    Canelo knocks Spike out. They are atleast 1 level apart. Not to mention Canelo will be roided to the gills and be about 220 pounds come the 1st bell and the judges will be the Byrd family too so even if unbelievably spike dominated his man over 12 Canelo still wins.

    Last minute replacement against Golovkin? Spike's a bum, OMG, can't believe this ish! Ducker!
    Headliner vs Canelo? Cool fight man!

    It probably will be a fun fight while it lasts. But, I take exception to the double standards.

    Spike is euro level ... Eubank destroyed him ... I’m embarrassed for canelo this is the fight he’s gunning for
    There’s a lot of talent at middleweight that would jump at the chance to fight him

    Good point. If Spike was outboxed by Eubank, Canelo will maul him.

    Gary should try dig them in to the body early on and see what happens.

    Lol it’s right and I’d say most of us said we weren’t excited by GGG v Spike anyway but by the same token those who threw their toys out about it should react in the same way with Canelo no?

    spike is about to get a big fight either way. he better be perfecting his craft to the best of his ability. cuz i can see him getting it on with anyone out there. ggg, canelo, jacobs, or the charlos.

    Canelo is a counter puncher, he will let Spike come to him and get off 1st.

    Spike is the bigger man and bigger puncher quite clearly.

    Letting a big puncher like Spike unload on you could be asking for trouble.

    Canelo should be a bit too skilled, and his handspeed will be a great advantage.

    Canelo needs a fight like this to earn his way back in to title contention. He shouldn't be able to jump the queue.
