    How do you think he does vs the following, assuming we actually have decent judges who aren't going to give him rounds he didn't win.

    RJJ - I think RJJ outspeeds and outboxes him with ease. RJJ UD 12, 9 rounds to 3

    Toney - close fight but i think Toney is too sharp. Toney UD 12, say 7 rounds to 5

    Ward - i favour Canelo here assuming you have a ref who won't allow some of Ward's more dubious tactics. Canelo's body attack should be effective here. Canelo UD 12, 7 rounds to 5.

    Benn - i think Benn is too limited despite his power. Canelo should outbox him to a decision. Canelo UD 12, 8 rounds to 4.

    Calzaghe - The southpaw stance and non stop punching volume should earn Joe a close decision though Canelo will have his moments with his crisper punching. Calzaghe UD 12, 7 rounds to 5.

    Froch - much as i like Froch, Canelo is a more talented fighter. Canelo UD 12, 8 rounds to 4.

    I agree with your predictions I think Canelo realistically could only beat Froch and Benn he clearly loses to the rest.
