I think if Manny fights his fight and controls the action obviously Manny. I still have faith that was a fluke punch and fight with JMM.
Manny gets knocked out. Alvarez is much more live than Cheato was, and the few shots Margos slow cheating ass landed actually hurt Pac. Canelo will land, and would bust up Pac.
i see two outcomes. Canelo Knocks Pac outcold or he get outworked since his gas tank is only about 8 rounds.
I'd pick Pacquiao to win in a tough fight. Alvarez isn't quite active enough so Pacquiao would take the majority of rounds imo, I am sure Alvarez can hurt Pacquiao several times, but unless he lands a one-hitter quitter, Pacquiao isn't going anywhere as Alvarez is always very cautious in his approach and doesn't just jump on someone even when they are hurt.
I wouldn't fancy Pacquiao's chances in this one. We aren't talking about big dumb slow Margarito here.
Manny's chin being overrated and JMM's punch being underrated here. Manny would pummel Canelo like he did Margs. Think about it.
I like Manny's style versus bigger guys but I gotta go with Alvarez here. If Saul did nothing but head hunt then sure I can see a Pacquiao decision happening but I think he'd commit to body shots and rough him up pretty good.
Pac lost some foot-speed and post-KO his punch resistance could suffer too, so at this point I see Canelo getting though with bombs and ending the fight inside the distance. Prime for prime however Pac is way too fast, way too sharp, way too energetic, I'll take Pac of Oscar by technical knockout.
