    Do you really think Canelo might actually be 'great'?

    Do you think Canelo Alvarez has what it takes to become the next great fighter to come out of Mexico?
    Or do you think he might have a disaster waiting to happen ala Meldrick Taylor?

      Too early to tell but I would say good, not great.

        im not convinced,and even if he own matton,im still not convinced.

        he needs to earn his way to titles tbh.

        and he needs to fight tougher less worn and more skilled fighters.

        i can see a big showdown with him and chavez jnr.although neither come close to the legends mexico has had in previous decades.

          Not great. He will be very entertaining tho. He wont have the necessary comp to stake his claim. If he cant make 150 to fight the welters then he has no choice but to go up for better fights. I seriously cant imagine him giving Martinez or Williams problems anytime soon.

              id like to see him in there with a champ next but ma hatton is a definite step up in opposition and he should ko him. the other factor is he is only 20 so its possible but we have to see him up the caliber of opposition and see how he weathers the storm of the tough guys in his division. cotto, angulo, williams, ah hell even cintron. dzinzurik would be good to after maravilla whips him.
