SERIOUS!!! Saul Alvarez vs Alfonso Gomez

[armyash]

Alvarez is being spoon fed.

It's only his second defence of the title so I'm not too annoyed.

Hopefully they step up his level of competition soon though.

Surely to have the right to call yourself champ you should be prepared to fight anyone and everyone.

Stepping up after winning the title sounds stupid. Supposed to step up gradually until you reach the title.

I agree with you.

He was basically handed the belt when they put him against Hatton lol. They wanna make some money out of him before they put him against more dangerous fighters who could potentially beat him.

yeah definitely all about money, shame.

I read Mayorga was seriously considered as an opponent for Alvarez, but Goldenboy feared Don King would want too much money for the fight.

THAT would have been a lot better of a fight and a lot more of a test.

Simply compare how Gomez and Mayorga did against Miguel Cotto.

Cotto toyed with Alvarez before destroying him.

Cotto had a tough go of it with Mayorga last time out before hookin him in the 12th when Mayorga went for broke, then faked a damn hand injury upon being rocked.

Mayorga is a strong guy to put down Cotto and Mosley had trouble doing the job but both got them at the 12.. I would love to see how Canelo would do. That being said, I think Alfonso is an okay opponent due to his popularity. But so many other fighters I would love to see him fight than him.

Apparently the winner gets a shot at Anthony 'The World's Greatest Dad' Bonsante
