I am surprised this hasnt been mentioned before? Battle of the PED HOFers , winner takes all @168lb. No limitations for this fight. No VADA testing malarkey, this is all about pharmacy + skill fight. Roy can take as much ripped fuel as he wants and Canelo can eat a whole CLEN cow for breakfast. Discuss?
I have to go with my boy Canelo on this. I think Canelo finds that glass chin at some point over 12rds and puts Roy to sleep.
It's based on Roy having a glass chin. Which is a Fact. It's also based on Canelo being an accurate puncher who can dig, you dig? Especially when on the sauce. Canelo ain't no part time bin man that Roy feasted over the years.
Canelo his slim to no chance here. Roy clowns him with his superior speed, combos and power each and every round. Canelo struggles to get close or land anything of note and may well be hitting air all night. Stylistically it could well look like the Calzaghe/Lacy fight, but Canelo toughs it out a little better. Still prob get’s badly beaten up and/or stopped.
Roy was not chinny until he came back down from heavyweight back to LH So this version of Roy barely was touched and clowning future ATG's with ease. I would go with a wide UD for Roy. Just to save the OP some time Andre and Joe would also beat Canelo.This is one of the weakest eras for SMW so clearing the divsion of BJS ( middleweight) Smith (light Heavy who only beat a shot Groves) Yildrim (Who?) and Fielding (One of the weakest belt holders since the division started) and then Plant (skilled but poor resume) If Canelo was such a boss he would have cleared middleweight first. but we all know they are few challengers there he didn't fancy. In conclusion they only way Canelo beats this version of Roy is in an absolute robbery by the paid for judges....
Roy wide decision, he barely lost a round at 168. Canelo would have to rely on some Adelaide Byrd/CJ Ross level judging to get the nod
