    Tito. 154 isn't Canelo's best weight.

    Canelo couldn't knock out Trout, shot Mosley, Matthew Hatton etc.. His prime is in the higher weight clases

    Canelo was weight drained at 154 (despite playing silly games and defending his MW title at 155 to avoid GGG).

    A better test would be both men prime at 160.

    The Tito who faced Hopkins v the Canelo who faced GGG.

    Canelo takes this, probably inside the distance.

    canelo has been rocked once at 19, teedo has been dropped how many times again?
    mosley has an indistrucble chin and trout kept running so canelo couldnt ko him

    oscar won 8 rounds at least if you give trinidad every swing round, that was a robbery. joppy sucks, vargas is b level, whittaker was coked out after the oscar money came in, carr is ass, pineda is ass, mayorga is b level. canelo has beat way better fighters than tr*n*d*d

    Liam Smith would probably be the closest to prime Canelo at 154. I thinks he wins pretty handily in the end. Might have some rough moments early on, because Tito could bang at 154 (even 160) as well. But Canelo is defensively very good and has a great chin, so power isn't a major issue for him as such.

    Just my guess, though. Who knows.

    But I think the hate for Canelo is sad. He's gone after nothing but good fights in the last five years, whether you agree with the decisions against GGG or not. To hate him because you don't agree with those are a bit childish imo.

    And. yes, I don't like it when you stack the deck like he did against Kova, but it wasn't as outrageous as people here make out. And Ward is hated for beating a better Kovalev without stacking the deck (and if you mention the "low blows" it just shows you're looking for excuses where ever you can find them), so it seems like it doesn't matter. Beating Russins fighters makes you very unpopular on this forum for some reason.

    You think Tito gets to Canelo's chin? Don't see that. He's taken the best punches of GGG and Jacobs without being hurt even, so Tito taking him out... Nah.

    You left out "in my opinion".

    logical conclusion is the more appropriate phrase

    It isn't an opinion that he's taken GGG s and Jacob's best without even his knees buckling. That's a fact.

    I suppose you could call it an opinion that Tito isn't a much harder puncher than them at MW, but is it anyone who really disagrees with this?

    Yeah, it's not really I said yellow is a nicer colour than blue or anything. Canelo's chin has passed some real testa with flying colours at MW. That's nothing but fact.
