Should go into acting instead of placing his face and brain in the trajectory of punches. Each blow landed is equivalent to an accident needing imediate repair. Each fight a fighter leaves a bit of his unrecoverable former self behind in that ring.

Alvarez has some very good offensive tools; power, accuracy, and he's a very good combination/body puncher. However, he hasn't fought anyone in his weight class that has posed a legitimate threat or truly put him to the test. His defense has some holes. He can be backed against the ropes fairly easily, and dosn't have all that much head movement. Having 38 fights, it is now time for him to step up. I'd like to see a fight made between him and Angulo. They are both in the early stages of their careers and possess equal punching power. Eventually, I would like to see him fight the winner of the Cotto/Margarito fight, or possibly Berto. If he can do well against any of them, I think a fight between Alvarez and Sergio Martinez would be in order.

Beating someone in the ring proves the following:


1. That he values money and fame more than he values his health and another person's health.

2. That he lacks the intelligence to realize that he can get killed or paralyzed in the ring or kill and paralyze someone else.

3. That he lacks the intellience to know that damage accumulates and that the quality of life he will live in his later years will be drastically reduced because of all those injuries he sustained.

4. And if he claims to be a Chrstian-it proves that he doesn't understand what Christianity is all about.

Why exactly are you contributing to a boxing forum with your preachy nonsense if you have zero interest in the sport?

Showing concern for the boxers' health is having zero interest in the sport? In any case, if indeed I annoy you, why not simply use your ignore option instead of trying to force people from expressing their thread-related views?

You're not expressing concern, you're knocking boxing as a sport. If you come into any given forum, be it boxing, football, sewing etc. and mock that activity, that's called trolling.

How's is your view "thread related"? We are discussing a boxer in terms of his techniques and potential level of success. What you are saying has no relativity to thread whatsoever. If you want to start a thread in regards to your concern for boxers than you may need to take it to a debate forum.
