    How does the Welsh Dragon stack up vs the current top crop of middleweights?

    Does he go undefeated or is there a potential banana skin in there somewhere?

    Thoughts?

    Beats them all easily. He's a super mid and a much better boxer than all three.

    He should beat them all.

    That being said almost any elite fighter is a potential banana skin - boxing throws up big upsets from time to time. I'd give a prime GGG the best chance of pulling of the upset of the three.

    Calzaghe not only beat all three of them, but he also beats Ward, Kovalev and Froch as well.

    Canelo's fought above middleweight, Jacobs is huge at the weight and people have been touting GGG to move to 168 for years.

    It's not my fault GGG decided to pivot himself in a single division for his entire career whilst Toney handled guys from 157 to HW.

    Slappyjoe from the 00's UD's them like 120-108(some may be lower than that because of the knockdowns)

    90's Joe, the boxer knocks them out apart from GGG, who loses by something like 119-109 SMW Hagler would lose by that scorecard as well.

    He only did the CW because JR couldn't get that to MW. Canelo is a small MW.

    Are you saying Canelo may get a 114-114? :)

    I wish Joe fought Chavez JR. I think he would break some kind of record for punches landed/thrown.

    We've never seen any of them at SMW.

    If I was a Canelo fan, I wouldn't want to envisage him fighting Joe.
