yup.

I have said before and my opinion hasn't changed. Alvarez will probably not be able to be the top dog in a weight division, much less a P4P fighter.

He is still young and may well improve a lot.

He definitely has certain things going for him. He's heavy handed, he goes to the body well, he has a decent chin and he's definitely got talent.

I don't think he'll reach the very top, but I think he can do well at 154 against the likes of Cotto, Kirkland, Angulo, Chavez Jr etc.

Probably not ready for Cotto yet, but another 18 months and he will likely be getting there.

Look at Khan a few years ago. Everyone thought he was a joke and was dodging Jon Thaxton who would destroy him. Seems a bit silly that many people said that now.

Alvarez in another couple years will be hard to beat imo.
