    After last nights fight how effective do you think Canelo will be against the following:

    Jacobs
    Lemieux
    BJS
    Charlo
    Derevyanchenko

    I think he loses to all or at least he will have a very very hard time at middle weight... ggg will be out of the picture soon so those monsters will be Canelos opponents for he next 3 years... I think he needs to move back down to 154... he is too small at 160... I feel like he can dominate at 154.... your thoughts

    Jacobs beats him worse than GGG did.
    I think he outboxes Lemieux
    BJS 50/50
    Charlo loses to him.
    Derevyanchenko loses to him.

    Yea that would be a great test for derevyanchenko and a good stepping stone fight into MW for Canelo after the ggg fight... I do want to see a rematch with ggg v Canelo again but soon, not in 2 years haha

    Both short, stocky, highly skilled with good power. I think it would be a really good fight.

    Yeah, if they fight a rematch it better be early-mid next year lol

    I think ggg has 2 more years, maybe 4 more money fights... maybe fight next in London with bjs for unification, then rematch Canelo, then two more pick them fights of his choice for money cash out fights... call it a day at 37 which woul cement him as a great historic fighter...

    Yeah could be. I think he's already started to slip a bit recently though. He's still very formidable and a hell of a fighter but I wouldn't want to see him to fight on any longer than that.

    Jacobs is the only one I can see with a chance of winning due to the height and weight advantage he'd have

    Canelo looked very sharp and slick in parts v GGG. He just seemed to gas out quite early, if he can work on that then I think he'd be very good at MW

    Jacobs - tough style, I'd favour Jacobs if 1) he can still make 160 2) that Golovkin performance was not a one-off, he's actually at that level.

    Lemieux - Canelo outboxes him

    BJS - Canelo probably wins, the BJS of last night wasn't near his best

    Charlo - I want to see more of Charlo at 160 lb before making a pick

    Derevyanchenko - brutal, brutal fight, I guess this one is likely to go to the cards and be a close/controversial Canelo decision.

    Heavyweights age slower and do not have energy intensive styles like smaller fights.
