Comments Thread For: Gomez: I'll Teach Canelo How a Real Mexican Fights!

[Medved]

gomez is not a cupcake

i think goldenboy is doing a great job bringing canelo along

they're looking past the current starpower to make sure that he's brought along correctly in terms of the development of a professional boxer.

he's very young
i do not care how much money he could draw against a big opponent now
he'll draw even more against them later

and maybe if you bring him along right he wont get his head caved in before he gets there

seriously guys... canelo is 21 years old
he's only just becoming a man. he needs to mature physically and learn a bit more. he's not ready to face a huge puncher yet. he's just not there. he doesn't get out of the way instinctively, he's got too much offense on the mind

and he doesn't have a consistent jab yet
a guy like sergio mora would give him a handful at this stage. maybe even beat him (but you know they'd job a mute fighter like mora with no pop who runs)
and if you let him develop, he's almost garanteed to stop a guy like mora later on in his career if he develops a jab

Ding Ding Ding, we have teh winrar!!!

I have been saying this for a while, yet people on here want Canelo " to stup duking an fight a #1"

They dont realize dude is ONLY 21, name me a prospect who was fighting (and beating) Top 5 dudes at age 21? Mike Tyson? I know some 21 year olds get FED to top 5 guys but name me a Prospect who at age 21 beat a legit #1-#5 guy in their division?

Do you not realize he still isnt fully developed? Putting him into a fight with a big puncher can RUIN HIS CAREER? Especially if he gets punched on the chin before it ever develops, he could become glass chinned if he gets knocked out when he isnt fully matured.

People are such haters/double standards, dude is one of the hottest prospects in Boxing and at 21 years old people want him to fight #1 or #2 guys, well name me another boxer who actually fought #1 and #2 guys AND WON at age 21?

Alvarez should be forced to drop his belt if he doesn't fight winner of Vanes/Angulo. I don't give a **** about age, get rid of the belt if he is too young to wear a belt. Let the real men fight. If he brutalizes Gomez its time to step the hell up and fight winner of Vanes/Angulo.

should be a good fight.Gomez looked pretty good in his last fight.He has
improved ever since his defeat to cotto.Canelo by dec

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

I think it would be an idiotic move if Gomez wants to trade with Alvarez unless he knows something we don't know like he thinks he can KO Alvarez.

He can't help himself, he's a Mexican and knows only one way to fight. Even though his boxing has gotten much better, in the end, he's going to **** with Canelo.

Alvarez will flat out destroy him

good point - good post. . . he is only 21 years old and still has some holes in his game. he's coming along nicely. No sense in throwing him to some monster-killer like Rubio and have him RIUNED like Lemieux is now. . .

21 years old BLAH BLAH SHUT THE HELL UP WITH HIS AGE THE GUY HAS A BELT HE NEEDS TO STEP UP OR DROP THE BELT

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Canelo fights like a mexican easy to hit no defense all offence but he was hurt against a 135 pounder in the first round and almost ktfo so if gomez can attack early he has a shot but canelo is picking gomez due to his name and inactivity

[lluisone]

sorry Gomez too much blablabla... he is going to beat you in 3 rounds you have no chance againt a 154 guy

[Babalu11]

Bunch of haters..this kid will KO Gomez...I think he is taking the right steps for being so young...He can't avoid Vanes or Angulo and eventually he will fight one of them.
