    Plant
    Charlo
    Ryder
    Golovkin
    Saunders
    Smith
    Fielding

    Vs

    Dawson
    Froch
    Abraham
    Bika
    Green
    Miranda
    Kessler

    I give the edge to Ward I think Kessler and Froch had much better Super Middleweight resumes than anyone Canelo beat at that weightclass.

    Would a hypothetical win over benavidez change much?

    Possibly yeah that would be a big name for Canelo's Super Middleweight resume I think it could be enough to give him the edge.

    Three of those aren’t even true middle weights. Ward is miles better than Canelo.

    He’s also blatantly ducking Benavidez at this point.

    I have brought it up beforem about something that stood out to me: Bika, Abraham, Froch, Kessler all went on to win titles at 168 after Ward beat them.
    And in early 2014 there was a moment where Bika, Forch and Abraham were the ones holding all the belts at 168.
