I would be much higher on Saul Alvarez if he was with Top Rank.

    Top Rank really knows how to mold and build a boxer. I dont know how it is going to work with these young Golden Boy fighters.

    He'll go the way of Fernando Vargas.

    Rushed into the spotlight far too soon with unfortunate consequences.

    The kid has been fighting tomato cans so far and his skills are really unrefined, but I don't think Golden Boy sees that. All they see is a new cash cow.

      I hope you are wrong but I fear you are correct. All Golden Boy sees when they look at Saul Alvarez is $$$$. I feel if he is guided correctly he can be special though.

        Well, I hope I'm wrong too, but the reality is that Goldenboy is severely lacking in money making super stars.

        Mayweather is semi-retired so the only reliable money makers in their stable are Khan and Alvarez. They're going to push Alvarez hard to keep up with Top Ranks stable of active money makers like Pac, Cotto, Donaire, JCC Jr., Juanma.

          All he has to do is keep winning. Not even against good opposition

          A belt will increase his stock exponentially, so good call by GBP

            I'd be higher on him if he wasn't a Ginger.
