Alvarado in the Shadow of Ortiz.

[Evil Abed]

They both seemed to be on the same career course (Despite the age) at the point when Mike beat Clottey.

They are the same height with the same reach.

They both have virtually the same KO ratio at 140.

Mike got in trouble and loss time.

Can Mike achieve the things Ortiz achieved? Minus the Maidana beating.

Mike Alvarado is a weird one to judge because he hasn't really been in with any of the top fighter at 140.

How would he get on against Peterson,Maidana,Lucas,Judah Alexander? ect.

No top fighters yet.

But a bunch of solid ones.

Carlos Molina, Michael Clark, Jesús Rodríguez, Michel Rosales, César Bazán, Emmanuel Clottey, and Juaquin Gallardo.

I want to see him fight a fellow ****er like Lucas or fight Holt.

Theophane is another decent fight.

Mike Alvarado W10 Gabriel Martinez
Junior welterweight
Scores: 100-89, 100-90, 99-90
Records: Alvarado, 31-0, 22 KOs; Martinez, 27-3-1, 14 KOs

Rafael's remark: Alvarado's career has seen its share of stops and starts because of his multiple stints in jail, but he seems to have gotten his life together and has been able to stay out of trouble recently as his career picks up steam. Top Rank, which has promoted Alvarado for his entire career, thought enough of him to give him a prime slot on the Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley undercard on May 7, when Alvarado made Ray Narh quit after three rounds.

Alvarado, 30, is physically strong and aggressive and makes good TV fights. Although he easily rolled over Martinez, the "Top Rank Live" main event was entertaining because Alvarado just keeps pressing the action. He had to have been motivated by the hometown crowd that turned out to support him at the outdoor Softball Country Arena for his first fight at home in Denver since 2008. Alvarado was simply too much for Martinez, whom he pounded for most of the fight. He was credited with a knockdown in the opening round when Martinez looked like he clearly slipped, but it wasn't a factor, as Alvarado cruised.

Martinez, 24, of Mexico, dropped his second fight in a row, having also lost to Mark Melligen in February. Martinez's only other loss came to future junior middleweight titlist Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who stopped him in the 12th round of a 2008 welterweight bout. Alvarado, meanwhile, is on the verge of a meaningful fight. He fights in one of the hottest divisions in boxing and is ready for a step up in competition. And with his crowd-pleasing style, he belongs on an HBO or Showtime platform against a top contender battling for a shot at a title. It's time.

He's has to be good if a idiot like you dosen't like him.

Thanks for the bump.

Hate to break it to u but mike sucks nothing special and to say he is like ortiz to dam funny ortiz is at another level. Mike is a club fighter at best and the only reason he is still undfeated is because he was in jail.

Thanks for the bump again.

Make sure to use all of your alts.

I want to make sure there all on ignore.

[BoxerDood]

I'd love for him to get a big shot soon, especially now that Top Rank and Golden Boy are willing to work together.

Perhaps he should start with somebody like the McCloskey-Prescott winner.
