Tough call, close fight.
60/40 Canelo

but wouldn't be surprised at pretty much any result

I would lean toward The Battle of Kell Brook.

Alvarez all day.

Canelo might be scared to fight true MWs, but he's better than Kell Brook at 154.

Kell proved he's tough & game, but Canelo is in another league.

Be a good fight. Think canelo would win with his greater power but Brook would have succes- fast hands and equally accurate punches. Brook has good balance and better footwork than Canelo as well.

Alvarez by KO.

Alvarez

Canelo by 8th round KO.

On paper it should be Alvarez.

But Kell's precision and handspeed could cause an upset. What happens if he lands that uppercut on Alvarez' chin? What if he lands it after the tenth, when Canelo's stamina dwindles ?

Alvarez wouldn't be able to corner Kell the way Gennady did, because he doesn't have the footspeed. And we saw Kell taking a few bombs from Gennady without going down.

It would be a close fight, with possibly Canelo hitting the deck late and being saved on the scorecards, as usual.

Fan of both fighters here but would root for Brook if it happened.

My prediction? Canelo by way of late stoppage with the fight being extremely tight on the scorecards.

Easy pick. Canelo. If you are anyone other than Floyd Mayweather, or can't KO Canelo, you will lose.
I happen to think Andrade could beat Canelo, but doubt if they ever fight.

Brook is the more skilled boxer, but Canelo the harder puncher and has the better chin. I tend to think Canelo catches up with Brook and stops him in the mid to late rounds while ahead on the official scorecards, but slightly behind on most fans' scorecards.

Canelo, 99 %.........Brook had only one win (questionable one) against a solid fighter - Porter, and one pay-day loss, and that's it.

GingerHead does not have the power, footwork or chin of 3G. Boxers with good movement and quick hands have given him fits in the past (FMJ, Lara, Trout). Brook has the right combination of power, footwork, speed and chin to be competitive and lose a more controversial decision than Lara and Trout did.

For the record; I thought GingerHead defeated Trout, and won a decision that could have gone either way or ended in a draw with Lara.

Excuse me, but Brook's power was nothing more than decent at 147. At 154, his power is average....Canelo would destroy him, easily...

Winner get's Tyson Fury?

IMO, he has more power than FMJ and Trout. FMJ had enough power to back GingerHead up.

Not sure if it was the power that gave him pause or the 3-5 shots every time he came in. That gets frustrating.

Missing nearly every punch he threw has just as much to do with it.

Certainly not Kell

Nothing like losing admirably to raise your stock.

8 days ago, there was a Brook fight at 160, you know...

Did you watch it?
