Canelo is no superstar inside the ring, no matter what his fanbase is outside it. He looks well below the level of even a Chavez Jr to me.

My feeling is that it will be a very competitive 12 round fight with Alvarez winning a disputed decision, much like Alexanders win over Kotelnik.

But at this stage in Alvarez's career its a tough matchup for the kid.
I'm a fan of Rhodes and think he can really pull it out but can't help think Alvarez will just swing for the fences, I mean hatton had faster feet than Rhodes!!!
Although I don't rate Alvarez boxing ability he has power to make boxing skill irrelevant
