    To answer your question, I think Rocky takes Alvarez out. He’s just too much for him imo

    You know, Alvarez is clean-shaven...A lot of Rock's body weight was actually just that swarthy Mediterranean hair. Garlic is very stimulative of torso follicles in particular. Leaves the scalp alone though, funny thing, I've heard. Look at Locche. Who would've been a featherweight.

    Rocky was still naturally bigger, had better stamina, better chin, hit harder, and had a way higher work rate

    Five people have got Canelo stopping him.
    Unbelievable.

    You must be forgetting the cut Ezzard Charles gave him.
    Don't you know that he came out the next round and closed the deal.

    I only found out about that yesterday.....no one has ever mentioned it before.....

    Rocky beat way better fighters than Canelo in Moore, Walcott and Charles.

    Rocky would stop him after a few exciting rounds. No way Canelo has any chance...

    And this is the thing. Canelo is already noted for fading in fights. So let's turn up the dial to 11 and put Rocky freaking Marciano in there with him, a guy much bigger than him noted for his workrate and his p4p punching power. :lol:

    Yeah Canelo may land some counters on him. But Marciano will do what Marciano does, bull his way inside and maul the bejesus out of Canelo who's not going to be able to take his little rest breaks and who is going to have to work at maximum effort round the clock just to stay in the game. Canelo was blowing his gaskets against OLD Golovkin and Jacobs later in the fight. Marciano will make those steam pipes erupt and crumple Saul up like tinfoil at around 6-9 rounds.

    I'd love to see Archid Moore against Canelo, he'd break him down to pieces.

    I was watching Moore VS Marciano just now. Moore did pretty well for a while. He was a good, sneaky fighter with considerable pop himself. But the moment Marciano hurt him it was over. Rocky jumped on him like an avalanche and lumped him up. Not much finesse, just a relentless stream of blows thrown from inside a phone booth until they stopped him.

    Lest we forget
