Mexico City - WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Álvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs) scored an easy fifth round stoppage win over former world welterweight champion Kermit Cintron. Alvarez started slow but picked up the pace when Cintron appeared to be visibly hurt and badly tired in the fifth round.
There were two noticeable items, and it wasn't the ease of the victory. The crowd was much smaller than expected. Only 7,000 people were in attendance at Plaza de Toros, which has a capacity for 45,000 fans.
After the fight was over, the fans started chanting for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the WBC middleweight champion and Canelo's main rival in Mexico. Chants of "Chavez, Chavez, Chavez" and "Julio Cesar, Julio Cesar" rang out.
The Mexican fans are tired of waiting and want to see the two unbeaten boxers collide, but the fight is not close to a reality because Alvarez's promoter is demanding a catch-weight of 156-pounds, which is impossible for Julio Jr. to make.

I ain't bashing what floyd does in the ring, it's what he does before getting in there that's the problem. he calls himself money mayweather and he isn't lying. it would be a bad business move for him to fight manny. floyd has everything to lose in the fight. so why fight someone who might actually beat you, when you can pick out other fighters that you know you can beat and still make millions? pac already has losses, so another one wouldn't be a big deal. for floyd it would look like all of the negative things people said about him are true and he would be clowned relentlessly.
Im just talking about the name calling period which is kinda silly to me. Anyway another loss for Manny would be a great deal actually. If he wouldve lost that decision to Marquez (which he shouldve) then there is no Manny/Mayweather fight to even talk about as no one would care anymore. Thats why Manny got the decision in the first place! Also u act like Manny is the only good boxer out there and that he is the only threat to Mayweather. Ortiz isnt a bad fighter at all and has great knockout power and is a very dangerous fighter so to me that wasnt necessarily an easy fight goin in. One punch can end it all and Im sure u know that.
When Mayweather fought Mosley he had just knocked out Margarito and everyone was saying Mosley looked as good as he ever looked, then when Floyd beats him everyone says that Mosley is old. People just dont want to give credit where credit is due. Got Em!!

ortiz was never going to knock floyd out and do you really want to brag about floyd beating dude after the way it ended? GOT EM!!
mosely just didn't have enough gas left in the tank to keep up with floyd for 12, he looked good at the start of the fight though. almost knocked that boy out. DOUBLE GOT EM!!
it's going to take a combination of speed, power and stamina to beat floyd. manny has all three, but that doesn't guarantee victory. just gives him a better chance at it than everyone else.

Dude u dont know what wouldve happened if that fight continued and if dude hadnt thrown a jumping headbutt haha. Regardless ortiz is still a very good fighter and I would like to see Manny fight him. Also Floyd knocked that foo out like he was supposed to. Call it what u want to but thats exactly what happened. Atleast he didnt get a decision he didnt deserve! Also in a boxing match anything can happen as we have seen upsets plenty of times so of course Manny would have a chance but he isnt the only formidable opponent out there. Thats all I am saying. Got Em!!
how about Canelo vs Erislandy Lara? I think if he wants mayweather, he should fight someone who is a good defensive fighter, has good speed and is a great counter puncher.
I think that would be the best fight for him to prepare for floyd. Lara is also golden boy so it's an easy fight to make. The obvious problem though is I doubt golden boy would take that kind of risk, especially after the beating lara dished out on paul williams
