if Canelo wasn't ready after nearly 45 pro fights and nearly 10 yrs as a pro fighter, he never was going to be, despite the fact that he's only 23

people need to stop using that as an excuse, his age was one of his biggest advantages going into the fight so it's ridiculous that people are now trying to make it into a handicap, he also was bigger and 15 lbs heavier, so he had 3 major advantages going into the fight and well he just lost to the better man, IMO he was hyped more than the media but I'm not gonna go down the route of most people and say the kid was "exposed" there are plenty guys he can still fight and beat, and he can still move up and have a credible career, his defense has improved and his poise would help him out up in the higher weights with slower opponents

if he decides to move up to 160 (which IMO he shouldn't yet, there are still fights to be made at 154), he should take on Barker that would be a good fight
