    I'd pick him to beat Kownacki with confidence. Probably beats Kuzmin. Hunter and Miller probably loses those ones. But not sure what you're getting at here. Clenelo held a belt at LHW why are you so peeved about people discussing a potential fight between him and Beterbiev?

    He already beat Hunter in the amateurs.

    He has unfinished business at LHW.

    He also challenged Usyk at cruiserweight lately.

    He isn't ducking anyone. He doesnt want a weight advantage or rehydration clause. Nor is he stacking the deck in his favour.

    He wants ALL the belts at 175lbs regardless of who the opponent is. Canelo dropped his belt as soon as Beterbiev's name got linked with him.

    Sometimes someone's sheer physical prescence can overcome the natural talent advantage someone has. That's why (natural) weight classes exist.

    Canelos team said immediately after the kovalev fight that they were moving back down cause canelo lost too much speed at 175. So beve beating a diminished canelo would serve what purpose exactly? Besides satisfying his detractors lust for his blood, of course. They gave up the belt, admitted he didn’t belong there, and went back down.
    None of that changes the fact that he beat the top lhw in the world at the time. Sure, now everyone is an expert on how treacherous canelo was in going after a washed up fighter who had no time to train. But let’s pull up the prediction threads and see all the experts who picked canelo to win because of all this. I’m curious, ain’t you?

    Did you not read the first part of the post? I started the whole thing answering that exact question. I’m assuming you picked canelo to win, seeing as how kovalev was washed up.

    I wanted Kovalev to win. I just didn't realise how washed up he was.

    Didn't Ricky Hatton's brother daze him once? I could be wrong. I know it was a less famous and talented brother that shook him.

    Then I assume you think canelos team did know what you’re not knowledgeable enough to have seen, right? Which means you’re knowledge is limited, which also means you can’t trust your own judgement about what happened and must rely on those more knowledgeable who are able to see what you can’t. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m trying to follow the string of logic being laid out.

    I have Canelo KO for this. Beterbiev gets irresponsible coming forward and Canelo is too skilled not to get capitalized on that.
    Canelo's gas tank is the problem here.

    Canelo needs to stay at 160 or 168.
    Why the hell isnt there a 164 division?

    Btw, Beterbiev beat Usyk once( https://boxrec.com/en/event/803449/2455666 and) lost twice, eventhough most of the boxing analytics consider their last fight in London 2012 to be won by Artur.

    So I’m correct in assuming you don’t know, and apparently need schooling, right?

    Man, why are you going around in circles pretending to be some type of psuedo-intellectual?
