    One guy that isn't talked about much that I think could knock off Canelo is Gilberto Ramirez He has the skill but has had an incredibly mismanaged career. Bivol and Beterbiev as well.

    Bivol is the only one I see beating Canelo. He's fast, skilled and has a good jab.

    I agree, I think there could be 3 or 4 that could take Canelo at 175. He'll not go near Beterbiev until he's aged a little more

    no bivol has the best shot... beterbiev is 2 open and canelo ko's him in 3 or 4 rounds.

    kovalev was washed the **** up at that point. Canelo took Kovales straight away and it was a dull fight. most of the people listed have more than one punch and arent shot to pieces.

    The question here is beats him for real or beats him on the scorecards? Cause let's be real, this is 2 different things.
    Beterbiev will be 37 in just 2 months, and he already is out of his prime, which pretty much ended in 2019 with the big inactivity gap.
    So Beterbiev will just be like 3 years out of his prime. So that is a hard question.
    Prime Beterbiev would have totally annihilate Canelo.
    Current version Betterbiev may win 10-2 , and lose a 118-110 on the scorecards ....
    Bivol will definitely beats him badly, but he will lose a close decision on the scorecards.

    Both need a KO, in order the fight be ruled as a draw.
    And let's be realistic Ginger going to be juiced to the grill. Not that he already isn't ....

    Bivol biggest threat followed by Beterbiev

    I’m not sure anybody 175 and below beats Canelo. I certainly wouldn’t bet on it, and would favor no one. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen but I certainly wouldn’t bet on it.

    I think Bivol is the easier than Beterbiev.

    Fighters who rely on reflexes and timing tend to get affected the worst by inactivity.

    Beterbiev relies on blunt force trauma and his strength. There's nothing fancy about him.

    Father Time and hard wars will defeat him and I don't see anyone beating him in a slug fest unless they're willing to shorten their careers too.

    And Canelo should have like 4 more loses in his record.

    Beterbiev and Bivol do,but I think Canelo could get even stronger and possibly out point them,those fights would be great.Other ones I think he could beat
