      It all depends. He can stick around a deadly Lara at 154 or move up and get tangled with much larger 160 pounders like Golovkin, Quillin and Martinez.

      Either way no one wants to see him keep fighting midgets and washed up fighters forever.

        whether he still does 154 or not will greatly determine the landscape from 147-160 imo

          Funnily enough, Alvarez is so huge for 154 that he's actually bigger than all three of them.

            I think so. He needs to train smarter.

              Any idea what kind of conditioning work he does?

                He's young and might need to move up sooner or later. TBH Canelo is not that big, 5'8. He might just peak at middleweight.

                Both Lara and Quillin show Canelo how not to be a little pussy diva hiding behind his manager.

                  Alvarez isn't tall for 154 but he's very thick. I think he'll be at middleweight within two years.

                    Probably not. He doesn't strike me as the type to slack off in training, so if he missed the jr. MW limit, he has probably outgrown the division. Not surprising at his age.
