    i always wondered how would canelo look in the 2009-2012 period when boxers like:ward, froch, direll, bute, abraham, kessler, jermain taylor, jean pascal were around, in their primes too
    would he be lineal? right now it seems like super middleweight is not really that competitive anymore like it used to be

    He would beat all of them. No one talks about these guys, no hypothetical matchup discussions, they are all forgotten. They didn't leave an impression.

    No, but they still compare Mike Tyson with the greatest of all time and all he did was to beat Spinks, lol

    Ward, froch and kessler might beat him. Canelos volune is too low.
