BENAVIDEZ yall dont know....future HOF

like i said its real early, but he got the making of hitting it big, i liked what i saw for a such a young age.

[budfr]

Saul Alvarez has ontriguing looks cause he´s red-haired?? That´s ******. Many Mexicans and other Latinos are blond. In that case, Calzaghe had intriguing looks cause he wasn´t a typical blond, blue-eyed, Brit.

lookin forward to seeing alvarez develope. i wonder how long he can stay at welter. he looks huge for the weight IMO.

he is kinda thick n short for a welter 5'8" and that's being generous. He was supposed to fight Roberto Garcia but Canelo's team turned da fight down. let's see who he fights next

[Tomasio]

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez-->All hype, most of his 30 or 40 something opponents(his record says he has 33 fights but he claims there's more) are tomato cans & the only 1 that's not(& its the only name that really sticks out in his record)is José Cotto(Miguel's older brother) But when Alvarez faced Cotto it was at a jr middleweight & Cotto is naturally a Lightweight & at most a jr welter, in other words Cotto was fighting 3 weight classes above his natural weight & in the 1st round Cotto almost KO'd Alvarez & in the 9th the fight was stopped prematurely..After that fight Alvarez was heavily criticized by his own Mexican people(on Spanish boxing website notifight.com) They claim he's overrated & that he's been hyped up by Mexican T.V channel Televisa which is the channel that has shown all of Alvarez fights...

[Heeb]

My boy Omar didn't make the list?

[Jim Jeffries]

Top Rank/Duncan?

Gotcha. Yeah Korobov is still fighting cans, where Golovkin is almost ready for a title shot (and is the better fighter IMO and right now a top 10 fighter in the division.)

you hit the nail right on the head. If a 135 pounder stunded canelo what would a real welter do ? This is why canelo's team turned down the fight with roberto garcia, he is a strong power puncher with a granite chin and is listed at 5'10". If margarchito couldn't hurt him i doubt that canelo would. If garcia hits him like cotto did canelo will be taking a siesta!

[ShoulderRoll]

There are lots of deserving guys who didn't make the list. I agree with the posters who have mentioned Jose Benavidez and David Lemieux.

They deserve the mention more than Quadtrine Hill.

[Check]

Not a good list at all. Not a prospect expert but just simply on American fighters there are more deserving than Hill and I wouldn't really say Wilder is one of the top guys either. Also, Danny Jacobs is no longer a prospect. He is just another boxer that is in with soft competition and has poor management, not a prospect.

Ex college football player Hill is a savior?? Come on now..
