    He has some thick legs like Pac. He should learn to generate power like Pac.

    he is sparring with golovkin right? alvarez is pretty good but still very young, after rhodes he will probably fight mayorga.

    That would be funny... the build-up for mayorga-alvarez. I love Mayorgas show.

    Mayorga afterward would be awesome. Not just the build-up but the fight itself. Alvarez would have to work on his defense to not get caught pulling back, since he's a tall fighter who kind of fights short. Mayorga can be unpredictable and packs a punch. Good test for him I feel.

    Love how overly dramatic that music is. Good video though, am looking forward to the fight, should be a close one. I put money on Rhodes though, mainly because the odds were good. This video builds things up nicely.

    Is there any footage of him sparring with Golovkin? That must have being more entertaining than most fights we see today!

    How mant beat downs does Mayorga need to take before he retires?
    Might be a decent name on Alvarez resume. Thats if he gets past Rhodes of course. Ive always liked Rhodes. Hes been around a LONG time,came out the same time as Hamed from the same gym. Good friends apparently.
    Had a very similar style to Hamed too,but has steadied down a bit as he got older.

    I wish he fought Rhodes for the belt not Hatton. Rhodes is so much more talented than Hatton and deserves it a lot. This is his big chance to shine. I hope he does the UK proud.

    Can't wait for this fight. I have a feeling Canelo will look a lot sharper and prove he is a great fighter. I think the big bear training will make a big difference.

    golovkin clowned him in sparring, along with angulo. Still think he'll beat rhodes though.

    Im still not quite sold on Canelo yet but he seems like a good person and is still very young. Hopefully he goes on to big things but after Rhodes do hope he steps the level up a bit.
