    Im rating the toughest opponents for Canelo.

    #1 BJS out boxes Canelo easily
    #2 Daniel Jacobs 50/50 fight. There is a small chance Canelo gets knocked out.
    #3 Jermall Charlo 60/40. Canelo slight favorite. We know Charlo has power, but how good could he box?
    #4 Spike Osullivan easy opponents, Canelo knocks him out early.

    A fight in a neutral area where rules are not created just for him with neutral judges who don't have pre made score cards waiting for them would make any middleweight fight hard for him. Cuz he's a massive cheat and has been for years.

    I think Golden boy will give him Spike very easy fight. Charlo is with showtime and Haymon. BJS will want a ton of money. Maybe Jacobs if he is willing to fight for a low purse.

    1. That's funny. Really funny. I'm just gonna leave it at that.
    2. DJ is not an easy fight. I'd say more like 55/45 Canelo, just based on Jacobs recent lackluster performances. But I do think fighting Canelo would motivate DJ to be at his best and he could perform much like he did vs Golovkin and take it the distance, to which everybody will scream robbery when Canelo wins because well that's what they do every time a Canelo fight goes to decision.
    3. Personally I think Charlo is a tougher opponent for Canelo than DJ.
    4. Agreed.

    Saunders' style is horrible for Canelo. But this Saunders 2.0 hasn't been in with someone who is capable of countering as well as Canelo, so that'd be interesting to see. Given his size and power, I think the Jacobs fight might actually be the tougher one for him. I'm still undecided on how Charlo fairs, I think I lean toward Canelo. Spike gets stopped.

    Yeah, those punches VADA throws suck the prime right out of Canelo.
    You could say his spirit/confidence visibly deflates too.

    You guys seriously underrate Canelo. Having said that, I don't think he's a big favorite over several MW's out there. But that's also what happens when you get a division that starts heating up all of a sudden.
