Is Saul Alvarez legit or hype

I think he's legit but I have a feeling people are going to be hyping him up more than what he really is soon.

well, hes only 19. if you asked me now if he is a top WW, I would say no.

but considering how young he is and how much promise he shows IF he continues improving...I think hes someone to keep an eye out for.

He has legit opposition and disposes of it like it was nothing so far...

He's a legit prospect and he keeps improving but I'm afraid they may be rushing him. his team wants him to fight for a world title next year.

To me he looks like a very good prospect to keep an eye on.

he called out JCCjr at the end of his fight saturday

here is a good article on his fight last saturday:

i think hes definately very strong at his weight, punches well in combo from distance, has an effective jab,a nd a high pace fight tempo...

he gets KOs after KOs and all his fights are VERY entertaining...

looks all good to me so far

He seems to be an excellent prospect, definitely someone to keep an eye on.
