On those two measurements alone, the assumption was always that the fight would be a full day's work for Alvarez; the caveat was always that, with Chavez Jr's preparation being what it is, he wouldn't show up on fight night in shape to actually try to fight to win.
The photos from the camp seem to show that Chavez Jr is doing the work needed to come ready to fight (already being in the saunas and still over 175lbs has me glancing at some concern, though).
On pure ability, I still think that Alvarez is the better fighter, but, if Chavez Jr can properly shave off that final 10-12 pounds, Alvarez is walking into the ring with a 6'1, 180lb fighter who isn't going to go anywhere (Chavez Jr was able to go a full nine rounds with a legit light heavyweight fighter, and the only way it stopped was because he mentally quit on the fight).
Chavez Jr likely doesn't get stopped, but I don't think he has the ability to pick 7 of 12 rounds against Alvarez (because Alvarez doesn't seem like the type to go anywhere either).
His size and height advantage will be an issue for Canelo but don't let that fool you too much, Chavez Jr is a mediocre fighter after all.
There really is such thing as "big for nothing".
Chavez is goin to be so much bigger than Nelo, I hope Nelo has his stamina on point
Neither guy is special, but its up to Chavez to make it a fight, if hes actually trained for this fight, n it seems like he is
We thought Jacobs would be easy work for Golovkin, we thought Fury would be easy work for Wlad, we thought Bellew would be easy work for Haye, so anything can happen
All of em either have or had 100x the work ethic and passion of Jr.

If Chavez comes healthy then this is a fight he could win. It's not really by a long shot(that he comes healthy), if you have guys like memo helpin ya, and if you know this is the chance to revive your ruined career. If Chavez can eat Canelas punches like cupcakes, then he can take the fight to him and pressure him non-stop. Mid section is obviously the concern though. Canela also doesn't have the footspeed of maravilla to escape.
Overall, obviously Canelo is the better and far more technical fighter compare to Chavez jr, and has somehow proven himself against top competitions.
But hopefully on this one, the physical advantages, the style and the hunger of chavez jr will win.
Rooting for the underdog.
There is so much at stake in this fight for both guys. This fight is about pride and bragging rights, neither will go away easy.
I'm really liking Jr, always have.
Fuk canelo

And here I am predicting all these upsets. Talk for yourself.
The only one i didn't bet in was the GGG fight, because I thought even if Jacobs wins it in a close fight, he's not markatable enough for them to give it to him.
