By Tom Drury: Hype, Hype, and Hype; that is what surrounds WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s). The hype is now over and the time has come to see if Saul Alvarez is as “special” as the boxing world believes. Alvarez in my opinion is not special. However, he is a world class fighter. Nothing in Alvarez’s style or career has made me or many boxing enthusiasts believe he is the guy to dethrone Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s). Josesito Lopez, Austin Trout, Matthew Hatton and Ryan Rhodes are not the kind of opposition that prepare you for a fight against greatness (Mayweather).
