If Canelo doesn't want to fight legitimate 154lbers, how is he gonna manage to get into the ring at 160lbs with Chavez Jr? Or, are you assuming that Martinez is gonna win and move down to accommodate Canelo? There's nothing real about Canelo yet, he hasn't been put through a test that lets us know what he's TRULY made of. He has potential and fights like he has maturity, but my opinion of him isn't set in stone yet. He hasn't faced not one guy who I can look back and say, "Wow, he put on a boxing display against a guy I ranked highly". Beating an extremely faded Mosley should not get you the type of recognition that he's receiving.
Although I think Lopez has a chance, I cannot say with a straight face that he's a "credible" choice. Ortiz was not a credible choice, neither was Gomez/Hatton/Cintron.
