    Chavez Jr. and Alvarez are the ones who get most media exposure, cuz Chavez Jr. gets TV Azteca pushing and Televisa is trying to make Alvarez a superstar, but most Mexican boxing fans consider both boxers overhyped and won't believe they're that good 'till they prove it with better boxers... so they might be popular and very widely known by the average Mexican, but they aren't that well supported among the boxing fans in Mexico.

    I don't know man...I just got back from Sonora and Baja, and the consensus was that Alvarez is something special, and as much love as they give JCC jr. I saw them have more admiration for Saul.

    The way you talk, I'm not even sure you're Mexican, because Mexico is flying big on these youngsters.

    Sauls just lucky he isnt going to be fighting Chavez Jr anytime soon, because Jr would show him who mexicos number one young fighter is :deal

    Ya I said it :D



    Seriously though, Sauls young, and has plenty of time to build his name, I really dont see the big deal.

    That 130,000+ Mexicans couldnt afford tickets, which he was proven wrong when 132,000+ Mexicans showed up and watched Chavez beat seven shades of **** out of Haugen.

    It was rhetorical question.

    :D:thumbsup Gotcha.

    And that was in Estadio Azteca, which is where i would like the Canelo-Chavez jr fight to take place if it ever does.

    Hey Kirk...You still hate JCC jr...or did you have a change of heart? Or do you dislike Canelo more?

    On a side note anyone notice Canelo's choice of ring walk music???
    I know it's prob just a coincidence & don't mean much to most...

    But "México Lindo y Querido" has/Was always been JCC Sr's ring walk music & Also Jr's current intro.

    So what IF possibly only I noticed that... (Wanna fight 'bout it)

    Because he fought an unranked m.Hutton for the title when he should have faced a couple of guys in the Jnr Mdl wgt division. Oscar and Suliman are trying hard to make this guy a superstar, just like his bro Rigoberto in the WBA.

    It was a **** fight. 7000 is still a lot of people. He's young and has plenty of time to build a van base as long as he keeps winning.

    The crowd definitely wasn't as loud as you would expect for a Canelo fight in Mexico so these numbers don't really surprise me. Maybe Chavez jr might have stole his thunder.

    So what you're saying is, Oscar is doing his job as Saul's promoter??:think

    What has this world come down too?
