    Was Kell destroying Euro/Brit champions when he was 20 years old?

    I honestly see Canelo bullying him...... I feel Brook is more skilled but Canelo's tougher, bigger, more powerful and more proven despite being far younger. Canelo by TKO/clear ud

    Vazquez is doing pretty good and he is undefeated since he lost to Canelo isn't it??? It's very underrated win on his resume

    You make a valid point BUT some fighter mature faster and reach a certain celling like Vargas for example

    brook beat Hatton at his weight class....... for alvarez, he had to go up one, so the brook schooling is more legit in a way.

    Being British I hope Kell and Amir do not fight eachother just yet. I think that both fighters are very talented and I couldnt pick a winner at 147lbs. If I had to pick I'd go for Khan simply cos of who he has fought compared to Brook and Kell has not faced anyone with such speed, having said that Khan has not faced anyone as slick as Brook is

    **** it I wanna see it Now!!!!!!!!!

    lets not forget hatton was not at his natural weight against saul...

    On witnessing both fights i would have to say hatton walked away with a lot more credibility after the Alverez fight. As mentioned it was not at his natural weight and imo whilst Saul dominated him hatton didn't find it hard to get off like he did against kel.

    For me Brook did hurt hatton more forcing hatton into complete survival mode for the last few rounds.

    In a nutshell both beat him easily but kel had an easy time of it imo. Hatton knows this.

    Two wins.

    I wouldn't say underrated so much as forgotten/not known about.

    Their first meeting was Miguel's debut; Saul was 2-0 (and only fifteen years old, and won by split decision over four rounds).

    Then they met two years later and Alvarez again beat him, this time by unanimous decision over 10. I don't think it was even televised.

    To give some perspective on how far back along Canelo's path it was, he was on the UNDERCARD of one of his brother Rigoberto's fights in Mexico. :yep
