    Castillo: Canelo is too green for Floyd

    Do you agree or disagree with Castillo when he says that Canelo is too green for Floyd and should be fighting other fighters such as Angulo and others (Kirkland, Trout, ... ) in his division before he thinks about taking on Floyd?

    I agree that he needs to fight more (fights) beforehand and more often.

    I don't know about green, but Alvarez should absolutely have to fight other good fighters within his division before he gets a payday like Mayweather will give him.

        how long can he milk a belt before he stops being "green?"
        that's bullshit, it's time for him to man up and fight a threat
        he'll lose to Floyd because Floyd's better, not because he's "green"
        Alvarez can fight, he just has a weak resume

          Not sure why Canelo's team suggested that he wait 8 months before he takes on his next fight. He had a relatively easy 5 rounder in September. Why not take on a fight in December/January then another in May? Then gauge where he is at at that point?

          Canelo needs to fight often. It's almost like he is becoming too big for his own good!

          The problem with Canelo is that he has a very suspect resume. Castillo can see that. So can others. Canelo needs to step it up but we need to see what he can do against an Angulo, Trout, Cotto, .... beforehand.

            The ginger will be in for a rude awakening when he fights anyone with a heartbeat.

                  The thing is, all of those guys are Canelo's size. Floyd may be a champ at 154, but he will be at least 2 classes smaller fight night. Fighting these big guys is not the right prep, too big of a target lol

                    Martinez is 38. People are still asking, wanting, begging for Floyd to take him on.
