Why Doesn't Alvarado Get More Love?

[LoadedWraps]

Maybe I'm asking this because I, like "Mile High" Mike Alvarado, am a proud Coloradan, but I find myself wondering why Mike doesn't seem to get more admiration & respect (and discussion) on boxing boards like this one.

Here's a guy who has ...

1) ... truly shown the heart of a lion repeatedly in the ring.
2) ... participated in legitimate FOTY candidates year after year.
3) ... emerged victorious in all but one of the above-described battles.
4) ... performed very well in his one loss*, gaining much credit for his heart.
5) ... avenged his one loss, not only by trading, but by incorporating skillful boxing to boot (which people said he could never do).

* even the stoppage was disputed by some (not really me, though)

So ...

Doesn't this warrior, Mike Alvarado, deserve more recognition (respect, mention, etc.) by us boxing fans for giving us about all we could ask of him in the ring?

Here is another thread spammer that thinks the troll detector doesn't pick him up...

for what? his biggest win is against someone most here call a "bum", or "punching bag".

If most around here classify Rios as a "bum", the site's boxing IQ is not what I'd hoped.
