saul alvarez vs Amir Khan

I think Alvarez is overrated so I'll say Alvarez KO1.

 

Wow, Alvarez knocks out Baldomir and the forum goes crazy for him.

 

Very tough call IMO.

I am going to lean towards Khan but only slightly. Could be anyones fight.

I really like Alvarez. I hope he goes far.

 

carrot top by Ko within 5.

 

Alvarez is going to rip through a lot of competition for quite some time, I feel. He's very interesting.

 

I think if khan stuck to the game plan he could out box alvarez quite comfortably at 147.

Alvarez reminds me of cotto for some reason. I don't know exactly what it is, but I won't be surprised if he has similar type of career.

Actually i do know what it is, both these guys look like they have shaky chins in the early part of their careers.

 

Calm, composed, loose in ring, high ring IQ for age, explosive left hook, quality occasional jab, accurate combinations, strong upper body, OK handspeed & reflexes made up with excellent timing and power, economical yet effective output, boxer-puncher with warrior mentality, defensive holes in offense, question marks around chin, quiet, nice personality etc.

 

Alvarez by murder.

This guy just knocked out Baldomir in brutal fashion. This is the Baldomir that was labeled as one of the best chins in boxing. I mean the smart money was on a 12 round fight for this and no one expected a 6th round KO.

 

To be fair, Baldomir is better than Prescott or at least on par, and Alvares knocked him out, not the other way around. Not knocking Khan for that, but Alvares is a developing fighter who is on track as far as skill and power go. That is why people are intrigued by him.

 

Khan at 147 will be a monster.

 

With all due respect to alvarez, Baldomir is 40 yrs old.

 

If they fight now it will be' no higher then 147. I can bet everything that Khan will make Sauls hair color match his face. Khan will only become stronger at that weight, and Saul would only become weaker. Unless this fight is at 154, then it's khans. Its simple.
