Canelo Alvarez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at 160

No matter what people say this is one of the biggest fights that can be made in boxing just because of how big these 2 are in Mexico. I know Chavez Jr is struggling to make 160 or even 168 but lets just say he decides to train hard for Canelo. And also how long can Canelo possibly make 154? 160 is definitely in his future. After seeing Chavez Jr step up against Martinez and Canelo step up against Mayweather. Who do you guys got in this middleweight matchup? Lets not get into an argument about how your not going to pay for it or how Chavez isn't going to make weight. Only question is who wins? http://www.bestboxingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/3.jpg

I don't think Chavez can make 160 anymore, but for the sake of the question: I think it would all depend on Canelo's stamina (assuming all skills carry over from 154). He has the tools to outbox Chavez, but he might tire from the volume of punches by Chavez. I wouldn't be surprised if this fight looked a lot like Cotto-Margo 1 Canelo's stamina should increase when he gets to 160

Skills Vs Size/Power... I would have Canelo winning the decision but who is to say Chavez Size won't cause problems

I can see Canelo winning.. Chavez is unpredictable. He still had marihuana in his blood in one off his biggest fights in career. i dont trust that guy.

Canelo can clearly still make 154 seeings as he just made 152, and I seriously doubt Chavez can make 160 now. If Chavez somehow cut to 160 again I see the drain effecting him and Canelo managing to outbox him. If they fought at a weight Chavez was comfortable at he would simply be too big for Canelo and out work him in a fun fight.

Canelo's combinations would snap Chavez's head from side to side, it would be a sight to see.

Easily Canelo. The kid actually trains for his fights.

Great match up but I think Canelo is a bit fast and his body shots are hard and accurate maybe if he lands a good one he can stop Chavez Jr, but it is a toss up.

Canelo is obviously the more skilled of the two, but I think Chavez Jr. would eventually batter him after a war. I don't know how Canelo would neutralize his size and strength, the guy is use to fighting nothing but smaller opponents, with the exception of Trout.

Would love to see this fight go down next spring, but i think golden boy wants to build canelo back up with an easy win the spring then a mega fight in fall 14... I thinkthese 2 have a bigger mexican following than JMM, and the other mexican greats. Lved watching jcc jr build his way up to the martinez fight was always a crowd pleaser, then u had goldenboy building up canelo like he was the next great, so would be a firework fight, which i think chavez overpowers him

I doubt Chavez can make 160 comfortably anymore and he surely won't be able to by the time Canelo moves up. But if Canelo moved up a year ago, I think Chavez would have been too strong for him.

I would side with Chavez with this one, I just don't think he can do to Chavez what Martinez did, Chavez is too big, strong, and has a good beard. So I would pick Chavez by KO.
