    Canelo`s tight guard would be too much for Turpin and he`d be getting caught by sharp counters, Canelo wins this.

    If we’re assuming in his prime I’d fancy Turpin here.
    He was a big middleweight and extremely strong. He had an unusual upright style but his fundamentals were sound, he had a good defence and he was hard hitting.
    I think this would be a fight too far for Canelo.

    You know what happens when Cinnemons fights go to the Judges.

    Canelo by SD. He could adapt awkward styles.

    15 rounds? Neutral impartial judges? Same day weigh in?

    If yes to all of these I think Turpin gives a really good account of himself.

    Agreed.
    Turpin was very strong, awkward and had quick hands.
