Canelo Alvarez vs Julian Jackson

What is the verdict?

 

I should pick Jackson by brutal KO, and then I remembered Canelo would cheat and re-hydrate 20+ pounds, which is worse than what McClellan did, so now I don't know

 

Also, we don't know how good Canelo's chin is but it seems at least very solid. Thus picking a quick blowout, as many will do, doesn't have much basis

 

It's for reasons such as this that I respect you more than the majority of posters here. You never just react; you think it through logically

 

Jackson would fuck Canelo up horribly.

 

I can't see anything else than Jackson brutally mauling Canelo

 

Jackson wrecked plenty of fighters who had 'very solid' chins. The way to beat Jackson was to either outwork/outbox him while being able to take the incoming, or to be big enough to blast him out in a firefight. Canelo doesn't have the firepower to do the latter and he takes too many round off to do the former IMO. I could see him being a few rounds up on the cards before his stamina starts to fade as normal, at which point he gets caught with something big. When Jackson does that, it is usually enough.

MTF

 

I can't see Canelo not being KO'd eventually. His defense is ok, but not Whitaker-like.
