By Jeff Aranow: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has a “big chance” of beating undefeated Gennady “GGG” Golovkin if the two of them face each other this year, says former four division world champion Erik Morales. He sees improvement in the game of the 26-year-old Canelo (48-1-1, 34 KOs) in his recent fights, and he thinks that might give him the ability to beat the 34-year-old Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs).

Morales sees the Canelo-Golovkin fight as an even one right now, but he does feel that Golovkin has more experience and technical ability of the two.

Erik Morales: Khan will not go 4 rounds with Canelo

khan545By Scott Gilfoid: Former world champion Erik Morales sees the Amir Khan vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight going no more than four rounds with Khan getting blasted out on May 7 in their fight on HBO PPV.

Morales likes Khan’s speed, but he thinks he’s got problems with his ability handle shots. Morales also sees Khan as having a problem with the weight. He’s moving up from welterweight to middleweight to take the fight against the 25-year-old Canelo at a catch-weight of 155lbs. That’s going to be an issue right off the bat, but with Canelo rehydrating up in weight, it’s going to be a problem for Khan.

The fact that Khan is moving up in weight will be a problem for him because he’s going to be facing a very, very big middleweight. Canelo might like to fight at 155, but he’s clearly a large middleweight in terms of weight.
