PLEASE, PEOPLE! Do not forget Alvarez was in there with Jose Cotto

guys, fighters go down early in their career all the time. Andre Ward went down a against a 6-2-1 guy when he was 21. Pacquiao got KOed by a 11-4-4 guy when he was 18. JMM was knocked down 22-21-2 guy when he was 23 and got a gift over a 12-1 guy when he was 22. Mayweather was cut by his opponent and almost got a draw against a 1-1 guy when he was 21. Hopkins lost against a pro debut guy when he was 23. Sergio Martinez got a draw against a 3-6 guy when he was 23. Wladimir got tkoed by a 24-11-1 guy when he was 22. ...point is, Alvarez is 19 years old. most(actually, all) of the best guys in the sport today werent facing guys the level of Jose Cotto at that age, regardless of the fact that he moved up in weight. and in fact they struggled/were rocked or KOed against weaker competition than Jose Cotto too. as long as he takes his time with his career and continually improves as well, I have fairly high hopes for him. Very good points. And still, Jose was wayy above his fighting weight, old, relatively inactive I think, and just an average fighter, he never was an upper echelon dude. Just a solid guy who did his thing.

There's nothing impressive about the way he fought? You must be blind :dunce:. Oh and getting rocked for the first time in his career and badly I might add but still maintain himself and stay on his feet isn't impressive? Ok buddy. I'm not hyping him up, I know he's not going to be something among the lines of JCC, More like his son LOL but he did show some skills. I agree, I was impressed with him.. if for nothing else.. the fact that he is 19 years old... he will only improve.

yea, and Cotto was a lightweight fighting at 150 pounds too :rofl: that too, i forgot to mention that.

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool :lol1:. Let me guess, your impressed by his so many KOs and unbeaten record of nobodys on his resume? Ill be impressed if he continues with true upper-tier competition.

I think he's going to fail when it comes to elite level fighting and stick to fighting whoever in Mexico for the money. just my take, i saw nothing impressive.
