Why is Saul Alvarez so hyped up?

['Sugar' Freddi]

Who has this kid beaten? Why do people rate him so high?

[Siggy]

he is talented, skilled and wise beyond his yrs in the ring....all at the age of 19.
hes good and his resume is better than most 19 y/o's.

[D-MiZe]

He's a ginger Mexican, that in it's self deserves all the hype he gets.

Who has this kid beaten? Why do people rate him so high?

This kid has the goods. He can get tagged sometimes but hes 19 so defensive lapses are expected. He has good footwork, good speed, a good jab and GREAT power. In both hands. He has a dangerous right hand that he throws like how Floyd used to throw at 130. His left hook is nasty and shoots it from a distance like a jab/uppercut.

Hes accurate and hes always composed and doesnt panic in the ring. Hes pretty damn good in that department for 19 years old. Hes very skilled and doesnt brawl like the typical Mexican Warrior. Hes the real deal. Mexico should be proud they have a future World Champion on there hands.


Did I mention he was 19? Kid has the goods.
