A Canelo win either way you slice it or dice it, but how much Canelo will struggle for the W all depends on what type of shape Chavez comes in at.

Chavez if fit has the size advantage. He can be a pressure fighter, close the gap and take Canelo out or he can use his size to keep Canelo away. I doubt Chavez will be smoking pot because this is a big fight.

What weight advantage? Canelo has been fighting as a light heavy all along. He'll make 164 the day before and come in at 180. He doesn't need any diuretics and such this time, but now we have to keep an eye on Jr.

I doubt this fight to be competitive for 4 rounds before Canelo takes over

It will do 1million + PPV

Skillwise of course Alvarez is better than Chavez Jr., but Jr.'s no flook. Fonfara could flash knockdown GGG, Jacobs, DeGale, Zurdo, Alvarez. Chavez Jr. got a crazy chin and it took 9 rounds for a top 5 LHW at the time to take out Chavez Jr.

I wouldn't be surprised if in this bout Alvarez doubles at least his clinching compared to all his bouts. That alone can tire out Alvarez. Chavez Jr. Is a big motherfck. Hell No is Alvarez remotely close on size. A combination of Chavez Jr. pounding Lee with a more active jab like against Britsch with Chavez Sr. in camp crazier than ever this time around and it could very risky hout for Alvarez.

The only fight Canelo has come in under 170 on fight night in the last 2 years was with Floyd. Lara, Angulo, Trout, 171 to 174 on fight night. That's light heavy. We don't know what he weighed on fight night for Smith, but I'm sure he didn't shrink.

Canelo was 174.5 for Angulo. If you don't think he comes in five pounds heavier now then I don't know what to tell you.
