Alvarez vs Chavez Jr

[Beanz]

Maybe i missed a thread but does anyone see this happening? If so i think Chavez is in for a rude awakening





Bob Arum says that a fight between his popular young Mexican fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Golden Boy's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez could happen in March, as both sides are apparently willing. A 158-pound catchweight would be in store:

"The fight is going to be agreed upon for 158 pounds," said Arum, who hopes to reach an agreement in the coming weeks, "but will be in March at a Las Vegas casino."




Canelo Alvarez vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Could Be a Reality in March - Bad Left Hook

JC Jr is bigger than Canelo and I for one haven't seen Canelo get hurt by a punch yet, but I think JC (as terrible as he is) could make this a very competitive fight. I'm of course pulling for Alvarez.

I'd love to see this fight, it would be huge in Mexico and a big draw in the U.S., but if Arum is running the show, it will likely be a PPV.
As for the fight (if it actually happens in March), it's anyone's guess who wins, but I hope it's Alvarez.

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.

You're crazy.

Major miscalculation on Team Chavez's part. Probably banking on some of Canelo's recent lackluster performances. But punching power, combined with Junior's largely untested chin and heart, could factor into a big surprise.

Personally, I'd be whooping and hollering in favor of Canelo, hoping for a devastating KTFO.
