Alvarez vs Chavez Jr

[Mars_ax]

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.

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

[Prosinecki]

Ryan Rhodes is a baldy too.

Just saying, the knock on Chavez Jr. is he really hasn't faced any top dogs, Canelo would be his toughest fight to date, and visa versa.
This could be a crossroads fight for both pugs, the winner might go on to great things, the loser, depending on how bad they lost would have to claw their way back into contention. If it's an action packed fight, we also might see a rematch or 2. Nice match-up, I look forward to seeing it.

Sounds like this could be a competitive fight with some excitement as both are at the stage where they could beat one another. I will go with Alvarez.
