Do you guys really think Alvarez is all hype?

[mozzer101]

Never mind the fact that he is promoted by GBP. That has nothing to do with him as a fighter.

[pistol whip]

He reminds me of a young Miguel Cotto. Very well rounded, and lots of power.

[AllEyesOpen]

No I don't. That said, I also don't think he's ready for a title or top notch opponents just yet.

[Sweet Jesus]

I do, but what the hell do I know.

His punching power is "OK", his speed seems to be improving, and his boxing skills are kinda sloppy...No foot work, easy to telegraph his punches, and leaves himself wide open for body shots, and he should be fighting at WW, but he's huge which is why he will have problems with his speed. If he can get a proper nutritionist and work on his feet a little more he'd be great...I like watching him fight, but he's not world class material to be very honest...He's only 20 years old, but needs to go back to the basics...

[tito_bandito]

He's fighting these REALLY OVERHILL ex champs and should be able to finish them in less than 4 rounds if he was world class material...it shows that he's not even contention material yet...just a good prospect...GBP should have given him another year to fight for a world title, because Vanes, Cotto, Pwill, and even Cintron will take him to school!!!...This title shot should have went to El Perro vs Cintron part 2 in Mexico...Politics in boxing make me sick!!!

[Pullcounter]

he's hype until he proves himself... beating matt hatton doesn't cut it.

[Killa Killa]

Hype!!!!


Partially hype...he has skills, but the hype outweighs his skills.....

[KILLA RIGHT]

The so called best prospects are fighting guys that are 5-10 or 4-4...hes fighting descent fighters at 20..hes not hype hes been proving himself ...a guy like hatton at 20 is pretty damn good maybe not for a belt but a good solid fighter

[The Hammer]

He is overrated by some people, but I wouldn't say he is "all hype"
