In the next year he needs to fight Andrade or move up though.
Canelito doesn't get a free pass...so what if he fought Trout and Lara....big deal...other guys fought them before Alvarez did.

His entire career is mostly easy fights.
That was what I was saying, his career has been easy fights up until that point, I think he felt as though he was finally ready to start stepping it up a gear and push on with the tougher fights, then Floyd came along and put a stop to that plan and he's had to go back to the drawing board
