    KO % are not the be all and end all, but Canelo's isn't much better to be fair and he had 25 fights with low level Mexi-Cans which would have improved it.

    Who has Canelo koed @ 160?

    That's what I'm going to say.
    Who is BJS? Is he WBO MW Champion?

    Who has he fought at 160lbs?

    GGG - Nobody has stopped him

    Chavez Jnr was at 164lbs but his been stopped once in his career.

    Ask yourself this if Canelo fought Lee, Akavov and Monroe would he Knock them out?

    Yeah he holds the wbo belt. Was a very good amateur, boxed at the Olympics and has plenty skills from the southpaw stance. However he ain't dealing with GGG over 12 rounds

    Quite easily. How many times has Andy Lee been put down and stopped? C'mon Canelo would take him out.

    Akavov? That's not even up for discussion.

    Monroe Jnr - At worst would be put down by Canelo.

    Do you think Canelo hits harder or is a better finisher than Peter Quillin????
    Keep has only been stopped after being fatigued badly really. Canelo isn't a pressure fighter.

    Akavov and especially Monroe are negative fighters, Canelo would struggle to get to them too. More than likely they go the distance.

    GGG doesn’t knock people out with one punch, he hits very hard but it’s accumulative in its effect. BJS doesn’t let you land accumulatively, his defence is tremendous. He doesn’t hide or run either.

    As I posted yesterday, BJS has never fought someone who can pressure him like GGG. BJS has stamina issues and the huge amount of work Saunders would be doing just to try and stay away from GGG would have him fatigued inside 6 rounds. After that he would just be cannon fodder.

    Possibly mate, but to BJS credit it did look like he got in tip top shape in his bout with Monroe.
    GGG is a very special fighter though.

    He did indeed but I'm still not sold on if his stamina issues are gone. That fight was fought at a snails pace with neither fighter doing anything.

    There is nothing that stands out about BJS he's just a cagey fighter. He caught Lee wide open and couldn't finish him and Lee got back into the fight. BJS is too slow for GGG or Canelo. Everytime Lee tapped the body BJS lowered that high guard he likes to use he'd get destroyed by GGG or humbled by Canelo.
