    Brook is a big WW and it is natural for him to move up at some point. If Canelo stays at LMW he will be a natural opponent. It might never happen but I find it to be an intriguing match up.

    How would you rate this fight and predict the outcome?

    Brook UD.Ask Matthew Hatton and Lovemore Ndou who's better.

    Would be a good fight. Brook has the skills to test him. Not too sure about his chin though.

    What makes it so funny? Canelo is known to struggle against technical boxers. Brook is both technical and a good puncher. He can give Canelo all sorts of problems. This is surely not a ":lol: :rofl" match up for Canelo.

    Canelo struggles against runners.

    Mayweather fought in the pocket for most of the fight against Alvarez.

    Canelo will lose to anyone with skills, ring IQ and ability to use his feet. They cherrypicked Angulo and Kirkland for him to look impressive. And I was really surprised when he aggreed to fight Erislandy Lara. As we saw from that fight, Alvarez is unable to cut off the ring and is only able to land punches on stationary opponents.

    So I pick Brook over him, though we may expect BS decision.

    Am I the only one on here who thinks kell is slow to move and needs to improve his foot work? Having said that it's a good match up but I'd favour canelo as kell is moving up and still hasn't fully excelled at this weight!!!! #carsonjones
