    @154 in their primes who wins? I got Vargas by decision.

    They are certainly comparable in offensive skills, boxing IQ, and stamina. I would give Alvarez an edge just because his chin is better than Fernando's.

    To piggyback on that Vargas fought far larger and better competition. Canelo chin can be cracked.

    I think Canelo is all around a significantly better fighter. I think he could beat Trinidad at 154, and Vargas obviously could not.
