Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez-Luciano Cuello is Done For July 10 in Mexico

[budfr]

This guy has 33 fights and he is still fighting stiffs. He may be popular in Mexico, but he is obviously not very good. Golden Boy will do what his previous promoter (and Ricky Hatton's promoter) did. They will make as much money off of him as they can before they are forced by the public to throw him to the wolves by putting him in the ring with a quality fighter who will expose him as a C-minus level fighter.

Heīs fought some ok fighters, you donīnt know about them because the fights were not aired on US TV. The world is not the US only, idiot. And he didnīt have an amateur background. He just TKoed Cotto, and no ine had been able to before.

Televisa is gonna do something special alright! They are gonna do what they have been doing for a while now, & that's keep on hyping Alvarez up! He lost some credibility when he fought much smaller, way overweight & out of shape José Cotto & Alvarez almost got taken out in 1st & the fight was stopped prematurely to give Alvarez another KO in his record...Televisa have been hyping their fighters up for a while..Televisa gives them a **** load of promo, reality shows & other things & along with "LEECH" Sulaiman they put them in against extremely weak opposition..Other Televisa fighters are Edgar Sosa(all of his defenses were in Mexico against tomato cans that didn't deserve to fight for a title & when he faced a real contender he got KO'd) & Humberto "La Zorrita" Soto(another 1 that Sulaiman gave him a title & has defended against tomato can's & hasn't looked good)

You are the typical Potorro, full of **** , excuses, and anvy towards Mexicans. Cotto trained very hard and got his ass kicked by a 19 year old. Cotto has a good record, weight was not an issue. The fight was not stopped prematurely, Cotto admitted losing. Still mad about Margoīs beating of Cotto???? hahahaha.

I understand he is young and doesn't have an amateur background, but it's just weird to see a guy with a 32-0-1 record being referred to as a prospect.

I thouht DLH said his next fight would be a title shot? lol

wow did DLH say that?

Thats fkn crazy imo.

The kids 19 ffs.... they should give him time for no other reason than, they can.

[LeadUppercut]

Its a good move, at 19 years old he's still a kid. Once he hits 22-25 he'll start to fully develop in both skills and power to his best potential. He needs more fights, slowly increase the difficulty in opponents through each fight, they should not be blow outs, but opponents that slightly give him the edge so he can challenge himself, fix any bad habits, grow his confidence, and actually learn. I wish GBP would've kept him a secret until the time was right, but i guess that's business.

as for JCC jr, John Duddy is his first real test, and is no walk in the park by any means. Have to wait and see because this fight will show what hes made of, thats for sure.

good post bro

Give the kid a break he's only 19yo.

Life is a learning curve, and so is boxing. It takes a lot more than 30 pro fights to prove that you're ready for Manny or Floyd

Let him learn his lessons slowly, the important thing is that he learns them well.

Although, I do partly agree with Njord.....

Saul is at a pivetable point in his career. He's still a very young fighter in terms of age - but he's been fighting as a professional long enough to amass a respectable record and following in Mexico. Now Alvarez is entering that 30+ fights arena where a fighter can usually be expected to have developed some habits or stylistic traits that they'll carry for their career.

Saul is young, but you don't want to keep feeding him opponents that might allow him to develop bad habits or weaknesses in his style. I don't care who they are, if you've fought 35-40 guys, you're going to have some pretty concrete habits evolving.

Saul is young, so give him another 3 or 4 guys, one better than the next, and have him go for title contention within the next two years.

You have to assume that his handlers will bring him along at the right pace, but it is important that he faces challenges so that can develop his confidence and fine tune his game.

I think Saul Alvarez and Yuri Foreman fights and looks the same. They can box well from the outside but both of them are featherfisted. Although Alvarez punch a little harder than Foreman.

I seen this kid fight good boxers have u seen his fights??? I dont know whats with all this trash talk about him I do see he needs some footwork but thatll get in place and now that he hit that age where ur body stop growing he has the time to adjust.

If Berto is cherry-picking opponents hell should fight Canelo same weight class + im sure this kid will give him hell like Cullazo so itll be a good fight!

[FirePunch]

The kid is 19 . 19 don't you guy's get it he's barely a teenager not even old enough to buy a beer . Sure cotto wobbled him but cotto is a full grown man alvarez is a kid . Im 25 years old right now and im way stronger than when i was a puny 19 year old

Let me tell the mass why Canelo didn't look impressive against Cotto, Cotto was a fighter that normally kills himself to shrink down to lightweight and for this fight all he had to do is get himself into fighting shape and not train to get down in weight. He looked good early on but faded rapidly due to his small statue. It was basically 1 of those fights where the little guy gets lucky but gets hurt later on lol.
