    Graham also deserved the decision against Kalambay the 2nd time and was robbed no fault of his own.

    I think Graham's performances against McCallum, Kalambay 2, shows he would be a handful for Canelo.

    And just on a side note I think both McCallum, Kalambay, at their best beat Canelo aswell.

    Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Calzaghe, Carl Froch, John Conteh, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank

    & Clinton Woods, Michael Watson, George Groves would give him a good fight.

    As others have said Conteh, Calzaghe, Eubank and Froch all beat Canelo but it’s fair to note they are all naturally much bigger.
    Can’t think of I don’t think any of of the smaller middle weights do very well.

    I don't think George could pull it off.

    Canelo stopped George's daddy, Smith.

    And he I believe Canelo would have also beaten Groves' double-daddy, Froch.


    Joe Calzaghe would be your man for this mission.
