I thought he was just a dream out of Richard Schaefer's vivid imagination. But I bit. I checked him out on boxrec.com
He's 29-0, 22 KO's. He's a red - headed Mexican welterweight.
I'm sold. Make the fight!
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. The "Cinnamon Head" kid is right out of Hollywood's Central Casting.
You know what Don King always says. "A fighter needs a story."
This kid may be a cross between Peter McNeely and The Great White Hype's Terry Conklin.
Not to be outdone, the World Boxing Council's President Jose Sulaiman has one of his minor belts around Canelo's waist already. You can't get one past Jose.
Seriously, he earned the belt a few fights ago. In fact for over a year all his fights have been for WBC, World Boxing Association, or North American Boxing Federation titles.
Not Enough? He's ranked No. 4 in the world by the WBC.
So let's not try to "Americanize" him. The public will find him. The public found Salvador Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Erik Morales.
So let's put him in with Mayweather and see what happens. If there were someone else other than Pacquio we don't know who it is.
The winner gets the Cotto - Pacquiao winner.
Commentary: How can this writer recommend that the self-proclaimed greatest boxer in the world fight a total unknown? Anything fight not against Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao, or even Clottey should not even be entertained...
