By Tom Drury: On September 14th, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in the hotly anticipated “Blockbuster” fight of the decade. Floyd Mayweather the pound for pound best and boxing’s biggest draw has dominated the sport for 17 years, outclassing and outsmarting all comers (44) in total, all coming up short on there quest to break the “Money Code”.
Saul Alvarez, the young Mexican fighter and superstar in the making is next in line to face off against the pound for pound best, unfortunately for Alvarez. I among others feel this fight has come too soon. Alvarez without question has earned his shot at the big time with a show of maturity, skills and smarts in his most recent victory over the talented Austin “No Doubt” Trout.
