Who care?????boxing in Mexico is no money for USA! 26 million Mexicans watch Cotto vs Canelo and they didn't paid a dime for it! they watch it for free down there while we have to paid for it !!!
Baby sit? He just turned 25 and has already fought EVERY fight the fans has asked for. Has fought Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, Cotto. Tell me another fighter that is fighting more high quality fights? And tell me what fighters in his age range that are even close to this level of competition? Hell look at fighters like Thurman and Wilder who are much older and still refuse to fight one top fighter that the fans are asking for. Yet Canelo has been a champ at 160 for all of 1 week and has something to prove yet the 2 fighters I have named technically been "champ" for a year or longer and have yet to even face a top 5 fighter in their weight or 1 fighter the fans are asking for. If we go a year from now and Canelo hasn't fought GGG then you can start bad mouthing him. But Canelo has earned my respect and it's pretty foolish to say a word about him when he's doing nothing but fighting top fighters and all the top names fans are asking for while other fighters who are older then him are fighting nobodies. If we making a list of fighters who have something to prove I'm getting deep into that list before Canelo name comes up. If you think Canelo has been baby sit what does that say for fighters like wilder, thurman, khan, garcia, brook, spence, Charlo, Crawford, ect?
i never said he didnt have a great resume..but this 155 stuff negates all of that..i mean the man fights everyone he is 15lbc heavier than and u expect me to say GREAT RESUME..HE IS 15LB HEAVIER HE SHOULDNT BE SCARED TO FIGHT ANYONE...i give ppl who fought him more credit! not to mention he is possible 1-2-1 in his biggest bouts...im not here to talk angulo and kirklan...but larr and flod beat him him and trout could be a draw..he outright beat cotto..that is the only fight he didnt need judges
I agree with him.... I wonder why Estrada doesn't get on more P4P lists also. He lost to Roman but it was a close fight, he gave as good as he got and deserved more recognition of his effort on the score cards. Like another user pointed out he is also only 25, 2 or 3 months older than Canelo.

Lara didn't beat canelo he talked a big game to get the fight then disgraced himself by running. Most fighters win or lose you face a big name on the big stage you gain exposure and it helps your fanbase. Yet the opposite happened to Lara who lost a close fight but the way he stunk the joint and embarrassed now haunts him. It's like a bad odor he can't rub off and look at his fights since no fans show up, no fans watch and the ones who do boo him. Lara lost that fight in the ring and with the hearts and minds of fans who still give him grief over it. And trout got dropped and admitted he lost the fight in his post fight interview. Draw my @ss. Listen to trout tell you himself why he lost the fight.
As for weight canelo makes weight and is not the first fighter to rehydrate after. And he did not have a 15lb advantage against Lara, Trout, Angulo, or Kirkland so stop with that. All those guys are huge and rehydrate a ton. Trout and Angulo have fought last 3 fights at middleweight, kirkland has fought multiple times at middleweight above 154 and lara is talking about moving up to middleweight and started his pro career weighing 158 at the same time when Canelo was fighting at 147. People forget 5 years ago canelo was a welterweight. All those guys i named cut a ton of weight just like Canelo yet i dont hear you bashing them because they make weight and all those guys normally rehydrate 10lbs or more on their opponets at 154.
he fought every fight you or any fans have asked him so again how is he being baby sat? Going by his track record I have no doubt he'll fight GGG because he's fought every fighter guys said he wouldnt so you can't say he is being baby sat, that just makes no sense. He also already fought in 3 different weight classes but you bashing him because he after 1 week winning the title he hasn't fought the best 160 fighter in the world. Yet GGG is over 30 and has yet to move up 1 weight class his ENTIRE career to challenge himself. GGG has yet to fight anywhere close to the competition Canelo has fought. Yet it's Canelo who has to prove himself not GGG? It's canelo who is baby sat despite all these tough fights he's taken but not the long list of fighters I have named in my previous post who have belts for over a year and haven't even fought the top 5 in their weight class yet and those guys all much older then canelo? That's my point it's hypocrisy at its best.
Canelo just turned 25 a few months ago and has already faced 8 world champs, multiple HOFs, multiple top 10 p4p ranked fighters at the time he faced them, and multiple lineal or world recognized true champs at his weight (non paper champs), and fought in 3 weight classes winning world titles in 2 weight classes. Last thing I can say about canelo is he is being baby sat. LOL
No doubt he has to now prove himself at 160 but his accomplishments so far in his career speak for themselves and he's been matched toughly based on any measurement you want to use he's been facing tougher fights then his peers.
Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez has selected WBO/WBA flyweight champion Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada (33-2, 24KOs) as the best fighter in Mexico.
Estrada has been dominating the competition and hopes to get a rematch with his division rival, WBC champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, in 2016. Estrada lost a twelve round decision to Gonzalez in 2012. Gonzalez says Estrada was the toughest opponent of his career.

El Gran Campeon has spoken. Canelo must beat GGG...
Without a doubt El Gallo Estrada is the best fighter Mexico has. Too bad he is mostly ignored. Canelo is pretty damn good too but El Gallo is better in terms of technique, stamina and speed.
