    at LMW CHarlo

    at MW 3G or BJS are still the best fighters around. Tough he beat 3Gm it was exceptionally marginal - 3G has fair chance to beat him.

    at SMW, Smiffy is King really, he just won the elimination contest even if it wasnt that broad a tournie.

    I thought GGG won the first fight clearly,

    I expected the 2nd to be closer but I didn't expect him to get beaten up.

    I have been saying for years he is a corpse cutting too much weight. Getting older makes the effects 10x worse.

    Canelo is still peaking and will never fight GGG above 160 lol.

    @160 GGG isn't the same fighter he used to be. He would perform much better moving up. Pity a bloke called Callum Smith is @ 168, he's just too big and young for GGG.

    GGG is a huge MW and would be a good sized 168 but Callum Smith is a freak @168 and size matters

    Never ever have I heard someone class GGG as a huge middleweight

    Oscar. If Oscar ever turned on him in one of his coke binges and decided to reveal all the shady things he did for Canelo in an IG Livestream or YouTube vlog Alvarez would be in trouble.

    In all seriousness, Saunders. He's a much bigger version of Lara and trout. Southpaw who moves with some serious slickness.
    Canelo has always had big trouble with movement and his stamina.
    To cut down a mover like that you have to swarm and overwhelm him, fighting in spurts is not gonna be enough

    You are obviously new here. Don't mind James, he's a bit of an oddball. For some unknown reason he is on a one man mission to try and convince the forum that the guy who weighs two pounds over the middleweight limit at the 30 day weigh in is really Wlad Klitchko in Marvin Haglers body

    Golovkin, Bivol(he said he can fight in that division with Smith, so why not with Alvarez?), Munguia.In close future - Chebotarev(very talanted amateur with hundreds of wins and a good style for professional boxing), Jason Quigley.
    For me, the most interesting would be C.Alvarez - Bivol.After 1,2 years.

    I just saw on the scene Ramirez wants to ''unify'' with Canelo if he wins against Fielding... man Zurdo has been fighting soft touches ever since he won his title and he wants the smaller guy and even dares to call it a unification ? Zurdo has done nothing for being worthy of getting that payday. Hell, Munguia deserves it a lot more than him.

    Smith but only because he would dwarf Canelo in the ring but that fight will never happen anyway.

    So lets look at the fights that could actually happen.
    Saunders probably his worst match up he can move and the guy can box guys like that will always give Canelo problems.

    The others
    Chenko all around good fighter who I think will beat Jacobs when they fight.
    Charlo big good jab good speed good power can counter and is nasty as hell who won't show Canelo an ounce of respect.

    No one else has a chance.

    Fair enough, he has an iron chin and decent defence and it's enough for him to last 12 with any of the fighters from the list. Of course, going the distance is an automatic win for Canelo.

    Smith is the objectively bigger guy in the list -_-
    No point putting GGG there as they fought twice and GGG arguably won twice. With him out, Smith would be devastating to him having 8 inch advantage in height and more than that in reach.
