"Logic Behind the Leather" Mayweather v.s. Alvarez

On September 14'th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, Floyd "Money" Mayweather meets Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, for what is promising to be one of the best boxing matches of the decade.  Both boxers have been preparing vigorously for this match-up and sports fans and critics alike are on edge, as the fight is quickly approaching.  Many fans are rallying around Alvarez, with hopes that he will hand Mayweather his first loss in 44 fights, as seen while the two were touring to promote their upcoming bout.  Mayweather has always had his fair share of those who dislike him and in true fashion, care less about what people think of him, letting his flawless record speak for itself.

Let's just state that facts here, Mayweather is undefeated in the ring and here's why: he has the ability to think and make adjustments while in the ring, and his defense is brilliant, not getting hit with as many punches as many of his opponents.  He has shown poise and is able to weather the storm against tough fighters like Shane Mosely and Chop Chop Corley, whom he was hurt by.  Mayweather was able to neutralize his opponents and ultimately claim victory against the two fighters.  There have been boxers who were taller, stronger and faster, but has failed to capitalize from these advantages. 

Canelo Alvarez is one of the slickest, Mexican fighters around.  Alvarez's potential is impressive, with a record of 42-0-1, he is looking to upset Mayweather and make a bigger name for himself.  Alvarez has shown growth in his defense, as seen in his fight against Trout, but hasn't fought anyone close to Mayweather's level and needs his defense to be second to none against someone as skilled as Floyd.  Alvarez gets hit often, something that he can't afford to do against Mayweather.  In Alvarez's bout against Trout, he was outboxed for the majority of the fight.  Alvarez fought in spurts, getting lethargic and calling his stamina into question.  Alvarez dropped Trout with a right hand, because the lack of Trout's state of readiness, something that he won't get a chance to do against Mayweather.  He will unquestionably have to box Mayweather for the entire 48 minutes if he wants to have a chance against Mayweather.

Canelo Alvarez has a bright future as a boxing champion, but he will surely be tested by the future hall of famer.  Mayweather will fight a superb fight and Alvarez will have to compete on his level, something he hasn't experienced in all the bouts he's fought so far.  This fight will undoubtedly be spectacular, but with that said, Canelo Alvarez will be taken to school by Mayweather, who will show what a phenom he truly is, reigning supreme at the end of the fight!
