Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez-Luciano Cuello Early Results From Mexico

Huh? The Saul fight hasn't even started yet...the video you must have watched was from last year.

whoops, ... I was wondering why the dude he fought didn't look like the same guy Chavez fought last year. I stand very corrected... though I'm still not sold on the kid, at least to the degree in which he's being hyped

The same could be said for Chavez until recently.

Maybe they will start to push Canelo a little harder now.

I like that they're taking their time with him though.

The big difference is that Chavez Jr was and still is viewed as a sideshow since day one, whereas Alvarez is being sold as the second coming

I'm a big Canelo fan but dude is over hyped. Guys like Mares and Montiel should get more props than that guy to be honest.

I think Ricardo Lopez's son named Alfonzo is a better prospect than Alvarez is.

You should watch Finito's son fight. I know you are an insider to all these upcoming fighters. What you think of Alfonzo Finito Lopez? I think he could be a future world champ like Vasquez Jr.

the difference is Alvarez is still 19 years old, and I see improvements in him every fight. no really, think about it: 19 years old! he has so much time still to progress, and yet already is looking better than most mid 20 year old prospects.

I certainly have more hope in a prospect like Alvarez than a 'prospect' like Guillermo Rigondeux, who is already 28 or something years old. hell, Alvarez has looked better against tougher competition than Rigondeux vs some bums already.

I've seen Finitito before, I think a couple of times on either FSE or Telefutura. Kid looks good, especially for a newcomer. Long way to go before it can be determined where his career goes but yeah, for now he's certainly more WV2 than JCC Jr.
