[millcitymauler]

Too bad...I was looking forward to Ellerbe holding up Alvarez's WBC Youth Title Belt after Floyd whupped him.

I think this kid is just trying to get his name out there. Good for him.

[phook]

hey this kid aint half bad.. he got potential!

"Of course I would've taken the risk."

Kid's already got more balls than Mayweather and he's only 19! Future champ, right there.

Inflated record??? Just because he has 30 fights ans he´s only 19 does not mean it´s an inflated record. Fighters in Mexico, if they are not in the olymoic team, start pro boxing very young. Some start at 14, 15, 16. Chavez started very young, that´s why he had that record. Boxers in the U.S. sometimes fight once a year, like Mosley; therefore they look fresh when they turn 35 or 40.

Chavez Jr.?

[Mr. Chago]

The man himself has spoken; unbeaten Mexican star Saul Alvarez (30-0, 22KOs) claims that Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya did approach his team to see if they were interested in fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13 in Las Vegas. Alvarez spoke to Mexican writers in response to the numerous reports in the Mexican press that a Mayweather fight was on the table. [Click Here To Read More]

Good job canelo! Dnt let money or promoters push you around, when it comes to your future!! U take ur time and learn paisano, money cnt buy experience! At 19 u r a solid ww...take ur time the sport ain't goin nowhere and u, u are goin to be one of the great ones!!!

[check hook]

You could beleive he's lost "3" times,stick to that.But he's fought nothing but legit ww's.Hell he even has one of the best resumes.50 times is cutting it short.You got to do more then that with cotto.Thats why it was split decision.Not too mention showing heart in front of judges with a blown gash.


who are you a fan of?

Sorry dude....boxfan is right....he lost to Clottey and Pac. He would have lost to Antonio "Plaster of Paris" Margarito also even without him cheating IMO. No disrespect to Cotto, who is a very accomplished fighter.....but in terms of PR boxers @ welter Trinidad is better.......
