    Canelo is probably the most overrated boxer all-time these days.

    The four kings were all superior to him. I'd pick each of them to beat him at MW.

    Mayweather would also beat any version of Canelo in similar fashion to what he did in 2013.

    Jones in his prime was vastly superior to him.

    Bivol and Usyk are plain better than Canelo too and spank him H2H. Bivol already did.

    I could go on.

    Canelo's gas tank is too much of a problem with all four IMO.

    Canelo didn't even clean out his own generation @160.

    Short of over-generous judging, he loses to all 4 IMO.

    Rumor has it the judges already have Clenelo the winner by split decision over all of them.

    Sorry but no way could Canelo beat Hearns or Hagler backing off and being inactive like he was in the first fight with GGG, they would keep him on the end of their much longer reaches, Canelo doesn`t have the gas tank to stay with Hagler the way Mugabi did.

    Golovkin 2 Canelo is a problem for plenty of atg's at 160-168.

    But yeah the version Floyd fought takes 4 l's. He wasnt there yet.

    Hagler mangles Canelo especially in a 15 rounder…

    These are certainly not the four best MWs, and Duran was not a true MW.

    When I consider these questions, I always put best version at the weight against best version at the weight.

    I think he'd have a good chance at Leonard as he did not show well at MW despite the "win" over an on his way out Hagler. He'd not have much of a chance against Hagler, Hearns or the Duran that beat Barkley and pushed Hagler.

    After seeing how easily Bivol handled Canelo, the answer was easy. Bivol was bigger but not that much bigger. He didn’t bully Canelo, he outboxed him. Sugar Ray and Hagler would school Canelo and Tommy would knock him out cold. I’m biased because I grew up watching those guys and saw them at their best. Canelo would have a size advantage against Duran but Roberto was so crafty. That fight is 50-50 in a 12 rounder. All four beat Canelo in a 15 rounder.
