Paez and Pendleton were both REALLY good fighters, solid pros. It was a big difference back then if you just look at the level those guys fought at and they weren't superstars.

I don't hate on Canelo, n I think he is a good kid with a ton of heart and work ethic, but c'mon. He is a PPV star and the kid is a novice!!! Spain, Pendleton, Paez, Vince Phillips, Julio Ceasar Vasquez...etc., were true pros who could do everything in the ring and they were never within smelling distance of ppv.
