    I know he is a big guy, but i feel he would need a little experience with someone of canelos size, i think he should have taken a fight with a jmw instead, what lopez like on fight night? does he blow up much?

        The size difference isn't that big, Ortiz has always sounded extremely confident in being able to beat Alvarez. One time he ****** his teeth at the question, this during an Elie interview. Victor from the looks of it does not view Alvarez as a threat at all, he's genuinely not impressed in my opinion.

            Not really, Ortiz is a big welter and comes in at 160 plus on fight night anyway. I'm actually looking forward to this fight, I hope they provide a decent undercard so I can buy it!

              You say have a tune up with a JMW then throw a WW name out there.

                  you should always have a tuneup but that isnt always what's doable. The fact is alot of guys move up and take big fights in there 1st fights. Thats just what you have to do sometimes for the big fights. Its definitely an advantage for Canelo but it is what it is. Just like Khan might fight Floyd next in his first fight at WW

                    Don't think he needs it he's as big as Saul and hits harder with faster hands
