Canelo is pretty spectacular. I don't care how old he is and how much people don't think of him .. NO ONE does what that kid to Baldomir at all. Another thing about him is as rounds go on in a fight his connect percentage gets stupid. He accuracy goes up as the fight goes on .. I see this kid stopping some high level fighters if he sticks to welter.
I dunno, he has a pretty big frame, and at only 20...he's still growing. I think he moves up to 154 eventually. Plus, the guys aren't as fast up there. I like Canelo though...hard to believe he's that young.
It's hard to say really. Baldomir was nothing more than an overweight welterweight himself that night. I'm all for people getting at the lowest weight they feel comfortable at the beginning of their career .. I'd like to see Canelo get to a title at welter before the unavoidable move to lmw.
If he can make 147 with no problem I'd rather him compete there for the time being.
