Canelo to face Ortiz

[El Kabong]

Wait a damn minute....I know full well that certain posters on here were saying "Canelo would destroy Cotto" not too terribly long ago, and now Victor Ortiz is "Going to hurt Canelo".....Victor Ortiz hasn't been tested at 154 yet. Sure in theory he can carry the weight, but hell in theory Paul Williams could have been a light heavyweight (no disrepect to PW). Alvarez hasn't been tested yet, that is true, but I doubt someone like Victor Ortiz will be the best to do it because Victor doesn't have layers to his game he just has an all out frontal attack and that's it, he can't box, he can't stick and move, and who knows how his chin will handle Canelo's punches or how the weight will affect his speed and power. Just because the kid can crack at 140 and 147 doesn't automatically mean he can blast guys out at 154.

I think this is an easy fight for Canelo, I don't think at this point in time that Ortiz is any more dangerous than Kirkland or Angulo who are proven at the weight. Carlos Quintana would be more difficult for Alvarez because he can box.

Ortiz is fast, a big puncher (Mayweather is the only opponent not to hit the deck) has experience and is a southpaw!

If Canelo was hesitent against Shane he will shit himself against Ortiz
