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

Vargas? I know you couldn't have forgotten Vargas.

I was just about to say he's about as good right now as Vargas was when he fought Quartey and headed into the Tito fight, which is a good thing...Fernando was very good, he never reached his potential but Canelo looks to have an opportunity to do even better than that.

I think he is the real deal, we're kind of just waiting for confirmation on whether that's true or not in a bigger type of fight.

Baldomir came in over weight for his fight with Canelo and he had to pay a heavy fine to Canelo. I forget how much but it was a good amount of money. Canelo gave the money back to Baldomir. Not many fighters would do that.

Canelo is definitely the "real deal" in the sense that he'll go places in the future. He's very young, and shows a lot of maturity and polish despite that. It's obvious that he's not ready for the top of the tops, though. Evidence: Mosley. Mosley grew even older and more ineffective for that fight and had no reflexes, speed, or even power. Still stood there all night in front of him.

Still, I see the makings of a pretty great fighter to be honest. He's been facing soft competition but I think he still shows a lot of promise in spite of that.

Canelo is the goods. He's going to be on top of the world in a few years, no doubt.

My problem with him is he has bad movement and his handspeed is nothing impressive a lot like Froch,top boxers will pick him apart i think.

[Visceral]

It's irrelevant right now while he's fighting nobodies.

I think he's a very solid fighter. He may have a problem with a guy like Lara, but outside of that I think he has his way against anyone around 154. People constantly talk about him being too young, but he has a ton of pro experience. There is a whole lot of talk about the quality of opposition, but hell to me that's being a bit nitpicky. He improves every fight. Kirkland is made to order for him, and then I think maybe we see a Mayweather fight, a fight in which I think would be extremely competitive at that point.

[optimuzprime]

he's definitely a legit fighter. Whether or not he has the potential to be special has yet to be determined.
