Better Opponent for Mayweather: Guerrero OR Alvarez?

Or you're being too biased? Unlike Guerrero we've seen Canelo hurt by a much inferior fighter than Berto. That's why I said what I said. Or let me guess, he was just a kid?Originally posted by New EnglandQuote:

so a physically strong jr MW (who will finish his career at 160 or 168, and weighs in the 170's on fight night,) isn't going to take shots a former featherweight took?
you just don't like canelo, man.
it is what it is.

i have no bias concerning canelo alvarez. it might be perceived that way, as i generally bring to light the realities of the matchmaking your seeing in his career.
he was 19 years old, yes, and when you're 19 you don't take punches the way you do when you're a grown man
there have been a handful of world class fighters at 19 over the history of the sport. canelo alvarez certainly isn't / wasnt one of them. he wasn't there physically, and he doesn't have skills like the guys im about to mention.
benitez, tyson, vargas, pipino cuevas, are a few that jump to mind. somebody can probably help me out with a few more.Comment

Ideal Scenario:
Mayweather vs manny first half of next year
Alvarez vs Winner of Cotto/Trout first half of next year
Mayweather vs Winner of Alvarez vs Cotto or Trout later next year
Then Mayweather retires undefeated. We were able to witness a highly skilled ATG, also our era's main star, leave the game without a single loss. He probably won't be up there with the likes of Ezzard Charles, but this breaks the old order. Great fighters can retire undefeated.Comment

We can only hope. He'd retire fighter of the year too if he were to do that.Ideal Scenario:
Mayweather vs manny first half of next year
Alvarez vs Winner of Cotto/Trout first half of next year
Mayweather vs Winner of Alvarez vs Cotto or Trout later next year

What if Pacquiao loses to Marquez, then what? Or Marquez gets robbed again?Ideal Scenario:
Mayweather vs manny first half of next year
Alvarez vs Winner of Cotto/Trout first half of next year
Mayweather vs Winner of Alvarez vs Cotto or Trout later next year

Mayweather vs Marquez II, Mayweather vs Canelo. Then retire

I forgot all about that. I expect Marquez to beat manny and not get jacked this time.
I just want to see Floyd fight one more time. There'll be ****** hype imo since he's coming out of jail.Comment

Wishful thinking but its not going happen once that money runs out he will back and a very nasty ko is bound to catch up to him. May is just another jack Johnson that will end up brokeIdeal Scenario:
Mayweather vs manny first half of next year
Alvarez vs Winner of Cotto/Trout first half of next year
