Golden Boy must be confident that Williams is shot to make this fight. Gotta go with Canelo on this one, maybe a late stoppage.

I realize they will be careful with Alvarez for the meantime, but I don't think any version of Williams could have beaten him either. He doesn't have the power to hurt him, isn't technically near as sound and won't hold up to Canelos shots imo. At present I'm not sure whether this is even any kind of test for the kid, he should be able to punch holes through Williams.

It's a good fight, I like it. Canelo is not.ready for Floyd and this is a good next step for him. As for the PPV, I don't know why they are doing this. That fight will be lucky to draw 150k ppv buys. Unless this card is completely loaded it will not do great numbers.
