    The problem with Canelo is that even though a boxer may beat him to all reasonable observers, they either need a KO or to absolutely school him, a la Mayweather (even then we saw that is not a forgone conclusion with the ridiculous draw score card). Therefore, most of those %'s would drop as you know the chance of robbery with Golden Boy's Golden Goose is exceedingly high.

    Liam Smith makes Canelo look like a little midget!!!
    How long can Smith make 154?

    What about Andrade he's much bigger than Canelo as well?
    What about the Charlo bro's they aint smaller than Canelo?
    What about JRock and Lubin, those kids are big big JMW's?

    Hell Special K would be out muscled by all of these blokes they are much bigger than him. He's a huge welterweight but damn there are same awesome dietitian's in the 154lbs division these days.

    A lot of the 154lbers make the 160lbs division look small (except for the huge Middles like GGG, CEJ, Jacobs and Quillin)

    Why would GGG be a higher percent than mayweather? Mayweather is far better than GGG, and completely shut Canelo out.

    Except for KO percentage, and that little thing of GGG being a weight division bigger.

    GGG would be going down to 155 though. I thought GGG would be drained according to GGG fans. If GGG thought he had a better chance than Mayweather at beating Canelo at 155, he would have agreed to fight at 155. Floyd is just so much better than GGG that GGG being a weight division bigger wouldnt matter anyways.

    Spot on. What I think too.

    1) Floyd being "better" is highly debatable. I don't think so
    2) Floyd vs GGG @ 154 ... I don't think Golovkin could handle the weight drain. Floyd would probably clown GGG's corpse
    3) At 160 Golovkin obliterates Floyd. The weight difference is too big.

    If they were both the same weight, a prime floyd would clown him easily. Only way Golovkin makes it competitive is if he goes for rabbit punches and low blows, and we know Golovkin does not fight like this.

    :deal
    Oscar is copying this now to use as a standard clause in all Canelo contracts. You should sue.

    At 54 I'd takes Andrade & Mayweather again.
    Spence has room to move up could be interesting in the future the rest I wouldn't pick at all.

    Lara already ran and lost watching the fight if he threw more punches he'd would of got beat down so he ran away.

    Brook gtfoh I know people are trying to make him some world beater due to the GGG fight but this guy ain't fought nobody and has struggled vs them.

    Charlos wouldn't pick either one was on his way to a clear UD loss before a come from behind KO, the other arguably just lost to a guy Alvarez beat and dropped.

    Thurman wouldn't survive the body shots.

    Golovkin I feel would get out boxed at either weight to me but at 54 he'd get beat down.

    Somehow people have this impression Canelo loses to everybody, half these guys have struggled with or won't even fight some of the guys Canelo already has.

    Half the list has blatantly ducked Lara a guy who ran from Canelo, yet y'all give Alvarez sh!t like he sucks I don't get it.

    1. Agree, also Floyd is old and has not fought for a year. Yes, he's still an amazing fighter and would probably still be the best at 147 if he came back but he's not as far ahead as he used to be. I doubt his skills are better than GGG's at this point in time. Both fighters have complete mastery of their respective styles.

    2. Imo, everything depends on whether GGG's body can handle the weight loss alright. If he can, I give GGG a good shot.

    3. An old Floyd gets KO'ed against a much larger and more powerful p4p talent.

    Nobody can beat Canelo at HIS weight he is the king of super junior middleweight, he fights for truth and justice....

    All roads lead to 155.

    Off the top of my head, ring size, weight advantage, judges, home support......

    Im sure there are many more

    Im sure Amir Khan and Miguel Cotto would disagree with your statement
