Has there been another prospect as popular and talked about as Verdejo is?

[Scipio2009]

I'm not talking about "hyped". I'm talking about popularity. Not one person knew who Berto was when he was at Verdejo's stage of his career.

3,500 people, in New York City, came out to see the card featuring the supposed next Puerto Rican star on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day parade.

Top Rank media shill aside, how popular does that make him really?

Right, and that was to combat the exaggerated hype people were giving him. And I quickly edited the post because I meant lightweight, typos happen you know?

I'm a nationalistic nutjob like you who kneels down before any fighter that shares the same nationality as me.

So you admit to being a nationalistic nutjob, good to know. I am not I just like boxing.

A typo from numbers to letters?

LOL, what a ******.

I'm a little puta who stuffs my face with Goya beans on a daily basis.

See, I can edit posts too.

Canelo was on the televised undercard portion in his 18th fight?

he was like 17yo then, and still was already big in mexico, as soon as oscar brought him to the us the kid became a huge attraction here...

Zhou Shiming.

Anthony Joshua is getting much higher praise at the same stage. He's already hailed as the future of the HW division.

I didn't know what he even looked like, I had to google image him right now. In what world is he talked about a lot? Maybe he is popular in a certain town or something. I have seen his name mentioned but never seen him fight. He does look like a big, tall LW though. He could probably fight as high as 154lbs one day.

I mistook this forum for real life.

Believe it or not he's talked a lot around these parts.

Verdejo is really popular, he even got prospect of the year in 2014, he is headlining at HBO, he will grow a bigger fan base in a couple more fights.
