Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez: I'll Drop To 150 For Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The kid has stones, I'll give him that but he knows a payday when he can see it. By the time he's truly ready to face Floyd, Floyd will probably be in retirement by then, so I suspect he's trying to strike while the iron's hot. Besides, what if he could land that one lucky shot and actually win?

He's pushing for the fight, because he saw what happened with Sergio Martinez. The dude is a MW king and can't fight jack **** of good opposition now. 147 too low and 175 too high. Same will happen to Canelo in a few years. His final destination will probably be 160 or 168, in other words a ****ty div to fight if you want the best money. That's why he wants Floyd now that he can still make 150.

fall back Cinnamon Boy....stay at 154 and fight James Kirkland....stop running scared...take the fight with Kirkland...it will be BRUTAL for however long it lasts and thats what you're afraid of....I understand, you're a lil' too young to be going through hell and back....Kirkland-Canelo would be like Maidana-Ortiz....as soon as Cinnamon Boy starts feeling his blood run down his face and eyes become swollen....he'll fall back like Vic did....trust me...I see it in dude...I don't see Margarito or Karass or Rios in Canelo....dude is soft imo...those Mexicans I mentioned are hard mofos...tough SOB's....Cinnamon is sweet!!!

I like Kirkland but honestly, he would get brutally stopped by Canelo. He just doesn't have the chin to stay in that fight I'm afraid.

I can agree with that, but I also think Floyd has a point when he says many fighters have nothing to sell beyond their bland personas. I think what makes Floyd so great isn't just his boxing skills but his ability to market himself and a lot of other fighters haven't gotten this. The division may not be the best but a skillful marketer can make the most of a bad situation.

Ha ha ha good point.

Ill give the kid props for having the balls to call out Mayweather like that but this would be a complete missmatch. Kid has to grow some hairs in his chest before stepping in the ring with Mayweather or anyone else in that level. Try some other contender first...

Sorry Canelo, fight some better fights in 2012, and than I bet you'd get the fight in May 2013, probably Floyd's last fight.

Alvarez needs to fight the Cotto-Margarito II winner, Kirkland, Lara, Martirosyan, Angulo, Trout-Munidne winner, etc. Any combination of those fights in 2012 would be good and get people more hyped about Alvarez and more people would buy into him more, and it would make a Floyd fight at 154 legit.

Funny how all these haters say Canelo is fighting bums, and now that the 21 year old is calling out the p4p best, people are discrediting him saying hes not worthy. At least hes willing to fight the best. I dont see Chavez jr trying to fight martinez. I never saw Floyd call out De la Hoya or Mosley when he was 21. Floyd wouldve got killed by De la Hoya and Mosley at that age. The fact of the matter is this, yes Canelo is not ready for Floyd because hes still not fully developed but at least he has the balls to take on the best. Thats a warrior right there. Even if he loses to floyd, it could still be beneficial to canelo. Go the distance and win some rounds and he could learn from this. Only risk that would ruin his career would be if he was too get kod early which I don't think floyd could even ko Canelo. It would most likely be a Floyd decision. If the floyd pac fight happens, then a canelo vs cotto-margarito would make sense with the winner of both fights fighing each other in september.

Which best, are you for real? He hasn't fought a decent fighter in his own division he is been fighting corpses, and he wants Fraud, common he wants the money that will bring that fight plus once he loses he can come back with his pride still intact, after all he got beat by the best, not Kirkland, Lara or Angulo, he needs to answer the challenges that he have at 154...
