    He is the joke of the 154 lb division...

    Demetrius Andrade with only 15 fights....just beat Grady Brewer...fresh off whipping Fernando Guerrero...

    Brewer is better than anybody Alvarez has faced so far..

      Kirkland isn't really overrated. I think majority of people see him for what he is and don't expect him to accomplish that much. Most just see him as an entertaining fighter but nothing with staying power. On the other hand Canelo is looked at as this next great superstar and imo he isn't even close to that or skilled enough to ever be that. I would consider Canelo overrated. He might be better than Kirkland but he isn't as good as a lot of people think.

        If he's better than Kirkland he's doing a good jod hiding it.

        I don't see shi.t when watching his fights...

        GBP will have hell keeping that hype-train on the tracks.

          Kirkland with Wolf will hand Canelo his first L. Everyone should expect Shane as the next fight because he is getting older and lost his last two big fights. He lacks confidence and will see the fight as another payday rather than a chance to reclaim a championship.

          I like watching Canelo fight because he DOES have potential; however, his promoter is full of crap. Trout, Vanes, Kirkland, Angulo, & Molina are all wanting to fight Saul. Every single one of them would be a good fight, and they all have the potential to be the future of the sport if given the right exposure (I think the Kirkland fight against Ishida would have been different with Ann in his corner). Canelo hasn't proven that he is better than the others, he just has more money pushing his name.

            By who? His promoter? Mexicans? Let's face it a lot of people on here are not overrating Canelo...

              I think even an old Molsey would give Canelo trouble.

                    Then let's get ready for Canelo vs Mosley ... What a crappy fight btw ... After Kirkland beat Angulo I saw an interview with Sulaiman asking him about the future of Canelo. Sulaiman said that if Angulo had won the fight then it was going to be Angulo vs Canelo because Angulo was ranked as the #1 contender of the division. However he also said that since Kirkland won then it was not likely for Canelo to face him because Kirkland was ranked as #3 or #4 so it wasn't mandatory for Canelo to face Kirkland.
