Canelo is a joke.

To be fair even Barrera was fighting stiffs for 40+ fights.

not with a championship belt he didn't

Power? Knocking out jr welterweights does not mean you can stop Floyd.

What style does ginger possess to bother Floyd. He's a less experienced Cotto, with crap stamina & babied to this point. Trout, Lara & even Molina pose a bigger threat to almost anyone able to compete at 154.[/QUOTE

Lmao!! No one said he can stop floyd. Learn to read. I said his style posseses the most trouble for Floyd. He has a solid quick jab and always punches thru his target with a great variety of combinations. Good body attack as well. He has a good straight right which Floyd has been caught with in the past and can come in with a left hook. If you don't think Canelo has power then ask cintron. Sergio Martinez, Alfredo angulo, and Carlos Molina couldn't knock cintron out. To say Canelo has no power is not true. Duh I just said Molina, trout, and Lara are more deserving but Floyd wants money and Canelo is where the money is. Canelo still needs to develop though...I'll say it again he's only 22.

Martinez both ko'd Cintron & ud'd him in the same fight. But in fact, before ginger was fed Cintron, Molina sonned him & he was reduced to a life & death struggle on espn.

You're kidding surely. Croft? Toledo? C'mon now.

Canelo punished cintron in a way Martinez and Molina couldn't. You said he has no power. Point is even those who don't like Canelo can agree he has good power.

[Spray_resistant]

He is a good fighter but his run as a defending champion has been laughable.

Yeah, he beat a shot fighter who was just previously sonned by Molina & in a life & death struggle with an espn fighter. Beating a shot guy, who can't even beat an espn level fighter convincingly is nothing to brag about. They made sure Cintron was good & shot to make the fight. Just like with Mosley.

[AL_Camino]

Canelo has skills but he hasn't really faced a true threat to convince the skeptics if he is the real deal. When he faces a young hungry, prime junior middleweight, then we can all see what Canelo is about.

Cintron was hardly sonned. It was a good scrap.

Agreed with this statement. (GBP needs to put him in the ring with someone who actually is a legitimate threat.)

Also in agreeance. He really needs to fight someone who can pose some type of challenge. C class fighters, fomer 120 pound fighters, retired over the hill champs, washed up fighters, and fighters with no pulse wont show us anything.
