    Ain't going to happen Beterbiev would throw a spanner in the works. Beterbiev team wouldn't be bribed no rehydration Clause. No under hand deals. Beterbiev fights for pride!.. Beterbiev would bludgeon Canelo, without loading up making canelo stumble drunkenly around the ring with a glancing clumsy shot. Then apologising to the fans saying something like I wanted to go rounds and show my skill.

    Theoretically, I see the only possible way. The ref will warn Beterbiev for every punch that's even close to a foul. Then takes a point from him for that. Then maybe another one. And then Beterbiev gets disqualified.

    He'd beat Pascal fairly easily. He'd lose to Beterbiev. I'd like to see Canelo fight Benevidez.

    How you think that would go, David did not look good against Dirrell to me. Not beatable but Canelo may be somewhat competitive with him at least.

    Plant would be a good fight at 168 IMO.

    If Canelo survived 12 rounds they would surely give him the decision. However, I doubt he would live to see the end of the fight.

    Gvozdik is 6 foot 3 and can box. He is also younger so Canelo would loose a wide UD.

    I would favor the Canelo from last night against everyone. Anthony Joshua 70/30 in favor of Canelo (glass jaw). Ruiz fight 50/50. Wilder fight 65/35 in favor of Wilder.

    More than half the site members woke up in a foul mood today. I'm just trying to be humourous to help them feel better.

    If Canelo convincingly beats Beterbiev or knocks him out then I will recognize him as the current No.1 Best Fighter P4P.
