WOW, Canelo-Williams is a done deal!! Sept 15 MGM on PPV!

Great fight. I got Canelo winning a war.

Williams is actually prime.

Did he get exposed as being terrible against southpaws? Yes, as far back as 2008 by Quintana, or if you want to push it, it was actually against Mitchell but was too small to capitalize on that. But I see the same exact Paul Williams against Ishida, as the one in 2007 against Margarito, and the one who can't duck a punch if his life depended on it against Walter Matthysse in 2006.

This "Williams is past it" stuff is false. Put Williams against Cotto in 2007, I would have Williams beating him. Put Wiliams against Cotto now, he'd still win. Williams can still beat the guys he could have beaten in 2006-2009. If Williams does not beat Canelo in their fight, then no version of Williams can beat this version of Canelo IMO.

I'm not so sure about that chief. He didn't look nearly as energetic against Ishida as he had in the past. He also looked terrible against Lara, and it wasn't just because of him being a lefty (although that was part of it) he looked drained/weak. Fighting Alvarez will sure show what he's made of now.

And I agree he still beats Cotto.

I'll believe it when Canelo is walking down the aisle. If this happens, I'll forgive him for fighting a string of severely shot fighters

[DoktorSleepless]

If Canelo fights like he usually does, Williams will have a very good chance to beat him. The main problem I see is that the blue print to beat Williams is already out in the open for anyone to use. Canelo is young enough to adapt and train specifically to beat Williams in a similar manner that Quintanta/Williams/Lara have. He's not a southpaw, but he could still train to move in and out, which is something that ****ed Williams as much as the southpaw stance. His trainer would be ****** to not take advantage.

You know what? I think I'll change my pick to Canelo beating Williams by decision. It's not going to be a war. Canelo will fight smart.

Great fight. I want to go to this live.


What's your over under : Williams throws 1,000 punches

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

This is a great fight for the kid!!! He is the man good on him!!!

[dannyl15]

If Canelo lands, there is no way Williams will be able to take his punch, no way.

[cactusEG]

This is bigger than Mosley IMO. I could see him winning this fight. I wonder whos on the under cards ?

He's always been a B- fighter with no defense. He looked good against Ishida but he also looked 2x as big as him. That's his whole advantage. If he beats Cotto its only because he's so much bigger than him.

Alvarez should spark him.
