      Yeah but he has made it to this point, I'm just saying that they should have kept canelo more active after the mosely fight instead of fighting Lopez and trout during that time period... I didn't like how they totally slowed his schedule after mosely.. They should have kept him active and fought Floyd this May.. Would have been much bigger fight

        152 pound catch weight made a joke of boxing when both men held the 154 pound title

          Ok, yeah, that makes sense.

          But I think the Trout fight was a very necessary one. Trout had just beaten Cotto, had a belt, and was undefeated. But Lopez, he definitely didn't need.

          However, keep in mind that Canelo had weird circumstances rearranging his schedule. He was scheduled to fight Paul Williams before, right? Then the plan was Victor Ortiz (but then he got stopped). He could have fought Angulo and Lara earlier too though.

            Also bare in mind that well, Angulo didn't reaaally turn up tonight, I wasn't expecting him to win, but I was expecting some sort of performance, had any the other previous opponents before Mayweather fought the same as Angulo did tonight then he would've had this erm, hype which we now speak of.

              Canelo weighing in at 155 is further proof that the 152 catchweight was too much.

                  Anyway the same thing happened after Cotto beat Delvin, after Pac beat rios. Fans are such in the NOW moment they don't look at the past or the big picture. If Floyd fought anyone else last Sept and canelo had just did this.....damn this place would beat crazy
                  So you really think that alot more fans that care enough about boxing to argue about it on the internet would have picked Canelo over Floyd if Alvarez had just finished beating up Angulo?

                  OK.

                  We're done here.

                    Rematch at 154? or Rematch at 160 if Canelo fights and beat Martinez in that period.

                      The old Martinez will destroy Canelo, guy gasses too much. Hopefully Martinez is a cut from his old self next fight. Then it would be interesting. What about Canelo Vs GGG
