Are you thinking of his brother Sean Alvarez?

wasn't mayweather going to fight this guy, in mexico?

remember before all the drugs testing pallarva, mayweather was considering fighting a mexican teenager in mexico or matthew hatton over here?

I think that was only a ploy by Golden Boy to raise Alvarez's profile in the States. They would never stick a 19 year old hot prospect in with Mayweather.

Teenager Saul Alvarez Nearing Main Event Status

Apparently he's already quite popular in Mexico. I've been keeping an eye on his record for a while now, but not watched a full fight yet.

don't know if he was with golden boy back then.

alvarez (if it is the guy) is apparently massively popular in mexico.

it's strange that mayweather was considering novelty fights incl matthew hatton, for easy money. especially with him being some kind of PPV god at the moment, with some optimists expecting his next fight to do 4m buys.

i suppose he must have had some uncertainty prior to the marquez fight.

I like this guy - I like the novelty value. HE must have suffered in the MExico heat!

Boxing-wise he looks a little easy to hit; but fights in that classic MExican deadpan way....

That is just spooky. He looks nothing like a Mexican and the first time I ever saw him, I thought he was Irish.......

He looks a little like Nick Quigley

His origins are from the Basque areas of Spain, which isn't surprising when you look at him because a lot of Irish people have ancestors from the same area.

Seems like a good fighter, not ready for the top guys at the moment but he's young and still has time to develop.
A nice exciting fighter though and he can really punch. Very popular in Mexico, considering his age however you'd expect him to fill out and I'm guessing it won't be too long before he's at 154.

Thats a myth

The first or the 2nd bit, because the 2nd bit is a fact not a myth. The first bit is just something I've seen on other forums several times but could be wrong. However genetically the red hair has got to be linked to something, and it's going to be somewhere in Europe.

on the Island of Corfu i believe it is legal to spit in the face of people with ginger hair.

my sister considered moving there for that reason.

Im in ireland right now and i dont even know a red headed person that i could name of the top of my head or know by name...
Not as common as one would think.......

Donegal, most popular hair colours are dirty blonde, brown and black.

I had one english chap named shaun in my year in school who had red hair very bright kid. Id also make a bet there is more red heads in the england and scotland than the whole of ireland.

Wouldn't be anything to do with a lot of English people having an Irish bloodline though would it ! Down here, there are bucket loads of gingers, must be something in the air.

Maybe your right... I was just trying to bust a myth. Where im from most common colours are dirty blonde, brown ,black and
least common is the the red head, just my 2 cents.

It's definitely not the most common colour hair around but they are a few of them. Never thought I would have a conversation about gingers on Boxrec.

I wish saul alvarez was irish by the way.

ginger hair and freckles.

probably eats hunky dorys and reads joyce, too!

must be irish.

Gingers are everywhere in the world...they can be seen in any country amongst any ethnicity

Hunky Dorys? Nah. Has to be Tayto's to be a true Irishman
