    Granted canelo has fought better "names" but in a actual fight how do you see this playing out?

    Stevens is clearly a lot bigger and has fought at 175 before much better punch resistance then anyone canelo has fought and a much harder puncher then canelo has ever fought

    If canelo tries to box he might nic it but if he tries to fight stevens the way he has tried to fight smaller glass chined guys he is getting stopped

    Yes, i think Stevens is better than he was back in 2010 but he has not progressed enough to beat someone like Canelo.

    canelo himself was nearrly stopped by a 135 iber these things can happen pac was sparked out by nobodies early on.

    What is clear is stevens is no amir khan or kirkland he is bigger much stronger and wacks much harder has a much better chin this is at 160 rememeber

    This would be a good fight for Canelo to start his 160 campaign. Stevens would be a tougher opponent than Kirkland.
    It will be funny if he choses Gabe Rosado.

    Oh absolutely but Stevens´ ceiling is low, Brinkley proved it(and Brinkley never was a puncher nor that good of a boxer).
    And Canelo was not nearly "nearrly stopped by a 135 iber". He was hurt by a smaller fighter, just as Brinley hurt Stevens.
    The fight is a mismatch and would be a showcase of Canelos power(can he stop him or not).

    Still, a legit KO.
    I'm not saying he's some monster puncher like GGG, but he isn't exactly featherfisted either.

    Um, Shane quit vs Mundine. But you wouldn´t know anything about that fight since you haven´t watched it(i assume so because of your comment). And you got the month wrong.
    And who has knocked Mosley down? Pacquiao and Forrest.

    My entire point was that Canelo would completely outclass him. His power would be on show because he would land everything that he wants to. Now can he stop someone like Stevens or can he only stop the likes of Kirkland?

    Took Khan out with a single punch. Khan usually gets up. (Canelo did benefit from being the bigger man).
    Hes accurate and creative with his punches. Thats why he hurts guys.

    Lol, Stevens is horrible. What has he done since losing to Brinkley? He's only known for calling out GGG on twitter only to receive a highlight reel knockdown. He's always been a limited plodder, couldn't knock out glass jawed Rosado on BKB.. His MW ranking was completely fabricated. After getting bossed up by Jesse Brinkley in 2010, he took a 2 year sabbatical from the sport, only to knock out 3 bums in the first round and win an 8 round UD.
