Am i the only one who thinks Canelo is the real deal?

[Luilun]

It seems 99% of this forum think he's a hypejob....i dont think i've come across any big fans of his on this forum. It's pretty much unanimously agreed that he is a GoldenBoy hypejob.

I rate him very highly and think he is the real deal. Real deal being i think he is certainly one of the best young boxers in the world today and think he'll be right up those p4p rankings in years to come.

So let's see, are there any more who like me, think he's the real deal and not just a GBP hypejob?

By real deal i dont mean he could beat both Pacquiao and Mayweather put together on the same night....just saying i rate him very highly...wether he could beat Mayweather or not is a different story....

I think he can beat Pacquiao at this moment and is about one year from beating Mayweather, but who knows that HGH might keep Mayweather young.

I love Canelo, but he wont beat Kell Brook never. Thats a fact

[Clegg]

I think he's very good. Not on the level of Floyd or Pac but the next level down from that with Cotto, Ortiz, Alexander etc.

Nice troll effort.

He's a solid fighter. Nothing special like Barrera, Morales showed at his age. Marquez also seemed like a well rounded fighter at that age. Spotlight is shining much brighter on him than on those other guys though,not just because of his looks and undefeated record but also because bigger fighters generally get paid more attention. Problem with this dude is that he's becoming popular very fast. He's already a superstar and getting 1 mil+ when he fights. All this before he's accomplished anything meaningful. Hopefully it won't get to his head

I think he beats everyone @54 except for lara, mayweather and him vs cotto is a 55/45 fight in favor of cotto Imo.

ok but what are you basing that off of? the guy has SOME TALENT, but I haven't see anything from him to make say "WOW THAT GUY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT SOME DAY"

I think Oscar is marketing/selling his LOOK more then he is his SKILLS IN THE RING because to be honest I have yet to see it in the RING...but he is improving though...but at the same time it is kinda hard to tell if he is really improving or not unless he gets in with TOP HUNGRY FIGHTERS (like Kirkland would be a start) then Austin Trout, then Cotto, guys like that...if he looks good against TOP FIGHTERS IN HIS DIVISION then yeah the hype will be a lot more believable

I think he is the real deal as long as he stays focused and keeps improving. He catches flac for being a hype job but he was in line to fight Williams, now he wants to face Kirkland......I don't see him ducking anyone unlike some other Mexican stars out there.

I first saw Canelo fight against Cotto's older brother and I have been a huge fan of his since then. Every time he fights I bet as much money on him as I can afford to lose. He is dead serious about becoming the best possible fighter he can be. He improves every fight. He is totally fearless and very calm and focussed in the ring. He already KOed Rhodes who Ring ranked #4 in the world at the time he fought him. He is trying to get fights with guys like Williams and Kirkland. Maybe Golden Boy is keeping him away from Lara for now, I don't know.Sure he could lose to some of the tough guys at 154 and I would back off on my hopes for him. For now I will continue to bet on him against any 154 lb. fighter in the world.The Mexican fans really know boxing and they love him. I am a white guy here in the mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I think he's the real deal but he gets so much exposure while fighting subpar opposition that he will receive a lot of hate from the hardcore fans while being overrated by the mainstream fans. It's best not to talk about him on a message board because he attracts too many haters and nuthuggers.
