    Not when he fought Jones in 93, he hadn`t developed into the wily fighter that he would become and Toney looked sluggish v Jones Canelo is better at setting traps.

    This is stupid at that point he had already toyed with Iran Barkley and broken down and stopped elite middleweight Michael Nunn.

    I would definitely favor nunn to put a schooling on Canelo.

    Depends
    Does he get his roids?
    If he does it doesn't look that good seeing as GGG beat him twice as an old man whilst he was on them

    Hagler was about a big as Spence. Both Golovkin and Canelo would be the most formidable fighters MMH would have ever faced.
    Boxers the size of Marvin Hagler are fighting at JMW and WW.

    Follicle test is not considered reliable by testing authorities.
    Jones retired, Alvarez is still fighting. People call Jones "Roid" all the time.

    Canelo is a ginger geek manchild who plays Micro Machines with his Mexican butlers and wears pyjamas outside.

    A shot, brittle-boned Money Mayweather destroyed him without breaking a sweat.

    An ancient, shopworn GGG exposed him, only to be robbed by judges on the WBC payroll.

    He ranks well IMO.

    He would give any of the former MW's a run for their money. Hopkins, Hagler, Monzon. So h2h he may be on that level. Hard to say though, we have no idea just how good GGG was.

    At SMW, again he stacks well, I'd favour calslappy but I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo pulled it off. Toney would be a good fight.

    LHW? hmmm, pushing it. Would get wiped by prime RJJ and by I think any of the top 5 LHWs.

    No way, Nunn struggled with Starling and Barkley he never beat a fighter as good as Canelo except Kalambay and he ain`t knocking Canelo out with one shot.

    Hagler is universally regarded as one of the top 3 middleweights of all time, Golovkin and Canelo are waaaaay down that list and for good reason. Golovkin is around 15 and Canelo ain't near the top 20

    RJJ never wiped out a boxer as good as Canelo.
