[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Alvarez > All.............

Kid has a bright future.

And, I missed the Martin article, good read I try to catch everything you do so I don't know how I missed it.

Good to see Martin get a mention. I think he was one of the most underrated prospects.

Good work.

one of the most underrated is Jesse Vargas that kid is the future.

[RubenSonny]

Degale is better then all names mentioned

by far the most overrated prospect, what have people seen in him.

No Alvarez, is the most overrated prospect. I just don't see the hype. Degale actually stepped up this year and beat Paul Smith, in just his what 9th pro fight. That is a pretty good step.

This coming year we will get a better understanding of how good he is. Especially if the Groves fight comes off.

They gave it to Saul Alvarez because he's white. What a hype job.

BoxingScene gave it to Miguel Angel Garcia. And, is well deserved IMO.

I assume you meant Groves? Don't see much in him either. Degale still fights like an amateur other than speed, hes got nothing particularly going for him, he slaps and has a simple defence and jab(effective at his current level but if he faces anyone world class it will be easy to figure out). I wish him all the best but he's gotta make a serious change the guy needs to realise this isn't the amateurs. Alvarez is pretty overhyped, if he proves he can take a punch he should have a bright future but i'm not so sure he can prove that.

Right, but he has had only 9 fights. And, the level of comp he has already faced is pretty solid.

I meant Ring Magazine and everybody who overrates him is calling him prospect of the year.

[the mesiah]

besides canelo,cuz he should have been hands down POY, I think Lara,maroquin,benavidez jr would rate higher Than Garcia on my board as far as prospects go.he's top 5-10 but not 1.good analysis regardless Jake.
