Canelo=Chavez Jr. 2.0???

[imperial1]

I have never seen Canelo training in his living room or testing positive for Marijuana..nor ignoring the greatest fighter he has ever met(his father) while jumping in a swimming pool

****** post. Canelo has already achieved far more then Chavez ever did and we have not seen any issues with him clashing with numerous trainers and having the lazy reputation. Chavez is a joke. Other then both being Mexican I don't see anything similar in their fighting style, skills, preparation or dedication to the sport of boxing.

And what's the ****ing issue on smoking some marijuana? Michael phelps, multiple gold medal winner was smoking pot too. It doesn't mean anything.

It'll get you fined, suspended, victories overturned etc. So, yea, it certainly does "mean something", whether fans agree with it or not.

They both got easy fights early but Chavez was living off his dad's name. Canelo earned it himself in my opinion.

WTF??? Canelo seems to be the poster boy for discipline. Manages to successfully cut massive weight every time, clearly trains intensely and follows his trainer's instructions. They'reboth Mexican and both boxers. The comparisons end there.

So discipline that he had to make his own weight class so he can fight in because he can't lose a pound to make 154? Yeah he discipline all right

He made 152 on the dot for Mayweather. Weights for other fights are just politics. No different than the can crusher that won't bend from 160. Hate all you want but the truth is that Canelo has shown exceptional discipline.

Canelo takes his craft far more seriously than Chavez and is more talented.

Both do benefit from being master weight drainers though.

Alvarez has been in the ring with Cotto, Mosley, Kirkland, Lara, Mayweather (his only loss), Trout, and Angulo, and is 25 years old. There aren't many active top fighters with a better resume than that, and at 25 years old he may not even be hitting his stride.

His skills were on display in the Cotto fight. The upper body movement, punch placement/combinations, the ability to pull counter, using his legs to escape pressure, etc, were all there. By the time he's 30 he could be something truly special.

TL;DR He's leagues above Chavez Jr.
