    I agree, he's one of boxing's best prospects.

    Maybe Ross Greenburg doesn't like him for some reason?

          How the hell is he Mexican?

          He looks Irish or some ****, nice record, though. I just learned about him, too. It's probably good that he's not getting hyped up too much, though.

            I know why you don't like him. Same reason as Ross Greenburg, right?

                Alvarez is 18 years old. It would be a case of too much too soon.

                We just saw it with Victor Ortiz.

                    true, but he should get mentioned on occasion.
