[Request] Can someone help with a billboard request for r/boxing?
Hi pic requests!
Yesterday it was announced that lineal middleweight titleholder Canelo Alvarez would not be fighting his mandatory challenger and unified belt holder GGG and had previously forfeited his own title belt to him. This was an unprecedented move as no previous Mexican fighter had surrendered a belt in favor of ducking a tough opponent.
Boxing fans have long suffered as the big names avoid tough battles and we're left waiting several years for the fights we really want (May vs Pact). To voice our displeasure the subreddit is looking to put up a billboard near his training camp in San Diego ahead of his next fight, but need help getting a proper image for it. Here is kind of what I was thinking, but I'm open to any suggestions:
- Use his face from one of his promotional photos, such as this one (He's on the left)
- Put it on a rooster/chicken
- Change the background to be like a [boxing promo poster] (http://photo.boxingscene.com/uploads/canelo-smith.jpg)
- Have the text at the bottom say "CANPOLO ALVAREZ"
I know a full billboard is a big request, so even just a proof of concept image to help start the gofundme page will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for any help in making our goal come true

I just did this because no-one else seemed to have posted anything yet.
Not super proud and it is messy but maybe it will help?

Props for the work. Is there a way I could get a colored version? No biggie if it's too much work for you.
I couldn't get the colors of the cockerel and his head to blend so I cheaped out and did black and white.
No worries then, I appreciate the work you put into this
