You know what, eff it, I'm going to start sharing stories. Any of you dudes ever see Zab train or spar in real life? Some of the illest sparring sessions you'll ever see. It can be consigned by a certain person up here but I won't blow his spot, unless he wants to talk about it. Anyway my older brother was one of Zabs main sparring partners for years. Zab is the most disappointing boxer (for me) in the history besides Michael Grant. If Zab had Floyd's brain, he'd be a top 10 fighter of all time.

Team Canelo Confident: Saul Will Beat Sergio Martinez
By Rene Umanzor

José 'Chepo' Reynoso, the trainer of WBC 154-pound champion Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez (41-0-1, 30KOs), is confidenthis boxer can defeat Sergio Martinez (50-2-2, 28KOs), the WBC champion at 160-pounds.

On September 15th in Las Vegas, Martinez defeated Canelo's countryman Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32KOs), while a few miles away Canelo beat down Josesito Lopez over five rounds. Following their respective fights, Martinez mentioned Canelo as a potential opponent in early 2013. Martinez, a former junior middleweight champion, is willing to return to 154-pounds to make the fight.

"I believe and I am confident that Canelo would beat Martinez, and since the team of 'Maravilla' believe he can win, it will be history that proves which of us is right. We are interested in the fight because we know that Saul can beat him," said Chepo.

"[Canelo and Chavez] have two different styles. It would be a different fight because Canelo is not [the same kind of fighter as] Junior. We want the best fighters so Saul can write his own legacy by facing the best champions and Martinez is one of them. If the people want to see that fight, then it must be pursued because it would be spectacular and do good business."

I agree with this, Zab had so much ability. I thought his dad was a decent trainer but not the right trainer. I was hoping Sweet Pete could save his career but its too late :sadcam:

Agreed. His loyalty to is father hurt his career in a few ways. But I think his pops only did what he thought was best, because he didn't want the boxing world messing his son up, which is understandable. However he should've left his pops ala Floyd, which leads me back to my point about his brain.

i still remember clearly the very night when zab fought kotya..i was there. we met tyson and his boys, had pics taken and spoke with other folks.
Zab was deep with 30 plus folks and was groomed to take this and walk out as a near elite fighter on the scene.

Wow the atmosphere was nuts..the 1st round was like witness of Zab doing the job on the Russian/Aussie..Round 2 and its aftermath put a sealed tape on nearly everyones mouths..what a change of scene in a span of fukking 4 mins or so..

i still find it weird watching the fight on Tv/recorded play as the live view was more intended and strikingly hardcore.
