    Well, that was the rumor alright.

    But I thought that the writer did a great job of allaying that rumor.

    It is what it is.

    He is a bleached, then reddened, Andre Berto

    Give the kid a break, he's still got some pimple problems to work out before he can fully dedicate himself to training. Most of that 1.8lbs was acne that sprung up overnight because he was nervous

    Canelo needs time to develop, he is not ready for title fights, but we all knew that before Hatton. The time to scream about the undeserving world title was before the fight via e-mail to Sulaiman. You think Saul is undeserving, why was Hatton fighting for a title at 154?

    He should dump that **** to give himself more options. I wish I knew the deal with his weight. If his management are correct, then he can make 147, but will only do so when absolutely necessary in order to preserve his career, hence his propensity for fights at 150. I believed it, now I'm not so sure.

    Anyone got any inside info on that ?

    Boxing is a learning curve, and the kid's got plenty of curve to go yet.

    If Canelo can make 147, he should be looking at another 4-5 fights, against different styled opponents, of increasing ability. Working on his defence and movement, I want to see his skills developed further, and see him tested against bigger guys that he can't push around.

    Then, depending on where he's at, look at going for someone like Senchenko or Berto.

    What would happen if the current WBC JMW champ fought Berto now?

      alvarez is like a Vinnie Paz. once he faces a quick hitter bye bye. Hatton was a disgrace and no competition. Alvarez is no 20 year old tyson. nice white mex looking kid average fighter. but hatton stinks so bad and looks sickening.

        When will Golden Boy throw Canelo into the fire???? He can't continue o fight stiffs for long. The hype around him is so crazy that the demand for him to fight top level fighters will be too great to ignore.

            He has to fight a Mexican, and soon.

            Give him Marg and then Angulo. Lets see this kid roll with the big guys.

              He can be fun to watch, but world class? no, not now anyway.

                He might turn out to be as good as Miguel Cotto.

                  Too bad fights with Top Rank fighters(cotto,vanes,clottey) wont happen..BUT! on the other hand a potential bout with kirkland next spring and a year end angulo fight would definitely be exciting

                    What I can't figure out is why HBO interviewed Amir Khan and didn't take advantage of the fact that Tim Bradley was in the same room! They should have have Bradley standing right there and let them talk some smack to each other.

                      Canelo is too young....

                      ....to mix it up with the the big boys, deifinitely a Mexican star but that's far it will go..Canelo is a combination of of Mayorga and Cotto, an exciting fighter but the kid leaves himself wide open everytimes I watch him fight..perfect guy for Mosley!
