Alvarez vs Chavez Jr

[Mars_ax]

I'd love to see this fight, it would be huge in Mexico and a big draw in the U.S., but if Arum is running the show, it will likely be a PPV.
As for the fight (if it actually happens in March), it's anyone's guess who wins, but I hope it's Alvarez.

Call me crazy but I actually think Chavez Jr is a lot better than many guys think and will not only win this, but knock Alvarez out.

I got Chavez Jr by stoppage around the 10th round.

That's very possible Bilbo, a lot of us however, would like to Canelo win, by KO would be even sweeter.

For me Canelo get hits too easily and too often. So far he hasn't fought any punchers but moving up to light middle he will be in with somebody bigger than himself.

I'm not sold on Canelo's power or skills yet. I can't shake off the memory of Matthew Hatton coasting the 12 rounds with him. Gomez was schooling him until the premature stoppage. He can improve, he's only young so foolish to judge him as if he's the finished article, but I've been impressed with Chavez lately. He's maturing into a decent fighter and in his last fight showed he has real heart and a desire to win.

This would be a great clash, and boxing heaven for those who like body punches. They will both have sore ribs the next day for sure.

I see these 2 young pugs as evenly matched, and Jr's competition hasn't been any better than what Alvarez has faced, in fact Canelo has been in more title fights. I believe this fight may come down to who wants it most, like many fights do.

Yep pretty much.

It's kind of stretching it to say he's been in more title fights though. I mean he's never fought a world champ, at least Chavez beat a champion to get his title. Well sort of if you count an interim champ as better than a vacant belt.

[Kev]

Actually scratch that he did beat Baldy. You're probably right.

Alvarez is lazy in fights. He seems to want to win without breaking a sweat. He usualy comes to life for a few seconds when he gets hit too much. I have a feeling that if Chavez puts him in a position hes never been in, you will see a very deadly Alvarez. Thats just an assumption though. To me he looks like that sort of person.

I think your right I remember first seeing Alvarez hurt by Jose Cotto in the 1st round last year and it seemed to wake him up. This is why Chavez will struggle his instincts will lead him to believe that he can dominate in his own weight division but the more he puts on Alvarez the better he will get. He also showed against Rhodes he can fight on the backfoot and is far from one dimensional, unlike Chavez he has continued to test himself and his rate of improvement is greater. Chavez is no bum but "Canelo" has the potential to become HOF great.

You're crazy.

Major miscalculation on Team Chavez's part. Probably banking on some of Canelo's recent lackluster performances. But punching power, combined with Junior's largely untested chin and heart, could factor into a big surprise.

Personally, I'd be whooping and hollering in favor of Canelo, hoping for a devastating KTFO.

[Mr140]

Eh i hope Chavez gets the win he gets shit on a lot but he should alot in his last fight and a win over the ginger would do wonders. I hope they make the fight we can see what the guys are made of in it.
