Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez calls out Sergio Martinez for May 4 showdown

[bigstinkybug]

*If i were training Canelo, i'd take a couple more fights before a Martinez fight... but truth is, i saw nothing but destruction when he fought Lopez. Lopez is a very good fighter that would've given anyone trouble.
Canelo is the real deal. Some said"chavez is stronger"..lol... Canelo has been calling out Chavez 5 fights ago...
Martinez won't make the final bell against Canelo. Martinez doesn't get hit much, but when he does...he's shaken. Whats gunna happen when Canelo unleashes those crazy fast and HARD combo's ... i see Martinez folding like a cheap seat. And please, don't tell me Martinez is gunna ko Canelo... if Martinez couldn't ko Chavez, he's not gunna ko Canelo.

With all due respect, Canelo beat a jr welterweight. Not his fault granted as he wanted to fight Williams and then Kirkland but you cannot gauge his strength and his ability to hurt his opponent when he's fighting a 140 pound fighter blown up to 154.

I've read that Martinez responds poorly to being knocked down but as we know he requires surgery on his knee and when was KD'ed by a very very big man in Chavez he stood toe to toe and was making good account of himself.

I suppose it all depends on how old He'll get after the surgery, he is 38 years old and boxing is a young man's game. If he fight Canelo with the same athleticism and presence of mind that he had when fighting Chavez I think what you'll see is Martinez turning Canelo and pop shotting the young power puncher.

Read that Saul wants Floyd in May and Cotto later in the year which shows that Alvarez wants the best and no messing about for 2013.

Or he feels he is ready for the big boys. I would take Cotto/Trout winner first then Floyd.

*A welterwieght? a blown up 154 pounder? Lopez had just Ko'ed Ortiz who's generally considered a big guy. Lopez looked in shape and sound. When does he not become "blown up"? Lopez would give anyone trouble...PERIOD. It was a great win cuz he litterally ran through Lopez. If Lopez is Blown up, what is Mayweather? Pac?..yet they r beating all comers.
If Canelo hits u, then u go down... that's the way it looked to me... i don't see where being may, pac , Cotto or Martinez is gunna make a diff. Canelo's defence is his offence, and right now, his offence is the best in the game.

You must be delusional to call that a great win.

No.

[DavilaJones]

It was his first fight at 154, if he were to fight two or three times at that weight class before Canelo then I wouldn't criticize the fight whatsoever but you cannot say that he really was a 154 pounder during that fight.

Canelo ko 8

Hell yea!

[terrorsid]
