    Could Canelo potentially win a Title at Heavyweight? Only slightly shorter than Tyson. How would he fare against Joshua?

    You’re better off asking Canelo vs Usyk, at least that’s somewhat in the realm of a possibility.

    Usyk UD.

    Joshua has a glass chin. Canelo will walk him down and stop him just like Ruiz did.

    Easy nights work

    Heavyweight is too far. They are too big and too strong for him. He might win a title at cruiserweight though. It's maybe possible with the right opponent. But not heavyweight.

    Lol any half way decent cruiser weight would knock out Canelo. Any light heavyweight with power should knock out Canelo.

    That's why I want to see Canelo vs Beterbiev.

    Everyone has a ceiling and I believe that Beterbiev represents one violent ceiling.

    I don't know ... there's a strong possibility ... Joshua's drink gets spiked ... Joshua does his ring walk in a heavy costume which drains his energy ... something in Canelo's gloves ... Joshua's own trainer and the ref both conspire against him. All of these things could cause Joshua to lose a fight he was otherwise going to win.

    I agree. I'm just saying that with the right opponent it's possible. Obviously Okolie or Breidis aren't those opponents.

    Imagine Joshua missing with Canelos head movement and getting worked to the body viciously by Canelo. He'd get frustrated, gas and tire and his vulnerable mandable would get rocked late for a stoppage.

    People were saying the same thing about Chocolatitio and how he could move all the way up to Featherweight...

    Lol is this serious, canelo is not beating a 6ft6 17.5st Joshua or any other top heavyweight. Way too much of a size difference.

    Canelo is no Qawi, and in the end Qawi couldn't do Heavy either. Silly question.

    Clenelo is still getting bigger, faster, and stronger... So who knows.

    Canelo would swarm over AJ like Ruiz did and KO him.
