Boxing - Canelo targets JM Marquez
not a respectable move, really!
and people are crying about Nonito fighting guys in his own WEIGHTclass.

How is it comparable? Nonito has been in the top 5 p4p rankings for the past couple years and is 28 years old. He's considered one of the sport's premier fighters and therefore has been rightly criticised when he's not been fighting premier opposition.
Saul Alvarez is a 20 year old kid. A fight with Marquez would be a huge ask and he should get massive respect if he took and won it.
Just because Floyd beat Marquez doesn't mean he's a gimme fight for anyone else at welter.

So what? Marquez was in contention for p4p number 1 fighter in the world a year ago. Alvarez is 20 years old!
What do you expect, for 20 year old kids to be fighting the p4p number 1 fighter every fight?
People go up the weight classes all the time now. Manny has come up from lower than Marquez and smashed Margarito who is bigger than Saul. AND he got criticised for it!
If Saul beats Marquez that would be huge. It's great that he's thinking so big already.
Again I say to you, 20. Twenty years old! How many 20 year olds fight the likes of Marquez?
Also look at Alvarez's record. The only recognisable names are Carlos Baldomir and Lovemore N'Dou.
Baldo came out of semi retirement to fight him. He'd only fought once in two years.
Ndou took him the distance and a year before he was lucky to escapre with a draw against Matthew Hatton!
It's hardly the resume of a lethal punching phenom to whom poor Marquez is being offered up as fodder to entertain the crowd.
Marquez lost to Floyd because he's arguably the best and most complete fighter of our era. Alvarez is a long way away from that yet.
Plus the fight hasn't even been made yet. But I do find it funny all the criticism Alvarez is getting lately. It seems people are already judging him as a champion when in fact he's just a prospect.
Saual likes to fight smaller men who are legends, just like Amir.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Jmm Is NOT a Welterweight let alone a fooking. Him being in the press, Canelos connections, it all smells very foul. All about who you know....Saul knows Oscar...and they want a scalp for a young turk on the rise.
