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.
Hatton managed to go 12 cuz he did like his brother and held and clinched every time Alvarez opened up. N'dou has never been stopped in his whole career. So no shame in Alvarez not stopping him. Rhodes I think is the biggest fighter Alvarez has faced. And he fights nothing like Hatton. I'm expecting him to take the fight to Alvarez and get butchered in the process
