Everyone at their best at 160 including Canelo. -Gennady Golovkin -Jermall Charlo -Billy Joe Saunders -Arthur Abraham -Bernard Hopkins -Roberto Duran -Sugar Ray Leonard -Marvin Hagler -Tommy Hearns -James Toney -Jake LaMotta -Michael Nunn Who wins who loses?
GGG - Easy, Golovkin already beat Canelo 2-3 years past his prime so it would probably be even more comfortable in his prime Charlo - Canelo KO BJS - Canelo via SD Arthur Abraham - Canelo wide UD Hopkins - Hopkins in a competetive fight, probably 8-4. Duran - Impossible to say, Canelo would most likely be 10-15lbs heavier than Duran so I'd say Canelo KO SRL - Same as Duran but I'd favor Canelo in a competitive fight, just because he'd be 15 lbs heavier. Hagler - Same as Duran, he was basically a welterweight by today's standards, was probably around 165 on fight night and Canelo around 175-180 on fight night. I wanna go with Hagler but I can't pick someone who would be 2 weight classes lower to beat one of P4P greats of this era. Hearns - Probably best suited to beat Canelo out of the pre 90s boxers. His insane reach could help him get a decision in a close fight but I still favor Canelo to demolish him with body shots. James Toney - Complete 50/50 in my opinion LaMotta - Canelo early KO Nunn - Can't say as I haven't seen enough of Nunn to make a judgement. I've seen maybe 4 of his fights, I reckon Canelo would catch him eventually.
The best version of Canelo beats the best version of Golovkin every time. 154 Canelo drew with GGG. 160 Canelo touched up GGG. Today's Canelo would do the same as he did in the rematch only worse and take GGG's prime at any stage. Jermall Charlo has the best chance at giving Canelo a grueling fight today, but heavily favor Canelo. BJ Saunders gets his face smashed in every time. AA gets outboxed, never lands anything meaningful Hopkins would imo neutralize Canelo's speed, and touch him up, may be competitive but I give Hopkins the edge. Duran would be able to outbox Canelo. SRL would also likely outbox Canelo. Hagler would make it into a dog fight and push Canelo to the limits likely beat him. Hearns would get KO by Canelo after possibly winning the earlier rounds James Toney is hard to say. He can outbox a Pre 160 Canelo, but he may also get touched up by Post 160 Canelo. LaMotta- Haven't seen enough of him to give an opinion Nunn- Same as Lamotta.
-Gennady Golovkin- GGG already beat him twice so GGG -Jermall Charlo- Canelo -Billy Joe Saunders- Canelo -Arthur Abraham - Canelo UD (small chance of one of them come form behind King Arthur KOs) -Bernard Hopkins - Hopkins UD -Roberto Duran - Tough one... I'll say Canelo since he'd be bigger man -Sugar Ray Leonard - Leonard -Marvin Hagler - Hagler -Tommy Hearns- Canelo KO (Hearns has a punchers chance) -James Toney - Toney -Jake LaMotta - Have not watched much of him don't know -Michael Nunn - Canelo
Gennady Golovkin - GGG UD Jermall Charlo - Canelo TKO Billy Joe Saunders - Canelo SD Arthur Abraham - Canelo wide UD Bernard Hopkins - Hopkins UD or MD Roberto Duran - Canelo wide UD -Sugar Ray Leonard - Canelo SD Marvin Hagler - Hagler MD Tommy Hearns - Canelo KO/TKO James Toney - Toney MD Jake LaMotta - Canelo UD Michael Nunn - Canelo KO/TKO

Gennady Golovkin: Canelo UD Jermall Charlo: Canelo TKO Billy Joe Saunders: Canelo TKO Arthur Abraham: Canelo UD Bernard Hopkins: Could go either way Roberto Duran: Canelo UD Sugar Ray Leonard: Canelo UD Marvin Hagler: Hagler UD Tommy Hearns: Canelo TKO James Toney: Could go either way Jake LaMotta: Canelo UD Michael Nunn: Canelo UD
GGG and Hopkins beat Canelo. I favor Canelo over Toney at 160 but that switches at 168. Hearns loses and so does Hagler.
Canelo doesnt fight anyone without stacking the deck and opportunist cherrypicking so he probably loses to most these guys 8-4. As average as Jermall is, I think he would definitely trouble Canelo with his size, jab and power. High volume boxers and in/out boxers like Chenko and Korobov are bad stylistically for Charlo. Canelo can't keep up with them twos footwork. But Canelo would probably drain him like he does everyone and give him a short camp.. Canelo doesn't do fair fights hes a ginger pusssy
-Gennady Golovkin- Canelo allready beat him twice -Jermall Charlo- Canelo wins -Billy Joe Saunders-Canelo wins -Arthur Abraham- Canelo wins -Bernard Hopkins- Hopkins had trouble vs Handspeed, Canelo wins -Roberto Duran- Duran is not a middleweight, Canelo wins -Sugar Ray Leonard- Leonards speed and hand and foot propel him to a close decsion. -Tommy Hearns- Like Hagler, Canelo would tear down Hearns body and stop him mid rounds, I'm assuming Canelo would imploy the strategy he did in the Golovkin rematch and be the aggressor. If he fought Hearns any other way, Hearns would win by easy decision. -Marvin Hagler-This is really a hard one for me. Skillwise their both on par with eachother, but I favor Hagler in this one in that he's a bit more complete than Canelo. Hagler was just as good from long, mid, and short distance on the inside. Hagler by competitive but clear decision. -James Toney- Assuming Toney come in shape, but Toney at his best is all wrong for a natural counterpuncher like Canelo. Toney is to quick, slippery and to good on the inside. Toney by comfortable decision. -Jake LaMotta- Ill pass on this pick, have'nt seen enough of LaMotta -Michael Nunn-Nunn by clear decision. Too quick, to slippery, and to fast at his prime for Canelo imo.
Golovkin already beat Canelo. Canelo would beat Abraham, BJS and Charlo. Hopkins UDs Canelo Hard for me to call the rest because I'd need to refreshmy memory as to how they performed at middleweight.
For those picking Canelo over Nunn, how do you all see this fight going? How would Canelo go about beating Nunn?
