    Non Heavy weight thread!

    How's this for a match?
    McCallum meets Alvarez at the light middle weight .

    I've got the body snatcher winning by a narrow decision .

    Canelo outthinks him and wins a convincing decision.

    Mike violates Canelo who has never fought someone who throws combinations like Mike.

    Canelo did nothing at JMW for anyone to believe this.

    He didn’t hit his prime until he was at MW-SMW.

    At JMW, he couldn’t win a round off of Floyd, and he struggled greatly with Austin Trout.

    So why would you think he’d comfortably have beaten a guy like Mike McCallum?

    McCallum takes this. He's better than Canelo in almost everything. Canelo is more explosive & faster.

    I have no idea who this McCormack is but if you guys say he is good, I will give some credence to that.

    Meanwhile, a green Canelo pitched a draw against Money May, the greatest boxer who ever lived, according to CJ and myself. That means Canelo is also the greatest ever. And no one has ever heard of this McCormon dude.
