Can Saul Alvarez become the new DLH?

Not a chance in the world. DLH was hugely popular coming out of the olympic. Plus boxing was different then.

 

I think it just may be an African-level fighter this time around :

My first time stepping into the ring I was also confused about how to get in, but I eventually figured it out...in about half a second.

This guy is either really nervous or just plain stupid.

 

it would be great if he knew english..thats always going to be a problem

 

No gold medal

No title after this many fights

Oscar won his first title real fast

Alvarez will be a great I think but he has a way to go b4 he is Oscar level

 

Maybe Cotto level win a belt at two or three weights then get beat and fall out of the top tier

 

He has GBP & the right timing to do great things.
(He has the Oscar machine behind him)

Will he reach DLH's achievements? (Who know's/Prob not... Who will)
But I do guarantee he becomes a PPV smash.

 

:roflatsch
(That sound's like you just shitted on a HOF resume)

 

For starters,the guy has to learn to speak english.

 

Im not shitting on Cotto but I;m not about to call a prospect Oscar De La Hoya 2

Maybe my simplifying of Cotto's career didnt give him enough credit but Alvarez I think will do that as a maximum

Oscar did 6 weights

if Alvarez goes up six he's a heavyweight, now I find that hard to believe alvarez would even win a title at 168

 

:good
probably the first time i agree with freddy
he doesnt need to be DLH...

 

You obviously have not a deep understanding of boxing, its called getting "seasoned" hes got all these fights to get in there with a lot of different styles and skill level boxers so that he can learn how to adjust to any type of fighter.
He will be a great fighter in the near future, and this smart move by his management will play a part in it
Something thats become something of a lost art these days...:nono

 

Based on looks, NO:

:bart Shanna was a dish back in the day.

I wouldn't be overly surprised if he can become bigger than de la Hoya PPV wise if boxing goes through a new golden age. He doesn't have the skills and athletic quality to be as good as de la Hoya I feel. I hope the kid proves me wrong though.

Oscar had a much better crop of fighter to fight in my opinion also. Oscars resume by the time he was 27 was so good its silly.
