    Do you think Canelo could move up to 168 and win a title there, or would that be a bridge too far? Maybe he could fight Arthur Abraham.

    Canelo hasn't got the bottle to fight at 160 so NO.

    Im not sure, somebody on here said he isnt big and strong enough for Super Middle yet he is guna strart struggling to keep at 160 let alone 155. I think i agree with who ever said that.

    I think he is overrated and if he hasnt got the power to trouble people at 168 then he is screwed cuz hes no master boxer either.

    Canelo would whoop Abraham, so yes he could win a title, he would never be the best in the division. Quite a few SMW could beat Abraham and Murray is a no hoper who he struggled against.

    If he forces a 161lbs catchweight it might be enough to kill every opponent on the scale. ROFL

    No, I don't think he beats anyone at 168, at least not the top fighters.

    No. Hes too small.
    Most top SMW are 6 foot+

    He can't bust a grape at super junior MW aka 155, I doubt there's a MW on the planet he's capable of wobbling with those cotton bud fists of his let alone a 168 pounder.

    Nah. Look at the size of him. He looked the same height as Cotto when they fought and Cotto is listed at 5'7.

    No.... He could barely beat a blow up WW at 160. I like Canelo, but no.... He gets smoked by any top 10-20 SMW.

    No. Too short and not enough power to compensate that.

    I do not think Canelo right now should be favoured against AA @168. He obviously is a better boxer but AA is just too strong.

    Abraham would be too big?
