    I think its a good fight but ......................... if your an easy target (which JCC Jr is) Canelo can hit you with big shots, and they keep coming from all angles and he rarely misses an easy target

    That said Jr does have work rate and he does have size and strength, 2 factors i believe Canelo would find difficult to deal with

    Its a good fight but i like technique over horse power here

    Canelo TKO 8

    Martinez was hitting him with good shots, and it stopped Jr in his tracks for a large portion of the fight, but they were not crisp, varied shots like Canelo throws, and ..................... Martinez as fit as he is, wasnt working that hard to keep Jr off him, unless Jr changes something in his diet or training he's basically a large plodder who relies on size, Canelo would / will have a field day with him IMHO

    I do however believe Jr does have the tools to drag Canelo down the stretch and apply a lot of pressure, but he'll be taking big shots until Canelo's output begins to dwindle, and one day he'll be knocked out (Jr) !

    Martinez has the ability of throwing shots while constantly moving, that way he could keep Junior off, i doubt Canelo can move around Junior the same way.Canelo may hit harder than Martinez but Junior has a hell of a chin, dont forget how he walked thru Lee's and Rubio's punches.
    Is not the same putting pressure against old Mosley,Baldomir or against little josesito and hatton than against a monster like Junior.
    Like i say, we must see how Canelo handles he real jr MW before seen him against a huge MW.

    Canelo hasn't fought anyone much bigger than him let alone his size at his current weight or possibly at any weight so its hard to say. I think he's much better than Chavez but his cherrypicking causes him to be less accomplished. I say we wait until he faces a top 154 fighter before giving judgement. Otherwise we'd look pretty foolish when jumping the gun only to get, you know, shot in the ass.

    Chavez by TKO/KO. I don't think Canelo can move around and throw punches like Martinez did. Add to that, Canelo has no problem going to war. Chavez brings too much power and pressure.

    Canelo is much more naturally talented, but yes, Chavez takes him out, I think. Of course, Canelo comes in on fight-night where Martinez does, by the way.

    Definitely. Chavez gettin beat by Serg hardly means Canelo can take him. I'd pick Chavez to overpower Canelo and beat win clearly. Not like Chavez can't fight, he just a damn slob outside the ring.

    It's a possibility due to the factors you mentioned, but as a betting man I'd go for a Canelo win.
