    Jacobs, Charlo beat him easy
    Golovkin beat him 8-4.
    As for GGG, he should beat Saunders and retire.
    He's slipping that's obvious

    His best days are clearly behind him but he still has enough to beat Canelo in a rematch. Needs to throw caution to the wind and the result will be a stoppage over Cinnamon.

    Yeah, I'd favor Danny Jacobs and Jermall Charlo over Canelo. They'd probably both lose decisions, though, on the cards.

    Don't want to take anything from either tonight as they showed serious toughness and good skill, but neither are great middleweights. Clearly a notch below the great ones.

    GGG can hang. He did with GGG. He didn't win, but he was competitive. I think he can beat Charlo and give Danny some problems. Styles make fights. Danny and Alvarez have similar styles but Nelo is a bit quicker. The problem is his stamina and height/reach. Golovkin has applies a kind of pressure that wears you out mentally and physically which is what caused Nelo to gas out and fight so conservative.

    Canelo belongs at 160. It's clear that he can handle the power and even though his own shots weren't particularly devastating he's kept his speed which is his biggest asset. I thought Lemmy would smash him, and I'm having 2nd thoughts now.

    I don't think Canelo has much of a shot vs Jacobs.

    Maybe the Vegas judges could save him, but I'm not sure he'd make the final bell.

    Jacobs is a heck of a fighter. We talk about how much Canelo has improved, so has Jacobs.
