    What if they hypothetically made this fight next ? Does Boots stand a chance

    They don't make the fight because Canelo is finished at the elite level. Canelo loses loading up on single shots with no jab.

    Boots walks around at 170. He could make 168 easy enough I imagine but with no belts on the line he'd only be there for a payday.

    Canelo is done at the highest level
    He still has entertainment value vs the John Ryders & munguias of the world.

    Canelo would win even today.
