    Are you buying the Saul Alvarez hype?

    I need to see him tested against better fighters I know but I am wondering if he is just a hype job or the real deal. I must say though his KO of Iron jawed Baldomir was very impressive.

      i think he needs a few more fights before he gets thrown in with any serious threat, from wat i've seen he starts his fights kind of slow, and in the 1st round of the cotto fight he allowed the smaller mans pressure to push him back in a str8 line, if i were trainin him nd i knew he was a slow starter i'd work on makin his jab strong so it could be a key weapon early and add some movement so that he doesn't find his back so close to the ropes, in closing i believe he has all the weapons to live up to the hype he's a pretty strong guy, he just needs some minor work b4 i consider his set of skills world class

            No, they're blinded by his white-ness.

              I see the hype, its hard not too, dude has a shoe in Mexico, he will be good, but their are other fighters out there that can beat him, hes like Margarito, beatable.

                  he's looked rather incredible for his age

                  not to mention he fights five times or more a year
                  couple that experience to the skill level he's already presenting and you've got a future world champ
