At this point it's the only question worth asking: Who is going to win Saturday night's fight between Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan?

Alvarez by KO
Canelo is bigger, stronger and younger and while I think Khan will give it a great effort and be more competitive than some think he might be, Canelo by knockout in the middle rounds.

Alvarez by KO6
While Khan is skilled enough to win the fight, his chin and aggressive nature won't let him. One counter right hand from Alvarez will bring the end.

Alvarez by KO
Khan should give Canelo problems for the first half of the fight with his length, speed and legs. In the second half Canelo's pressure, size, strength and youth along with good body work should allow Canelo to come on and score a late knockout.

Alvarez by decision
It's going to be a real tightrope walk for Khan to last the distance and even if he does, the decision goes to Canelo.

Alvarez by KO6
I could see something similar to Canelo's fight with Alfonso Gomez playing out, as Khan's speed helps him build a lead before he gets caught, hurt and taken out by the champion in the middle rounds.

Alvarez by KO
Canelo wins because of the weight difference and because Khan has a weak jaw.

Alvarez by KO
The matchup is bad for Khan. While Khan has great skills and lighting speed, that won't be enough. I do not see how Khan can avoid being connected by Canelo's power punches. Khan will win most of the rounds, but when the exhaustion comes, so will the KO.

Alvarez by KO
Canelo is stronger, heavier and faces a smaller opponent. Canelo just need to be accurate and effective with his power punches. He should knock Khan out before the sixth round. Another result would be a huge surprise.

Alvarez TKO7
Some problems for Canelo at the beginning because of Khan's speed, but his adjustments, power and size will give him the key for a great knockout.

Alvarez TKO10
Khan will use his agility to keep Canelo at a distance, but I am not sure he will be able to keep that pace for 12 rounds. Plus he is known for having a crystal chin; I am sure Alvarez will look for that target.

Alvarez TKO8
Too big and strong for Khan, whose chin was suspect against junior welterweights. Don't see how he stands up to a legitimate middleweight.

Alvarez by KO5
Khan has speed, but he also has a history of a fragile jaw. Canelo will surely hit Khan whenever he puts pressure on. Canelo will be much stronger and bigger on fight night, and we have seen his power. I see Canelo winning by knockout in the fifth.

Alvarez by KO7
Alvarez has grown and learned a few lessons against Erislandy Lara and especially Floyd Mayweather in the form of facing speedy opponents who like to move around the ring. But Canelo has the power to take advantage of Khan's weak jaw.
