For two years straight Amir Khan was crapped on because of the Presscott loss, for fighting malinaggi, for ducking maidana, etc, etc. Now that he's proved the majority of knownothings on this message board wrong the knownothings have found a new target. Saul Alvarez! Just like Khan they want him to fight all the top fighters but nevermind none of the top fighters in his division are fighting each other but he's the one who gets shhiitt on. They overexaggerate alvarez getting stunned for 10 seconds and now he has no chin. They say he has no real skills just like they said about Khan even though you have every actual boxing expert saying otherwise. They hate his popularity and they name drop obscure fighters that have done even less than he has.

It's silly but just being witness to this has made me an ever bigger fan of Alvarez (it also made me a fan of Amir Khan) and you know what I hope more than anything that just like Khan he makes you all look ******. But im sure even if he does you will come up with another knownothing excuse to hate on him just like people have done with Khan.

WAR NELO!!!!!!!!!

The difference is, with Khan, even people who dont like him (myself included) all admit he has tons of skill. People just crapped on his weak chin. But his talent cant be denied. With Saul...well...the talent is debatable...the terrible comp cant be. The spoon fed "belt" cant be...the total lack of defense cant be...IMO (feel free to quote me) I think Saul will be lucky to be the next Gatti. An action fighter who has some fun wars. But he will never be a top level guy. Yeah he is young, but he has a buttload of fights already, and has been pro for 5 years. He isnt going to change much.

If Canelo sorts his defence out, i'll hop on the Cinnamon express.

people just dont think he is as good as advertised. thats not to say isnt good but some people argue that he is great. ok, he is only 20 and im not saying he has to fight the very best outthere but being that te hype is so big, he is gonna have to thrown into the fire real soon. they cant keep him fighting lames til he is 23-24 yrs old.

Paulie >>>>>>all of Canelo's opponents combined

Yes they can lol Berto does it.

Yeah, except Ricky Hatton's little brother blown up =/= Maidana, or even Malginaggi. He didn't look all that impressive tbh, didn't see anything that says he's anything but a better version of Chavez Jr with the same overprotection.
