    Who do you see having more success at the 154 division?

    I think Alvarez has more going for him, not only is he much more experienced, but he's been fighting at a higher level. however the question remains as to whether El Canelo will stick around at light middle for now. he might decide to go back to welter first.

    for now, Saul Alvarez seems to have more going for him and i kind of like Cinnamon.
    Both look to be very good prospects though....

    this guy is very innacurate compared to Canelo but he is quick I give him that. Henry needs experience, at this point hes just a brawler imo would get exposed by any slick boxer.

    Omar Henry....EASY!!! Bigger, Stronger with MORE POWER!!!

    Alvarez just got ROCKED by a fighter (Jose Cotto) that began his career at 122lbs and just fought for a lightweight title 3 fights ago. Henry is 23 and is pretty much settled in at 154bs and could very well move up to middleweight by the time he approaches the "prime Boxer age" of 28-30. Alvarez is only 19 with 33 fights and has already weighed-in OVER 147LBS 10PLUS TIMES. So in actuality, Alvarez has more fights at Jr. Middleweight 10-plus that Omar Henry (9-0).

    And at 19 and already adding "mature-weight" he will eventually fight at 160-168lbs before he reaches 25 years old. And you have to be an EXCEPTIONAL, PHENOMENAL AND EXTRAORDINARY fighter to be a TOP-SHELF, ELITE-LEVEL 168lbs fighter at 5'9. And Alvarez is good but at 5'9 and not possessing "Middleweight Power"...I will choose Henry to have the better career.

    You're a *****.

    Omar is one of the coolest guys in boxing, he loves his fanbase and is always answering and giving feedback...I actually had a conversation with the dude, after his fight, I'm going to interview him about his workout regime and share it with you guys.

    Omar looks like a damn beast....


    I do want to say that although i like Saul a lot, and im sure he will slowly creep into being a favorite fighter of mine, if i seperate my fondness for him as a fighter from my assesment of him as a fighter, i will say im not completely sold right now. Hes got very good basics but he needs to up his defence or he wont last, i realise however he is a youngin' and i give him all the benifet of the doubt in the world, and hope he improves on that, im just saying... he shouldnt be rushed right now, hes got a lot to learn yet.

    Im still serious, that if i was Alvarez's people, id put him in with Cotto again.... the first fight had just the right amount of adversity and learning experience for a young fighter like him, and Sauls got the time, hell with it, put them on another undercard and let them duke it out again, cotto will try to capatilise on a few things, and Saul can study what he did wrong and right in their last fight and put it all together this time.

    just imo

    Omar looks as if he is the goods. From my perspective, all of the Cotto comparisons are sound. He's a bigger, faster, stronger, 2 handed version of Miguel. In a division rich with young talent, his future looks to be the brightest, imho.
