    Canelo isn't even the best at 154. At full 160 I can think of 5 guys that would beat him.

    Alvarez has never beaten any fighter of his size. Lara was the closest to him in size and many had him winning against Alvarez or at least a draw.

    Canelo might win 3-5/10 against the top 10. I'm sure of those 3-5 he gets a few gift decisions though.

    Accurate but I still think he has a chance to beat the ones you said yes to. Granted not a big chance, I wouldn't bet on Canelo

    I think Alvarez has more trouble with Andrade than he does vs anyone at 160.
    Jacobs has chin problems, Eubank is a prospect, Saunders isn't as good a boxer as those Alvarez has already beaten, and guys like Lemiuex,Rosado etc aren't very good in general.

    160 is being overrated for obvious reasons but none of them guys would/should be favored anything can happen in boxing but I wouldn't bet on it.

    You clearly DKSAB or you're so biased because you're a Mexican you can't see Canelo straight. Very False.

    Canelos too short for middle, that flat footed counter attack style he does wont wirk against them big boys. Hed have to be a pressure fighter to have a chance agaunst them, but hes not very good when he has to come forward and doesnt have the stam either.

    Alvarez has shown to be better defensively than most of the top 10 @ 160 right now. Also stylewise who is Alvarez going to need to be a pressure fighter against. Most of thoses guys stylewise seem to be made to order.

    Yes but those guys have like a 4 inch heaight advantage on canelo. Hes to short and planted to counter them from the outside.theres a reason some great fighters become only good to above average when they move up in weight classes

    Angulo is bigger than Canelo. Kirkland is a big JMW too. Both shot to pieces of course, but big nonetheless.

    They also most likely have better...undrained chins, if Angulo could walk through his punches most MW's would eat them like Tic Tacs and smile.

    Also not every MW is a come forward aggressive fighters Saunders, Jacobs, N'Dam, Lee, Korobov he would have to become a pressure fighter against.
