    Cameron - Campbell at this stage doesn't look very good does he.
    Alvarez - Think Canelo's head movement and counter punching would see a similar fight to GGG expect Carl could be cought off balance or out of position more than the technically solid GGG which probably means Canelo on the cards.
    AJ - Tough one really, very similar fighters i'll say AJ based on having a few more offensive weapons and being able to get up from a KD and win. Bruno tended to freeze and eat punches.
    Zaggers - Zaggers stamina and 8 punch combos would cause Canelo plenty of problems. I see this like the Bhop fight. The better cleaner shots from Canelo but the work rate and scuffing, skidding punchers and Joe beaing on the front foot give him a narrow win on the cards.
    I didn't see enough of Mason to comment on him V Whyte. But I guy with 34 Ko's in 37 fights can hit and Whyte is a bit chinny so I'll say Mason based on a guess.
    Harison V Warrington - Harrison. Would eat Josh's punches, probably could match him for fitness and had a bigger punch as well.

    Cameron
    Froch - This for me is the toughest fight to split. You've got a battle hardened 168 throwback who fought top fighters back to back coming up against best of this generation but also the smaller man who when stepping up in weight hasn't been in with a 'bigger' seasoned fighter like Froch in his pomp (Kovalev had found the drink and was past it). Ask me tomorrow and I could say Canelo.
    AJ
    Calzaghe
    Whyte
    Harrison

    I,d go campbell hatton
    Canelo to beat both froch and calzaghe
    Joshua to beat bruno
    Harrison to beat warrington
    Unsure about mason v whyte...not seen enough of mason.

    Joshua and bruno not much between them tbh. Joshua faster...bruno better jab. Both bad chins...at least in joshuas defence his mind stays active when hurt he knows where he is even if everything else shuts down for him. With bruno his mind would go to sleep as well as everything else. Meant it was harder to stay in a fight when hurt. Still a dangerous fight for joshua. I think he,d win it tho.

    Think canelo would have had fits with calzaghe but to me he hits like a mule nowadays...with calzaghe throwing so much canelos smart enough to land on him and when he does atm its the beginning of the end. People just avoiding it because they start fighting a defensive fight against him. He,d beat froch as well...as hard as froch was....you cant take shot after shot against canelo.

    People picking Froch to beat Canelo is laughable, leagues apart
