    I think Ryder is one of those guys who has nights when he is on his A Game, and nights where he just isn’t.

    Canelo definitely wins this, but if Ryder is on form he won’t make it as easy as some people think it’s going to be.

    Found this video comparing each guys fights vs Smith. Ryder looked bigger vs Parker than he did he vs Smith.

    I don't think Ryder has a chance here. The main question is does he last the distance or not. Either way Alvarez should win this comfortably.

    Canelo and Ryder seem to have been made from the same mold (and no I'm not comparing their skills) down to the similar facial features.

    This isn't a serious question is it?

    I’m riding on Ryder as a dark horse for this one.

    That's a lazy and over-used trope.

    There are not very many top current boxers who have challenged themselves as much as Canelo.

    NO but that doesn't change one word in my previous post.

    Are you betting on Canelo over Bivol?

    Unlikely but not impossible, Ryder is a seriously underrated fighter.

    18 months ago I would have said not a chance, but Canelo looked so one dimensional and slow in Golovkin 3 that he seems to be aging. I still think he is justifiably the obvious favorite but Ryder does have a chance, admittedly, an unlikely one.
