Comments Thread For: Miguel Vazquez: I Knew From Our Rematch Canelo Would Be A Star

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It took two tries to convince him, but Miguel Vazquez has known for quite some time that Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez would become the boxing superstar that he is today.

The two met early in their respective careers - Alvarez just 15 years old and 2-0 at the time he faced a 19-year old Vazquez who was making his pro debut in 2006. Alvarez won a split decision that Vazquez contends to this day should have been scored the other way. Their rematch in 2008 was far more conclusive and also an early indication of his star potential.

"From the moment our second fight ended, I knew Canelo would go far in the sport," Vazquez said to BoxingScene.com of his countryman, who just scored a 6th round knockout of Amir Khan in the first defense of his middleweight championship Saturday evening in Las Vegas.

Fighting at 15 WTF?! Canelo is one crazy bastard. Having fought from that age must not be good for your brain. Still he is good, now fight GGG.

Of all the good fighters Canelo has fought, Vazquez is often overlooked. Mainly because of when those fights took place. But the fact remains, Canelo has an awesome resume for a guy 25yrs old. And has certainly earned his superstar, A-side status.

Yeah he's such a superstar that he can ignore mandatory challengers without the risk of any associated consequences.
I guess when you reach the pinnacle of the sport, the rules just don't apply to you anymore because you're just so popular. What a joke.
Who gives a damn how old he is or how impressive his resume is. Either fight Golovkin or stop pretending to be a middleweight champion, give up your title and go back to JMW where you belong. Oh wait, Canelo is a middleweight but would rather pretend to not be a full fledged middleweight until hopefully Golovkin gets old or moves up in weight because none of the other title holders will fight him.
But of course, it's Golovkin's own fault because he has no one on his resume.
