Yes he should fight Cotto,Berto and guys like that now.
They need to stop feeding Euro bums to Canelo

Canelo will have to move up because there is little hope of the 180 lb Chavez jr making 154 anymore. Skill-wise, Canelo will bust him up...the "Ginger" can throw the combos while Chavez is a1-2 punch fighter.Comment

A Cotto fight would be great..Cotto avenging his brother's loss. I have Cotto winning by a close decision at this point due to the size difference. Cotto is far more experienced but The size will play a BIG factor in that fight.Comment

Rhodes was actually ranked #4 in the World by The Ring magazine, so he was thought to have been a big step up.
It's not Canelo's fault he made him look like trash nor is it his fault Rhodes fought a ****** fight and had a very poor game plan.
Many people thought Rhodes would at the very least give Canelo a tough fight and many even picked him to win.

I don't have a problem with the pace that "Canelo" or Chavez Jr. is on right now. I think it's a good thing that they have been fed some decent, durable fighters that gives them a chance to gets some rounds in. They have been going the full 12 versus some solid competition (Rhodes, Hatton, Zbik, Duddy). Does everyone remember David Lemieux of Canada fighting a bunch of "China-Chinned" fighters and winning every fight with 1st & 2nd round KO's. I had been saying for the past year...that Lemieux needs to be in the ring with some fighters to make him go rounds. All of those early KO's will Back-fire on him. And then guess what happened....Rubio takes him past 5 rounds and Lemieux looked completely gassed and folded like a cheap lawn-chair.
The pace "Canelo" and Chavez are on....is just fine. all the fighters you guys want them to face...it will happen eventually. They are both young (22 & 24)...there is plenty of time for Cotto, Berto, Cintron...etc.
And because they are both young, around the same weight class....I can easily see this as a next great Mexican Rivalry (Vasquez vs Marquez - Marquez vs Barrera). I can see them fight 3 or maybe 4 time before their careers come to an end.Last edited by Darryl1914; 06-19-2011, 01:50 AM.Comment

Typical post fight thread. Before the fight he's the experience vet that's going to end his hype, after the fight he's a Euro bum. Funny how these bold statements aren't made before the fight.Comment
