    Conn a pretty small LHW to begin with so size not a factor here. Conn always a step ahead IMO much like May was. Conn comfortable UD

    I'm going to pick Canelo by UD.
    He'd counterpunch Conn all night.

    I think Conn's movement wins him a UD.

    Louis had problems with that, but Canelo would do it easily?

    Canelo is better P4P than Joe Louis

    No, he's not :D
    Besides, Louis was bigger and he didn't lack hand speed.

    It's well known Canelo has issues with good movers, always has. Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Khan ect. all troubled or beat him. So how on earth is he gonna beat Conn?

    Conn would make a fool out of him.

    Conn took several hard shots from Louis before going down. Does any sane person believes Canelo has even close to the power of Louis?

    Conn boxes circles around him and wins a comfortable UD.

    This. Canelo waits too much. Conn never hesitated regardless of who he was fighting. Conn would be lighting Canelo up with combinations all night. Conn isn’t an old and gunshy Kovalev.
