I dont see whats so great about Saul Alvarez

[Ring Leader]

Like he is a good fighter but I still remember seeing Jose Cotto tagging him good at one point. I was hopeing he was going to stop him lol.


Good fighter nonetheless. I still think Cotto destroys him

[ablindwatchmakr]

Cotto little brother -a blown up LW- chin checked him. Had him hurt. But, Alvarez did good in facing that adversity.

I remember that now, I think it was on a PPV undercard. Yea he did have him hurt. Do fighters increase their ability to take a punch with age? I'm wondering if he will become more durable as he gets older.if not, there is no way he can make it to the top if his chin isn't there because his defense isn't good enough.

I was watching the Ryan Rhodes fight last night and I dont get it. Whats the hype on this kid? He's not the quickest guy in the world his power is a lil overrated. Is it just me?

its all hype thats it, like for example, a couple years ago when paul williams was gonna be the future p4p king and the second coming of sugar ray robinson. its all hype at the end of the day.

[Evil Abed]

Maybe, but I have to see him against someone with speed or power. To see how he handles that.

I remember he wanted to avenge his brother loss and fight Austin Trout. GBP did a good thing not to match up in that fight IMO. I think Trout not as a popular as Alvarez but would beat Alvarez quite handily.

After Gomez he should fight the winner of Wolak-K9. Two belts unified.

Than he can fight the winner of the Angulo-Vanes.

Hes a well rounded fighter with charisma what exactly is their to dislike?

aka - he's mexican.

True, but at least P-Will beat Cotto's daddy. Alvarez hasn't had a win like that yet.

Getting stunned in a boxing match is pretty common thing. It's funny how you wanna criticize the kid by bringing up a fight he completely dominated. he got hit with a punch he didn't see coming big ***ing deal.

If he can win those, then I will be in the bandwagon.

Canelo has taken punches from bigger punchers than Jose.

Tyner, Rhodes, Michel Rosales.

All hit harder.

I think Jose just surprised Canelo like he surprised Malinaggi.

WTF is wrong with you?

A poster asked "I want to see his chin checked" I gave him an example of his chin being checked. Did Cotto not check his chin?

It was no criticism. Then I said he did a "good job in facing that adversity"

So WTF is your issue?
