    LaMotta-Tiger. Dread to think.

    Madly, I'd probably have one or the other of these two in most of the top ten MW matches I can imagine.

    I'm personally ready for another massive fight to end on a cut.

    ???

    Given that GGG has probably the better chin and better power, I would have thought that was the last thing Canelo would want.

    He needs to make it a skills fight to have a serious chance.

    Or it could be that GGG is soft in the body.

    Mayorga had an iron chin but Tito's body shots brought him down.

    Canelo's best chances, IMO, would be to stay elusive and get in a lot of early body work.

    I don't think he can out-slug Golovkin.



    As for the OP question: Maybe Greb v Robinson.
