    Does Tommy Bomb him out...or does he outbox him to a decision or does Canelo survive teh dangerous early rounds on account of his solid chin and gradually wear tommy down with body shots and take him out late?

    Canelo would be 181 in the ring so this might as well be a LHW fight, which Hearns wins

    The thought of Canelo pressuring Hearns is indeed LOL worthy.

    The true response is.... Canelo doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of winning this fight. Can't even give him a puncher's chance... I think Hearns could handle his incredibly overrated power.

    hearns might be able to handle the power of alvarez but i doubt he can overcome the vaunted alvarez STANIMA to survive the late rounds

    My opinion hasn't changed a bit on how Canelo fares against Hearns, Leonard, and Hagler.

    I don't think he sees the distance against any of the three.

    Canelo DEFINITELY goes the distance with Leonard...I'd have bet my house on that one. When are y'all gonna remember that Leonard wasn't a big puncher? Little fat old Duran would have taken Leonard's punches for 100 rounds.

    "Little fat Duran" was several leagues above Shitnelo. When will you understand this?

    P4P, sure. Overall career, sure. But in absolute terms he wasn't more durable

    If GGG couldn't stop Canelo, Leonard wouldn't do it in 1000 tries

    Agreed. Pretty sure Canelo last the distance with Leonard.

    If Canelo pressures Hearns, he's going out early.

    My guess is he'll take a couple right hands, and spend the majority of the night in retreat mode. That said, his stamina isn't that great and Hearns would pressure the hell outta him and Tommy had an underrated left hook to the body. I could see Canelo's exhaustion leading to a late rounds ref stoppage at some point.

    Canelo could see a lot of Golov's punches coming and rolled with a number of them. Leonard would be hitting him with shots he doesn't see.

    Leonard at 154 would tatoo Canelo's face. A mercy stoppage would occur even if Canelo doesn't see the canvas.

    Canelo wouldn't last the distance with Trinidad either.

    You picked GGG to brutalize and stop Canelo....so you can get the fuck outta here with your Monday morning quarterback excuses and Leonard stoppage predictions. lol

    Leonard has NEVER stopped anyone as durable as Alvarez. Alvarez aint no Dave Boy Green or Ayub Kalule or Kevin Howard. Leonard couldn't miss Floyd Snr when they fought and Mayweather was stopped on his feet in the 10th or 11th. ...the fuck outta here with this talk of Leonard being some dangerous puncher....
