    Pac is an ATG, whereas Saul is just an up and comer who
    hasnt defeated a big name yet, he looks to fight with heart
    and have some power, but to even mention him in the same sentence
    as Pac is kinda silly IMO.

    I would like to know why you think Alvarez would win in a couple of years?

    Anyway, to answer, Alverez has no notable names on his resume while Pacquiao has destroyed the best 140 fighter of the last 5 years, another great fighter at Welterweight, and a good big Welterweight. Not to mention Alvarez was rocked by Jose Cotto...I fancy Pacquiao.

    Pac eats up fighters like Alvarez like they're nothing. Alvarez doesn't have the athletic talent or skill to ever change that

    Saul didn't look great at all in his last fight. He's really young so who knows where he'll end up, but right now he's pretty crap

    Alvarez is green as ****... check back in 2/4 years when Saul is on top.
    Until then, this fight is a disrespect to Manny.

    Up and coming fighters fight three times the most. Don't you think he'll be ready for Pac after 6 fights? Let the Saul nuthugging express start......

    Way too early to tell whether or not Alvarez has what it takes to hang with Pac, now or in two years time.
