Canelo=Yori Boy

[Mad_Dog]

I could not help but compare Canelo with Yori Boy. Yori Boy fought the same way, straight in and had a great punch. Except he had no defense and just tried to take your head off. I do think Canelo has a lot of potential, he is stronger than Yori Boy but man if he doesn't change trainers soon and changes his mindset, he is going to be taken apart by a slick boxer.

The comparison to Yori Boy popped into my head when I was reading elsewhere on this forum about Alvarez's 'overrated' punching power.

[ElTerribleMorales]

i wouldn't even say his power is overrated, i mean he's landing these huge blows with fucking Winnings gloves, i'm pretty sure if he was wearing Reyes or Grant gloves he would have blasted out Matty by the 8th

As long as they dont rush him he'll be ok, the only problem is he is a belt holder and a major one at that. Who will he fight that legitimizes him being a champ without risking him losing
Another thing he should stay at junior middle for a long time IMO, welter is imspossible for he can't make weight proven fact. Middleweight at 5'9 or 5'10" and 165 lbs fight night weight I don't know if he will have a strength advantage their either. But only time will tell for he is just 20 yrs old.

i'd love to see Alvarez KO Chavez Jr, put in a REAL fighter against a daddy's boy

but his showing last time out wasn't lol

[Spicoli]

I can't help but think of he and Berto a bit. Both huge talents but they are rushing the product to the top without fine tuning basics. He'll have to adapt 'on the job' instead of low key building progression fights...and the lack of weight discipline a whole nother matter.

Can see some Campas. Campas stayed on that body work like a mad man.

co-signed!

How about quintana or cuntron, i mean cintron as potential walk throughs?

Yup agreed, Cintron can still be dangerous but has a questionable heart, Quintana would be a good one too.The main thing is the fighter should not have the combo of power and slickness, either one only

[Ant Live]

Saul looked good last night. And I have to agree with the slick boxer comment giving Saul a good fight. But besides Martinez and Sergeii Dzinziruk, who else is slick? Cintron could be good but the heart factor is still a question. So that only leaves a bull vs a bull

Saul vs . . .
Augulo
K9
Margarito
And maybe . . .
P Williams.(?able chin now)
