    Beterbiev has very heavy punches and is one of the most dangerous 175 lbers ever imo. Canelo has one of the best chins right now.

    If Beterbiev punches Canelo with full power, what happens?

    It's not so much just the power. Its that Beterbiev is much physically stronger. Were they to fight Beterbiev would throw Canelo around the ring like he was a teenager.

    We will never know because Beterbiev will be 40 by the time they fight.

    Canelo's chin is granite.

    But it would be the body that would be the issue here - Artur generates very hard shots from very little distance. How does Canelo's stamina handle bruised and battered ribs / liver shots?

    I voted Beterbiew KO, but it would be a body shot / accumulation damage to the body that would do it.

    Reynoso will hand Canelo a some of his beef during the fight and he'll come back and get the KO!

    Canelo is easy to clinch

    Beterbiev is brutal in a clinch and is well versed in how to throw you around and he has seen it all before so you won't catch him by surprise in the clinch.

    Can Canelo outbox him the outside, make him back up and NOT meet any firepower in return? Doubtful.

    No. The amount of steroids Clenelo has absorbed over the years have given him massive punch resistance. If GGG couldn't get him out with clean shots then I doubt Beterbiev can. Clenelo is a roid monster.

    Beterbiev could stop him but it would be an accumulation of punches rather than a straight KO

    Canelo is one of the most physically and defensively formiddable in world of boxing today. Almost impossible to knock him out.

    Clenelo pooped his pants the only time that shell of Kovalev stopped pitty patting and actually put a bit of steam on one of his shots and cracked that big stupid ginger melon of his.

    Imagine what this version of The Krusher who didn't just look like a different man but looked like a completely different species would've done to him. 100% KOs him.

    Yes, he can. If he lands enough clean punches on Canelo he can stop him.

    Beterbiev can also be stopped. I don't think any boxer is immune to being knocked out as it entirely depends on the timing and the opponent.

    Beterbiev can hurt Canelo more effortlessly than Canelo can hurt him. Beterbiev hurts people up close with really short punches. Canelo needs to load up with shots to real hurt his opponents.

    Out of Bivol, Benavidez and Beterbiev i think Beterbiev would be ultimately the toughest challenge.

    Canelo can stop both Bivol and Benavidez. Benavidez has been hurt and knocked down by a much lesser boxer than Canelo in Ronald Gavril. Who albeit has a decent punch is not close to the boxer that Canelo is. Benavidez is also very easy to hit and his style leaves him wide open to many of Canelo's bread and butter punches.

    Bivol had some issues inside fighting with Craig Richards who if he had a higher workrate and more variety in his arsenal he could have hurt Bivol more than he did. Bivol however had been out for a long time before he took the fight.

    Beterbiev has been knocked down hard once by Callum Johnson who's a big puncher but recovered and then went on to stop Callum fairly easily. Beterbiev can take a big punch and recover.

    Canelo can stop Bivol and Benavidez. I'm pretty convinced by that. I think Beterbiev is a lot more difficult because of how powerful his short punches are and how strong he is in the clinch where he can wear down and tire opponents.
