I think he will beat Salido, because after the second Juanma fight he was not the same fighter. I think his chin got weaker, I remember he got dropped like 3 times against some unknown guy. Then again with Mikey.
I felt the same way after that wild fight he had with that Filipino, Haya I think. He was down twice but he just got careless in that fight because he was in total control before he got caught with a huge left hook.
But after seeing Salido take everything Mikey had its hard to believe is punch resistance has diminished that much. Salido is like Marquez, you can put him down, but keeping him down is the hard part.

I remember Canelo made like 3 sparring partners quit. Then he did nothing against Mayweather. Then again Marquez Knocked down a sparring partner almost the same way he KO'D pacman.
1 pro fight with no headgear & no fights beyond 4 rounds & he gets a title shot? i'm still not convinced he is the real deal. I might put some money down if salido is the underdog...
I think it would have made more sense to fight a few more fights against quality opponents before taking on Salido. But you can't deny his amateur record and he did beat Ramirez convincingly in his first fight.
