Saul Alvarez is not special. Boxing back to dark ages.

the level and type of praise he is getting now does not match his achievements. admit it, he is more of an icon. an icon that has not proven anything. and that's how it always goes. why are you shocked or mad or whatever? you can't join in on the fun so you just try to paint yourself as rational and bring it all down a notch

He's doing better than all the other redhead mexicans from guadalajara that dropped out of school at 15, and I bet they aren't all readheads but I bet there is a lot

Hes just exciting,Thats why they love him.Like how fans loved arturo gatti and ward.They werent the best,But always gave a show. I agree with this and also gatti and ward never possesed the power and size that this kid has so that makes for him to be potentially even more exciting than those guys.

Look man, the kid is 20. when you're 20, ****. all i have to say

i cant figure out what the hype is all about for this dude. is Mexico becoming desparate in following some1 they can be proud of? Don't take this the wrong way. Just curious why this kid is being praised like an american idol contestant. What hype are you talking about exactly because nobody said he's a PFP fighter or a World Class fighter so what Hype are you talking about exactly? Unless you are talking about his popularity? Which is irrelevent to the conversation?

That's because you perceive him as an entertainer. You don't think he's working in the gym, you think he's at work when you see him in the fight. it went over your head you idiot

I agree that he is exciting. Never backs down. What are the realistic expectations for him? I see him having a gatti or cotto type of career.
