Alvarez is not even top 8 in the lightweight division, but he is a terrible terrible matchup for Conor.
Can Alvarez stand with Conor? Hell no. But he can wrestle him down. People forget the Chad Mendes fight already? A 2 weeks 145 pound teeny Mendes was taking it to Conor.
Alvarez by virtue of size will have a hell of an easy time carrying Conor's weight, so he will be able to take Conor down over and over. Conor might be able to survive 145-lb wrestlers, but dude is going to get wrecked by the 155ers.
