Well alvarez does have wins over Lara, trout, cotto and kirkland all within recent memory, that is pretty high level of competition. Cotto is past his best but I would think he could still beat a lot of top contenders at the new weird 155 weight class :S, in my opinion Trout and lara are two very good boxers and errr Kirkland is Kirkland I guess he's nothing special but it's still a nice win... I am certainly no boxing expert and I don't really give much thought to p4p lists but I would say alvarez and his run of opponents puts him in the discussion for a top ten place.....

I concur about Gonazalezs last performance, I like him and think he is really great but after watching that fight and hearing he is moving up in weight fairly soon, I think a defeat is near for him, he will not make it to 50-0. It looked to me like his offence is based around being able to overwhelm the opponent, and I would think once he moves up the missed power shots and shots he takes will add up on him more and he will struggle and eventually lose..

so errr in conclusion i really have no idea what i am talking about, i completely the forgot the point of the post .
