    Manny Pacquiao vs. Canelo Alvarez

    Do you think that the fight could happen in September 2015 if Canelo gets past Clottey/Cotto & Pacquiao gets past Algier/IDFK ?

    Would it be @ 156 for the MW Title or just a regular fight @ 154?

    Who would you have winning?

    How many PPV buys would you guess?

    Pacquiao gets stopped ... No doubt in my mind.

      You guys know how much of a Canelo fan I am.

      With that being said, at any fair/comfortable weight: Pacquaio eats Alvarez for lunch. He might even get him an undormfortable weight (155-above.)

      Pacquiao is a proven, one of a kind, type fighter.

      Canelo still has a long ways to go to fill those shoes. And possibly never will. Which is okay.

      PPV would be 1.5 area, my opinion.

        How would Canelo catch him though? Pacquiao would stick & move the whole fight similar to what Floyd did, but with a greater output.

          Canelo can't make 150. This fight ain't happening.

            pac is hittable. he was getting hit by brandon rios is spots. hes no floyd on the defensive end. and canelo is quited good as a counter puncher. very dangerous fight for pac. not sure how it turns out tho.

              What surprises me about Canelo is that he is in a similar boat as Cotto. Not great enough to beat ATG's, but good enough to beat everybody else near him.

              I don't think he will ever have what it takes to get him a step-above.

                Doubt we see the fight happen, cement feet would have a hard time with Pacman.

                  I don't think it's going to happen. If it did, the build up would be incredible. A fading Pacquiao vs a rising Canelo is an incredibly intriguing fight.

                  We could see Pacquiao prove his greatness all over again or we could see him pass the torch to Canelo.

                  No matter what though, I want Floyd vs Pacquiao. They both have nothing left to prove except fighting each other. It would still be a record breaking fight. There's no other fight out there that the people more unanimously want.

                    Canelo is too flat footed for someone like Pac. Think Pac takes a decision
