Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera were world champs at 21...

That's an awful high standard. The only one who's comparing Canelo to MAB and Morales is Oscar and he's the fucking promoter. I don't think you should say "well these two undeniable ATG's, possible top 50 fighters did it so why can't Canelo?" If Alvarez accomplishes half of what they did, he'll have a great career.

You're right and this is a major reason I think Alvarez is a fabrication of HBO. Age excuse is bull****. Majority of the really great fighters didn't need to be babied to their first title.

This is what the game has become, u have to wait for a fighter fight gradually up the rankings, I hopes he goes for Margarito or Foreman next, I dont know if he is ready to fight Cotto just yet
