    Alvarez still needs a bit more polish. Dude strikes me as a lil one dimensional. I think Khan's speed and running might trouble him a bit, but once Canelo lands.... Khan's legs turn into a new born deer.

    Alvarez is a far more skilfull & rounded boxer. But the disparity in foot speed & mobility's a major obstacle here. I'd probably pick Alvarez by late stoppage given his size and punch picking but Khan would win allot of easy rounds with his feet before that happens. It might not even happen in 12 rounds.

    I'd have my money on Alvarez by stoppage but I'd definitely take the Khan by decision straddle.

    I don't think he's one dimensional at all. Just slow.

    Well yeah his feet are very slow. His handspeed is above average.

    Doesnt really matter. Within a year I think this will be an easy answer.

    Khan simply CANNOT handle a flush Canelo punch. And he doesnt have the defense to avoid Canelo's punches for more than a few rounds.
