The Cintron fight was a good scrap? imo people should just enjoy the fights without worrying about whether the opponent was good enough on paper beforehand.

I'm all about good scraps but when you completely crap on the idea of being a world champion by defending it against the likes of Cintron it makes it hard to like him. He's just to groomed for a world champion and I hate that.

as far as canelo goes, we mite as well prepare for the mosley fight because i really can't see them puttin him in there with kirkland. Really don't know how they gonna suck hardcore boxing fans in2 buyin a fight with shane though? I know i won't but if it was kirkland id be in for sure. Hell, i'd pay to see canelo vs el perro before id pay to see mosley dance around and not engauge like he did with pac cause thats what would happen. Like sugar but should have retired after that mora circus. MY REAL WISH is a selfish one, but what about a Mayorga fight? granted ricardo has done nothing to earn a title shot, but he looked good against cotto last time out and we know it would be all action..... come to think of it, does Saul really even belong champ?.... peace boys

No, you never said he was ready. But his team said he was. That's the problem. The people that probably know him best knows he's ready.

That sounds like you agree with them that he's ready?

Honestly, Pacquiao has the ability to end his career, he ended Hatton's and Margarito's.

He's not ready for Pacquiao and he would obviously lose to Mayweather too.

If the fight with Mosley does go down it isn't going to be on PPV. Canelo is not a big enough name in the US yet. He can have as many optional defenses as he wants until June 2012. Canelo already faced his mandatory, Chavez hasn't.

I thought the mandatory was Angulo, and was order to fight vanes whom he refused then Kirkland step in and won, let me c, Mathew Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez and Cintron, I don't c any world beater there, 2 jww's and not even ranked on their own div. one euro trash and a shot portorican...

He's 21, he's not the finished article by a long way, let him grow. This kid is going to be around for another 15 years.



He needs to learn to speak English, a 24/7 with Canelo would be great, he has massive potential.

He is a Champ, that's the problem if he were not a Champ ppl will not criticize him because he is young and has a lot of potential, but they make him a Champ too soon, they want to create a Tyson type of image but Iron has all the belts by his age, that means that he beat up on the best by 21...

true...gbp and wbc messed up by handing canelo that belt. canelo isn't a legit world champion.

see, i knew it was going to be mosley. i said if not floyd, then possibly mosley. kirkland would be the obvious mando but first he needs to get past molina. it'd be ****** if james lost and then got a shot at the title. it should be the winner of kirkland/molina but it will turn out to be shane mosley.

Yes, he's ready... He's had more than enough tune-ups.

No more excuses. Kirkland vs Canelo needs to happen.

That's their fault though, not his. What was he supposed to do, refuse it? it doesn't automatically mean he should take on all the top boxers at 21 years of age, they have to manage him carefully, they know he's not Tyson.
