I think Canelo is very good and I don't think he is looking for easy fights. A while back he told Golden Boy he wanted Martinez, Cotto or Mayweather in May. Before that he tried to fight Kirkland, Williams and Ortiz but stuff happened and those fights fell through. I would love to see him fight someone really good but till then I have to judge him on what I have seen against weak opposition. I will be betting a few hundred bucks on him no matter who he fights at 154. With the exception of the Lopez fight I have always bet on Canelo since I first saw him fight against Cotto's older brother. I believe he is the best 154 pounder in the world so I guess I am one of the people who have him "overrated". Time will tell.

Is Canelo Alvarez Still Overrated if He Defeats Austin Trout or Sergio Martinez?

i dont think canelo is overrated at all,and i dont think martinez would be a good fight for him right now sergio is a middleweight why should canelo jump the likes of murray pirog quillin chavez jnr golovkin sturm geale there all legit middleweights who make for some serious competition if martinez was his goal he would have fought at middleweight already i think floyds his defining fight even though floyds not a jnr middle hes very close to jnr middle but taking on trout and cotto 1st would be a better move before fighting floyd thats if floyd will fight him at 154lbs.At jnr middle the 2 biggest names for canelo are cotto and trout the most dangerous i think is lara! time will tell on that one,if he can beat cotto and then beat trout impressively i think he should be considered a true world champion even though hes still very young and still growing.

stupid hypothetical but yeah I think if he were to beat Trout or Martinez he would cease to be overrated.
But I don't think he would beat either guy, because he's overrated.

Canelo is being fed tomatoe cans..anyone can look like a monster againts a tomatoe can..

No disrespect but that is kinda of a stupid question...
I don't even give a **** if he loses to those fighters, just fight THE BEST, I have more respect for Amir Khan for actually taking on Tough Fights when he could have easily played it safe and hid behind GBP and take the easy path to Mayweather but instead while Calling Mayweather out at least Khan was fighting the best of the best in his division!
Canelo on the other hand...he haven't fought anybody good at 154...ANYBODY!
Also gain more respect for Chavez Jr as well for actually FIGHTING MARTINEZ when he probably could have kept avoiding himLast edited by sicko; 12-15-2012, 04:56 PM.
