I believe this will be one of the bloodiest battles of both careers though and would certainly be a very closely fought affair.

Saul just could not deal with the superior timing and counter punching of Floyd. But Pac's "puzzle" is not so difficult to solve.

Alvarez is the future of boxing within the scope of his natural weight range.

It's your opinion, obviously, and it's to be respected. However, regarding the bolded part...

Saying Canelo couldn't deal with Floyd's timing and counter punching is a humongous understatement. The gap between the two was immense. You'd have to go back to, well..... to Marquez, to find an easier fight for Floyd. Given the buildup to the fight, this was extremely disappointing. So IMO, using Canelo's performance against Floyd as some kind of metering stick to predict his performance against Pac, is flawed.

You mention Canelo's chin. Who has really tagged Canelo with bad intentions? An over-the-hill Mosley? An undersized Josesito? The chess-playing Floyd? No one. I'd say Canelo's chin is largely untested.
