The Ring: Whats your thoughts on Maidana-Canelo?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

disgrace to ring mag

oscar and crew are running a train on poor ring mag. once my current subscription is done i'm through with the ring. i made my mind up a few months back. it's garbage.

the photos are the best. that's about where it ends.

Fk them, google.com. Their ratings are becoming garbage too.

oh, it'll happen.

and it will be entertaining.

How so? As someone pointed out this is the same exact scenario as Lopez, a JWW coming up in weight. Lopez is as tough as Maidana and more skilled and look how well it ended up for him...

Shit fight but Canelo will fight Cotto in May anyway. It's frustrating being a Canelo fan but I'm looking forward to Cotto vs Canelo, once Canelo beats Cotto the boxing world will have no choice but to give him his props.

I like Canelo, he made me a believer, but this is getting ridiculous.

Maidana isn't even legit at 147 yet. What the ****. Fight Delvin Rodriguez or something if you want to stay fresh until the Cotto fight.

Im amazed he even has fans, the dude is a disgrace. They talk about Pirog being one of the worst champs (ex champs now) but Canelo is THE worst Champ no doubt. I guess people are suckers for his little combos when he knows his opponent can't hurt him or won't throw back.

Exactly. He's going to be soft as shit in the gut at JMW. He'll fold once Canelo starts ****ing him to the body. And Maidana isn't that skilled either. He'll be standing in there trading with a guy that's bigger, stronger and way more powerful than he is. Canelo will walk through anything Maidana throws. This fight will be a complete one-sided massacre.

If anything, how about Maidana vs. Josesito Lopez @ 147

their ratings are generally pretty good. they're sure to follow a lineage, for instance.


maidana is a better fighter than lopez. he's got more skills, experience, and talent. the lopez fight was entertaining. the layman considers a fight where guys take punishment entertaining. maidnana is an entertaining fighter. he'll have no rout to go other than to try his best to take canelo out.

not a complete joke like lopez, but still, alvarez right now is a joke of a titleholder. the protection and pampering of this kid is embarrasing. like seriously, why not try facing someone like k9, rosado, or molina? then there's also other names out there like rabchenko, quintana, dzinziruk, or even roberto garcia? all these men are legit LMWs, why the hell are they looking at divisions below?
i like watching alvarez fight, i think he's got tremendous potential. i was really high on him around the time he fought jose cotto thinking he was going to take over this division, but instead he is given a world title at a c/w and is turning out be some kind of paper champ like ottke or something. i really hope this is all talk. alvarez needs to fight actual LMWs.

yes it is. a complete joke. lopez at least had a decent win at ww. maidana's win over soto karass isn't even decent.

CALLED IT!!!!!

My thoughts are, if he wins, nothings different (or the whole "he only fights welterweights thing" simply becomes more prominent, which means things are different... they're worse)... If he loses, its all bad...

Let's not get carried away, his opposition is shitty but it's still better than Rigo's, whom you're riding hard. The worst champ right now is probably Peterson, caught juicing but still allowed to keep his belt.

that's a way better fight man. maidana, lopez, guerrero, ortiz, bradley, alexander, bailey, vargas, and brook. so many matchups at WW. alvarez should stop looking down there, he's got plenty to choose from at LMW.

yes it is. a complete joke. lopez at least had a decent win at ww. maidana's win over soto karass isn't even decent.

didn't even think about that. i just looked at the two fighters (maidana and lopez) and figured maidana is the stronger tougher fighter. whether it'll be entertaining or not, the fight should not be made. maidana has yet to prove himself at WW.
