lol at the ******ed haters, alvarez is just 22 yo and already won against mosley(ok, he is old but he is smart and still a pretty difficult opponent) and cintron. for example - what was your all-greatest mayweather doing when he was 22? exactly, fighting some bums with the record 0-4,ahahaha. and dont forget - castillo whooped his ass in the 1 fight. So, stop hating.
Mayweather was beating the best super-featherweight in the world at 21, in his 18th professional fight.
hes the ****ING WBC CHAMP. if you dont want to defend and HONOR the belt give it to someone that will. wtf does 22 years of age have to do with anything? defend that belt against a ranked jmw or give it up, pendejo. mosely was begging naz to stop the fight against paq at 147 and thats when your 154 lb hero decided that he had the balls to fight him.
Benitez beat the best 140 pounder at age 17. Tyson unified at 21/22 fighting all the fighters he could at the time. List goes on. Time proves greats/very good fighters tested themselves to become solid fighters. It remains to be seen what Alvarez looks like once tested. Age excuse is weak. Belts have no honor nowadays. Why Alvarez can beat Hatton to be a "champion". LOL at people claiming a blown up Mosley who already was faded against Pacquiao and Mayweather at 147 being a "solid win". Not helping the guys weak resume I keep tellin people watch and prove me wrong but he won't be what he's made out to be.
Mayweather beat him in '98 in a 10-rounder. And 4 months later, he beats Genaro Hernandez by KO 8 to become the WBC champion.
Wasn't comparing him to Alvarez. Guy said Mayweather was fighting bums at 22, and that's what I addressed.
