Canelo has an ATG chin and would probably win a world title at 168

    168 is weak as hell, of course he would win a title there. So quite a few of other middleweights.

    He could beat Abraham, Uzcategui or Fielding and win a belt but I'm not sure if he can still beat guys like Smith, Eubank, Ramirez or Groves

    I would prefer to see him stay at MW

    It's a good fight at 168 or a catchweight between MW and SMW. I'm a big Eubank supporter but I agree, Canelo would likely win, but not stop, Eubank in a FOTY candidate.

    That's the story here in a nutshell. Ward and Froch would have burritoed his pink culo, but they are gone and the SMW division lacks any true big punchers.

    Canelo can easily be outboxed by a pure boxer with decent power, fast hands, fast legs but most importantly a great chin. For heavens sake Amir Khan was outboxing and out pointing him before the KO.

    Canelo can win any title. All he has to do is survive 12 rounds and he gets a decision win automatically. With his iron chin and good head movement he has secured a victory in any fight in his career.

    Beats Degale and Fielding. Loses to Groves, Benavidez, Ramirez and Uzcátegui

    I don’t regard Rocky’s title as a legit belt but this last paragraph has proved right. Rocky Fielding is the epitome of smart matchmaking here.

    Damn you even named Fielding directly. Either you and CTFade are ahead of time or GBP are that predictable.

    Canelo is very powerfully built. And can take a big shot.

    The problem is hes 5'8" on a good day. I'd give him 5'7.5" and hes definitely not 5'9" which is his listed height.

    The best short fighters rough house the taller frail fighters. But Canelo doesnt really fight like that. To take advantage of his strength he should get rough and nasty in the ring. But he doesnt.
