    He took it slow on his way up no one can deny that, but once he stepped up he never looked back.

    Kirkland,P.Will,Martinez,Mayweather,Lara,Trout,Ang ulo were all consireded top dog and he tried to fight every single one of them and has fought the majority of them.

      I love Canelo long time.

      He's the definition of an Aztec/Irish Warrior.

      Respect to the new PPV King.

          I certainly like what he's doing. Trout and Lara have both been considered high risk/low reward, but they've been fights the fans want. I applaud him. I believe he genuinely cares about his legacy and giving the fans what they want. While I admit I criticized him before, I have nothing negative to say now.

              I think he means Aztec, because he's Mexican, isn't Mexico where the Aztecs lived?
              And he mean's Irish by the red hair.
              I'm just guessing though.

                I hate when people say a fighter "took it slow" when they are still only at the tender age of 23.

                He just turned 20 when he KO'd Baldomir.

                Yes, he was a prodigy beating bums in Mexico in his teens.. But what happens when you throw a very young fighter in with the wolves when his experience isn't caught up with their potential?

                You get Fernando Vargas...

                And no one should wish that upon any fighter.

                  Come on guys, let's not pretend Canelo actually wanted the Lara fight. Lara made the fight happen, not Canelo. Lara had to stalk Canelo for 2 years, call him out publically, crash his press conferences and fly around the country just to get Canelo to agree to fight. Canelo agreed to fight only because the public is calling him a coward, and his sensitive a$$ can't take it.

                  Canelo calls himself a world champion, and a world champion is SUPPOSED to fight the best and take on all-comers. What he's doing is what every real man should do so let's not act like it's that impressive. There are plenty of boxers who came up much harder than Canelo and fought much tougher competition, yet do not get the same recognition he gets.

                  That said, I'm glad he's fighting Lara and it should be a good fight. But I got Lara via schoolage.

                    He making up for his past suspect behavior taking on Floyd and now Lara is what everyone is saying which I agree, but still the mass hype is crazy.

                    For his level of hype you would think the guy cleaned up a division or something of note. Matter of fact I'll say the hype is semi justified if he can beat Lara if not then shat duh fk up, but I bet it will continue anyway, if I know hype trains at all it will be back. It will be seen more in that "wtf you talking about" way tho, and taken just as serious as the people who come on here talking about Khan is the truth again and beats Mayweather.

                      The real question is why did you need to make an ALT to voice your (incorrect) opinion?
