So true.
But he is a mexican with red hair which is rare and special.
Canelo really has two losses and golden boy will never put him against a mayweather/lara type fighter again.
Stick him in with clotty to look good and cotto in may then pac in november at a catchweight.
Canelo has two losses? He only has one loss, a total whitewash against Floyd. He beat Lara. In any event, no one can say it was a robbery.
What's wrong with fighting Cotto? It's a tremendous event and Cotto looked fantastic his last time out. The Pac fight won't happen because Pac won't go above 147 again.
I don't really understand the dislike for the Clottey fight. Clottey isn't a top ten guy by record at 154 but he's coming off a good win against Mundine and has good defense, not in the lateral movement sense, but in the African/European high guard model. It's another style for Canelo to learn to beat.
Also, Canelo is 23 or something ridiculous. I got on him about cherry-picking opponents in the past, but now he's fought Angulo, Lara, Trout and Mayweather. He's clearly willing to face tough challenges.
