Let’s have a look at Rojo’s last 10 opponents.

Jose Cotto- A career lightweight long past his best.

Luciano Cuello- Average at best.

Baldo- Would have been a decent win about 5 years ago.

Ndou- Ditto

Matt Hatton- Way out of his weight class and don’t be fooled by the ud. Had Hatton been able to crack an egg yolk never mind the shell Alvarez may have been in trouble several times in that fight.

Rhodes- A decent win but nothing to write home about

Gomez- Respect for the guy but by that time already a notch below gate keeper.

Cintron- A name sure but a fighter that has/had the mentality of a Med Fly.

Mosley- Again about 5 years past a time when he would have been able to put up a fight and in a weight class he has trouble with his entire career outside of the second Oscar fight.

Lopez- Ok a decent win over imo a credible guy that again was about two divisions out of his best weight class.

Has Alvarez even seen lateral movement and punch angles/selection close to Martinez at any point in his career? Has he ever fought a credible southpaw let alone one with the natural speed and ability of Sergio?

Besides, the only person Martinez would entertain coming down for in serious negotiations would be Floyd. And why should he consider it for Alvarez? He has more then paid his dues and is the Ring champ and probably world wide perceived champ at 160 which is also a weight Alvarez could make easily I might add. Alvarez on the other hand is another pampered pet and lets be honest paper champion. This is a classic empty call out.

Oscar should make a Chavez fight with his old buddy Bob in Mexico city.
Read elsewhere that Canelo vs Martinez is BS.
