I do think Rhodes has a decent shot at pulling this out. Hatton could have made the fight a lot more competitive, and more "dangerous" for canelo had he possessed more of a punch. Rhodes, while not a devastating puncher, has good knockout power, and he will actually be a lot closer to Alvarez's size come fight time.

Alvarez late stoppage.

Ya, Rhodes is dangerous for this kid.

Any word yet on whether Canelo's team will demand a stupid catchweight?

Rhodes will be the bigger man physically, he was 164 in his last fight i belive, plus he has that whole "old man strength" without being shot or debilitated by age.

This could be a very rough night for Alvarez if Rhodes performs well.

If he moves his feet and dont just stand in front then he has a chance because his movement is slick.

Rhodes has the experience on his side plus his tenacity and body attack. It will be a tough, unforgettable fight. If for noone, then for Canelo!

Im suprised Canelo is actually taking fights with LM now, i mean i know he won a wbc belt and all but fighting an actual LM is a massive step up.

everyone knows that canelo would not have taken this fight if he knew he couldnt win. mark my words he will win this fight cause its all about money now days with boxing.
