I dont see whats so great about Saul Alvarez

[pistol whip]

aka - he's mexican.

you don't even try to hide it, do you?

lol

Ugh no it's pretty obvious to anyone with eyes ears and a brain that hes a well rounded fighter.

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?

he is probably the best boxer for his age at the moment in the world, is that good enough for you. He has skills and potential to become a mexican legend

[ablindwatchmakr]

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.

But he hasn't really faced any true punchers yet has he? I need to see that. I want to see him in there with someone where he is forced to be cautious and use his boxing skills, not someone where he can just walk in like he is invincible.

The kid is young and can fight. He's one of the most interesting young fighters out there. I don't think he's overrated, I mean nobody is saying he's the best in the world or anything. The one thing I don't like about him is that he's kinda slow.

of course he is. that's blatant.

it's just your man love sounds like some cotto fans man love.

He has tremendous technique and poise for a 20 year old, when you have those fundamentals you can go very far, they can add to the conditioning, and skill set as he develops. I also thinks he is very fast...plenty fast enough and he has great timing and anticipation, that last quality fighters are born with.

He has all the shots just needs to learn when to use them, how to pace himself in fights etc.

I know his haters don't like to hear how young he is but canelo really is scary good for his age

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?

But you threw in that "career lightweight" part as a compliment.

[baya]

But you threw in that "career lightweight" part as a compliment.

and it made you feel bad and so you lashed out at the man, because he dissed your favorite fighter. so tell me, when did this crush being?

[jrosales13]

But you threw in that "career lightweight" part as a compliment.

Yes I said blown up Lightweight...And?

Is that not true?

What in the post from Jose Miguel being Miguel young brother, to being a blown up LW, to chin checking Canelo, to Alvarez doing a good job in facing that adversity was not true?

[Evil Abed]

But he hasn't really faced any true punchers yet has he? I need to see that. I want to see him in there with someone where he is forced to be cautious and use his boxing skills, not someone where he can just walk in like he is invincible.

Not a lot of those guys around.

I guess Angulo is that guy.

Vanes sort of.

Lara has alright power I guess.

For me the high skill guys are the challenge

Vanes, Trout, Lara, Molina ,Dzinziruk

These guys are the next step.

Molina is a great next fight. One-up Cintron and Lara.
