Is Canelo the real deal?

[KO MX]

He hasn't fought at jr middleweight for 2 years, he'll never fight there again. He can't make the weight. He's a Middleweight.

the Trout fight was at 155?

[BOXEO _]

the Trout fight was at 155?

The last time Canelo fought at jr middlewight was 2013. It's 2015 now.

Canelo will never fight at 154 again because he can't make the weight.

He is a Middleweight.

[Cut Man]

Yes. I'm a fan of Canelo. He is already a PPV star and in the next few years he will become even bigger. The only man to ever beat him was the great Floyd Mayweather. I think Canelo is the next star after Floyd. Definitely the real deal.

[boliodogs]

Pacquiao would beat Canelo just as decisively. Prime Martinez would humiliate Canelo, Thurman could arguably beat Canelo.

Canelo isn't this beast you want him to be (to make Floyd look better)

Down the years that win over Canelo is gonna look very overrated.

Well that's dumb, Canelo's been fighting at Middleweight for the last 2 years. He'll never fight at 154 again, he can't make the weight.

I think you are making a federal case over one stinking pound. None of the fights where the weight limit was 155 were title fights and if they were title fights Canelo would have made 154 as he always had before and even made 152 for Mayweather. Hell it's no secret he is going to 160 soon and he tried to get Cotto in the ring for Cotto's 160 pound title. It wasn't me that ranked him number 1 at jr middleweight it was the ranking organiz ations. If you think their dumb then that's what you think. The minute Canelo says he is a middleweight he will get a high rank at middleweight because he is that good and has that good of record. Canelo has a country full of Mexican boxing fans who think he has a great future and I agree with them. Maybe you think they are also dumb.

He aint ****.

[soul_survivor]

I belive he has all the attributes to take over boxing for the next years after Mayweather, what doyou guys think?

For so long, Canelo was a pampered joke, winning the vacant WBC lmw crown against a career junior welter lol but since then, he has started to impress me, it started with the methodical beat down of a faded Rhodes, then he had a lucky match up against Gomez and in all honesty a too close fight against a shot to **** Mosley but he showed improvement, heart, power and skill in all those fights. The Trout fight did it for me though, it was close but Canelo deserved the nod, he showed class and better defence than he had in years. He bullied the taller Trout in there, a man coming off of beating Cotto.


The mayweather fight came too early and was a farce but I can't argue with him getting the better of Lara, the guy everyone said would make Canelo look a fool.

[boxingfan2015]

defo one day has the potential to be p4p no.1

[JohnnyRebel]

Of course he's not the real deal... that was Evander Holyfield. Canelo is the Undefeated 155lbs King! If he stays at his preferred weight of 155lbs. he will never be beat again til he retires. As soon as he moves up to 160lbs he'll be a good boy lol. I still remember Canelo getting rocked by Cotto's brother lol... he was young doe.

[gmc_rfc_06]

I don't think so.

He's got power and some decent skills, but his footwork is terrible and he can't punch without being set. Not to mention he's too big for 154 and fights at catch-weights instead of fighting guys his own size.

Good fighter, not a great one...I feel he lost to Lara also.

[KillaMane26]

Real deal as far as having a fighter mentality....Skill wise Nah.....he aint elite
