    Canelo would get bust up by Maravilla

    in his prime Maravilla had good wheels, good speed and power, heart and a good chin


    His style is all wrong for canelo and Sergio knew how to get you out of there when you were hurt


    Canelo is a natural counterpuncher and all his fights with top southpaws have been close

    Maravilla is a better fighter Lara and Trout imo and more dangerous

      Agree 100% with this... Much better than Trout and Much more dangerous than Lara.

          I would just like to remind people that Sergio did struggle with both Matthew Macklin and Darren Barker who boxed.

          I think it's a terrific fight.

            I like that fight.
            Martinez was often knocked down, so i could see him touching the canvas.
            Overall though, i think Martinez would be slick and cute for Canelo.
            I'd pick Martinez.

                    I like that version of Sergio to pull out a 8-4 9-3 type of decision. Canelo has the power to hurt and stop Martinez but I don't think he could land anything significant on a prime Martinez, and I will tell you I am not the biggest fan of Martinez, I think he was a bit overrated at times. But he had too much movement and speed for Canelo, and his power always kept fighters honest, you couldn't just walk him down because he carried concussive power, I think that was his x factor actually.

                      Martinez would outbox and outwork Canelo.

                      Canelo would gas out by the mid-rounds just trying to keep with Martinez's footwork.

                      It's a shame Martinez got old and his legs gave out. But if he didn't age then Cotto would have never fought him, and Canelo probably wouldn't either, unless at 155.
