    I don't like him but come on the gut is legit the next heir to 160 you saw how jacobs fought? . Canelo always looks good counter punching and landing good shots I would favor canelo over jacobs. If canelo ever really did fight jacobs I'd be totally surprised? Who you got if they both fight ?

    Ah, you just inspired me to come up with a new nickname.... Canelope! :D

    Little Canelope The Gingerbread Girl gets her ass dissected by Billy Joe Saunders, the true future of Middleweight.

    I think Jacobs at his best would probably have a good shot at out pointing Canelo. His style is all wrong for him.

    But Canelo is legit, no doubt. My biggest issue with him is that he only fights twice a ****ing year

    If BJS is motivated and fully fit (and with Ingle very likely that would be the case) he would outbox Canelo.

    Hard to assess Canelo. We have to see him fighting clean first, before judging him against the other world class middleweights....

    Jacobs golovkin bjs would all beat canelo in a legit and fairly judged fight and then there’s the up and comers in the division who could possibly beat him like charlo.

    Canelo needs to go on a diet and stay at 154

    He aint chasing fellas at 160 for legacy or money, he got no choice. His weight is that of a middle minimum now

    LOL I think Saunders, Jacobs, Charlo and Derevyanchenko will have something to say about that. And while GGG is around, Clenelo can take a seat.

    Don't think I've seen Canelp fight yet.
    What are his strengths? Has he signed up with a known promoter? Which country is he from?

    That’s no good for Canelo he’s undersized at the weight
    And middleweight is stacked right now
