    For me, with both fighters in their prime, Miracle Matthew would have won by a wide margin on points. Canelo in the light heavyweight division has only won (with a lackluster performance) against a Kovalev in clear decline, I think that after tasting Matthew's power, the Mexican would have gone into defense mode, trying to get to the end (otherwise he gets knocked out).

    Saad Muhammad would be too big & strong for Canelo and would stop him inside of 10 rounds

    Matt was a bad @ss but… I’d be interested in the result, Canelo could win maybe, maybe I’m not sure but it’d be an awesome bout.

    Ppl forget how actually skilled and rugged Saad was in his prime,where he could outjab boxers and overcome pressure from brawlers.

    Best Canelo could get here is an UD loss,I'm not convinced with his LHW performances.

    No, Canelo could not win.

    TF has he done at 175 to pick him over a prime Saad?
