  1. Alvarez won't, he believes he's a boxing purist. He boxed very well vs Trout but alot of defensive stuff & head movement that he done was just for show. A bit like a footballer doing pointless step-overs. I was convinced if the fight happened that Alvarez would knock Floyd out. His power is outstanding at 154 and he has the skills to get the shots home & cut off the ring (nearly all his opponents have resorted to running). The catchweight however is making me hesitant to pick Canelo. He had a catchweight of 150 for Matthew Hatton and couldn't get down below 151.5 and that was about 3 years ago. He's 23 and filling out, i was already starting to think 154 was getting to much and he needed to move to middleweight at 160. Alot of people have been critical of his stamina in his last couple of fights, which again i think is to do with the amount of dehydrating & draining he's doing to reach 154. With catchweights you can never tell if they have an effect or not until the guy gets between the ropes, but it could ruin a great fight if Canelo has weight & hydration issues from the start from boiling down to 152.
  2. corporate dominance is bad for the game but it's a cancer that's too big to be cut out now. I disagree that it's here nor there though, teams like Rangers or Manchester united established that corporate dominance like a small business owner who spent years of hard work growing his business to become multi-national with multi-million pound turnovers, meanwhile Chelsea & Man City were like small business owners who never quite achieved the same success but won the lottery 1 day to pull there wealth in line with who earned it. Those Sheiks could have purchased West Ham instead of Man City and they'd be the team competing for the Prem while City scrapped in the relegation zone.
