    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.
    I thought he had potential and like you say he is young but I do not see the progress i thought we would with him. I think Floyd knocked the stuffing out of him a bit mentally and he has just not pushed on since. He may take Cotto apart but Miguel is getting on and could be ready to pop at any time. Clottey is not junk but neither is he top drawer.

    I try to get up for him but just not convinced he has that extra something..that spark. He cruises. Let Trout off the hook and tried to be something that would be total opposite in his next fight, Mayweather. Looked the same with Lara late. Like he downshifts and frankly he'll only become slower when he admits he is a middleweight and fights there.

    Maybe they'll ruin each other.
