Canelo easy work for Mayweather!

floyd5654By 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.

Reynoso: It’s time for Canelo to step up and be a legend; Mayweather’s kingship is ending

can44343312351312By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s trainer Chepo Reynoso thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr. is about to be dethroned from his kingship by Canelo on September 14th, and he sees Canelo moving forward to become a legendary fighter.

It’s going to be extremely difficult for the 22-year-old red-haired Canelo to live up to Chepo’s expectations because he looked to be completely tapped out in putting out every ounce of his ability in his last fight against WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout last April, and Canelo really didn’t show that he was any better than Trout.

The fight is expected to do record numbers in PPV buys. At $65.00 per order,the promoters of this fight should to the right thing and give the fans a super card.

Golden Boy could capitalize on the massive media attention by promoting some of their best yet unpopular fighters.

A rematch between Danny Garcia vs. Amir Khan would be a very exciting bout. Before most of you yell for Lucas Matthysse let me explain.

Understanding Mayweather’s Genius

9qNS_XiY5Su1PGWPYaaR-vecU-0FWDfcA9tTIp_qGyI(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Eric Johnson: What is a fan? Fan is short for the word fanatic and by definition, a fanatic is a person whose enthusiasm or zeal for something is extreme or beyond normal limits. Floyd Mayweather has done the impossible, he has turned the people who hate him into indirect supporters, into people who support every outing, every event, and every fight he chooses to grace with an appearance. The people who hate him pay the same money that the people who love him do, doubling the profit he receives by receiving it from both sides of the rope.

Every time Mayweather fights, there is a frenzy of expectations that shadow his opponents. People cheer, and praise his foes, instantly giving them new support, giving them his indirect fans. I attended the Mayweather x Canelo press tour in New York, and I watched as thousands jeered and cheered the world champion.

Canelo: Guerrero didn’t have a game plan against Mayweather

floyd#10By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) isn’t giving Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero much credit for the effort he put in against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) last May in losing by a 12 round unanimous decision.

Canelo thinks Guerrero lost because he didn’t have a real plan in how to beat Mayweather like he will when he faces Mayweather on September 14th.

Canelo said this as quoted by esnewsreporting “Fortunately, Guerrero didn’t pose a problem for Floyd, and he really didn’t have a game plan. He just went at Floyd and didn’t do anything.”

Mayweather vs. Canelo: This Fight Should Have Been September 2014

Canelo Alvarez(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Chester Rivers: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) said it best during their promotional stop in Los Angeles for “The One.” Floyd stated that Golden Boy Promotions keep building up their fighters and he keep knocking them back down. This is the plain and simple truth. We’re all guilty of sipping on the Golden Boy promotional kool-aid in relation to the possible defeat of Floyd Mayweather.

Do anyone remember the lead up to the Victor Ortiz fight? In the build up, all we heard was Floyd’s troubled history with left handed fighters. Victor was coming off the biggest victory of his career with a gutty 12 round decision over welterweight champ Andre Berto. The Golden Boy media machine saturated the public with stories of Ortiz’s guts and glory. They told us stories of Ortiz being abandon by both parents and using that pain and life disappointments to build his heart and character.
