He'll probably be getting a title shot next year.
Kid needs work but he's one thrilling/entertaining fighter.

I been watching Canelo on Tecate cards for a while now. He is def mexico's best young prospect. Wish Chavez Jr would fight him that fight would be huge in mexico. Of course Canelo would most likely stop him late or win a UD.
I'd like to see Alvarez step it up now. He's thirty fights in now, no reason for anymore Tyners.
It's not so simple who does he step it up against? Most welters that are ranked are cash cows. He may be 31 fights in, but he's still not even 20 yet. I guess he could go against Aydin or Lujan.Quote:

Granted it was more of a vague he needs to step up than specific but just thinking about it Lujan would be ok. Maybe try to take Aydin's title? Hlatshwayo. Gomez. Judah. Ricardo Torres. Antwone Smith I would consider a step up.
He could probably get a shot with Clottey but I wouldn't put him in with Clottey.
Lure Mighty Mike up :o
Did you edit in Lujan or Aydin, I thought I came up with those two on my own ;D
Nope those were my first two choices.Quote:

Awesome clips Mick.Thanks for that
I agree Spicoli they should match up Canelo with someone like Lujan... ;)Quote:

What's Jose Luis Castillo up to these days?
Soto-Karass would be a helluva fight.Think he got screwed over royally last outing against an opted out Gomez after starting slow but he was getting caught abit,but reach,experience and grit could tell alot about Canelo...Shamone is smooth and capable but just dont see him dealing with Canelos strength as it goes...Castillo,nah...good name but shot to bits,Lujan would be fun and no push over.Alvarez needs to have an acid test vs a live body-threat before he gets complacent and maxes out feeding on Tyner types.Quote:

A bit too much of a step up IMO...Quote:

I can't see the video at work, but I'm going to guess Lanardo doesn't carry his power up to 147. He was meh at 140 and had a chance to become something. It's kind of sad to know he's become somebody's tomato can. Really nice guy, though.

Wow castillo 5 fights in 2009... and we dont hear about him.. :( how the mighty have fallen.. to think this guy had a controversial loss against mayweather that resulted in a rematch and fought in epic battles against corrales.. its a shame, i almost forget that hatton knocked him out and thus he should retire..... wow that was quite the rant im done ;D:-X
