Muhammad Ali beat Sonny Liston when he was 22, an ATG HW who was killing everybody.
That's why I hate the "He's so young, he's too young" crap. Adrien Broner is only 23 and he's already fought far better opposition than Canelo. Canelo's best wins are Ryan Rhodes and a past prime Cintron. Broner at least has beaten Litzau, Ponce De Leon, and is fighting a good young guy in Perez next. And it's not Broner's fault that Ricky Burns ran away from 130 when he was going to fight Broner.
I really thought Canelo would step up next and fight Vanes, Delvin, or even Rosado at the very least. Nope, not even close. That kid needs to learn that he's going to have to beat Vanes, Kirkland, Delvin, if he wants a Mayweather fight eventually.
