there are many things to like about "canelo" alvarez. right now he's a super prospect but like all prospects, he still has many questions to answer which will be answered in the next couple of years. right now, he is mexico's number one boxing attraction, with apologies to marquez and all the other great fighters mexico currently has. like some boxing comentators said, he doesn't have the fastest hands, the best defense, the most power, the best techniques, but he does everything extremely well. but i think what sets canelo apart is his star appeal. just like de la hoya, who wasn't the best fighter in his prime (but a very good one), canelo brings star attraction to the boxing masses in mexico and to mexican-americans in the u.s..
i think the kid's going to get much better and time will tell whether he will be a great champion or just a good fighter, but the truth is this, nobody can deny his superstar appeal because he definitely has that.

WOW

not sure whether it was through baldomir blowing out of steam early doors or alvarez just having unique punch power. But that was some KO


Boxingscene reporting that alvarez-hatton could well take place as early as december....DONT DO IT MATTY

I agree. Great fight for Saul in that he'll gain some exposure to fans outside of Mexico and score a reasonable pay day. Bad fight for Hatton. On the other hand, Hatton has looked better in recent fights. Hasn't he?

another good experience fight for canelo.

Agreed. Although he was the favorite going into it, he passed the test with flying colors. Baldomir said he's never been hit like that before, which is saying something. Keep Alvarez away from movers and big punchers. Other than Hatton, what's another good opponent for him at this stage?
