Saul Alvarez?

I like Alvarez and have watched many of his fights but it hard to tell how high to rank him based on the guys he's been fighting. I'd like to see him move up in competition before taking a big jump against one of the top guys.

let's just see how he deals with Valero! Valero?? Isn;t this kid a welterweight?

let's just see how he deals with Valero!

yep, he's definitely got the Cotto vibe to him. big time jab and left hook to the body and he's clever. I was just watchin the highlights from his last fight, threw two feints with the left and one with the right and set the boy up for a perfect left uppercut. He's the goods yep, even though he doesnt use the jab a whole lot, he knows how to set up punches with subtle body movements. thats a very advanced skill right there. like when he was going for the kill, he'd approach his opponent and once he got into range he'd feint, look for a counter, then take a half step back to fill the hole. very patient and intelligent kid saul is.

i agree with this one. jones is more technically sound, better defense, better physical attributes. he also has the faster hands. saul's punches arent that fast, he just has impeccable timing and very good accuracy. similar to cotto in that aspect. i guess alvarez could fold jones with a body shot though, but he'd have to get there first. yep, he's definitely got the Cotto vibe to him. big time jab and left hook to the body and he's clever.

haha you trippin, he ain't more technically sound than Jones. Jones is faster than him too, and he's stronger. Thats a total mismatch physically and skillwise. Jones is comin for you boy PWillies spot! i agree with this one. jones is more technically sound, better defense, better physical attributes. he also has the faster hands. saul's punches arent that fast, he just has impeccable timing and very good accuracy. similar to cotto in that aspect. i guess alvarez could fold jones with a body shot though, but he'd have to get there first.

Jones is comin for you boy PWillies spot! Jones is a good prospect. Hes not on Alvarez's level IMO. Hes no Paul Williams either...lol. Jones is good we'll see what they trun into.

Alvarez gives him the business right now. Hes more skilled and more techically sound then Jones. Faster and hits harder. haha you trippin, he ain't more technically sound than Jones.

fukk this hype job! lemme know when he beats someone good you wont like him unless he's cutting your grass huh you racist bastard guy :)

mike jones vs saul alvarez right now, who you got?

yep duke is the business, for my money he's a top 10 WW...just time to start taking fights like one. Kinda reminds me of a young Cotto

Kell Brook would spark him out. i like both fighters but i think saul is better than brook at this moment. even though saul is younger, he's more advanced than kell is. brook looks a bit too easy to hit. he needs more seasoning and a better trainer.

I watched his last fight and he impressed me, against a nobody. My uncle is a boxing fanatic and hes excited about the kid. I just wanna see what you guys think about him, any thoughts? fukk this hype job! lemme know when he beats someone good

This kid has the goods. He can get tagged sometimes but hes 19 so defensive lapses are expected. He has good footwork, good speed, a good jab and GREAT power. In both hands. He has a dangerous right hand that he throws like how Floyd used to throw at 130. His left hook is nasty and shoots it from a distance like a jab/uppercut. Hes accurate and hes always composed and doesnt panic in the ring. Hes pretty damn good for 19 years old. Hes very skilled and doesnt brawl like the typical Mexican Warrior. Hes the real deal. Mexico should be proud they have a future World Champion on there hands. i loved the final knockdown where he set it up wit the two jabs. I know what your talkin about, it looks like a lazy left hook, like it wouldnt have muhc power. I dont know how he gets good power behind that but i liked it

el canelo is cool, he recently got signed to golden boy he has a heavy buzz in mexico!
