    False because Canelos also beats GG with ease

    Well Angulo got shook of the first flush shot landed and admitted to his corner he basically got the fight knocked out of him in the first 30 secs of the fight so that isn't exactly a good example.
    Lee looks past it, maybe a 10/11" Lee but not currently.
    N'Dam the same his last two world level opponents he got dropped a combined 10 times neither Lemuiex or Quillin have shown to be better nor have they defeated higher quality boxers than Canelo so again him losing is very likely.
    Jacobs is an agresssive boxer who won't be hard to find the 1-shot ko of Quillin was huge to say the least and is a solid matchup in my estimation defensively Alvarez is more than capable of putting on a good enough showing but I think this is the closest match up either fighter could possibly get stopped.
    Suanders really only has height and is a lesser skilled version of fighters Canelo has already beaten and he isn't as fast as say Khan or fleet of foot of say Lara. You have to factor in styles as well as attribute that go with it.

    false

    I think Jacobs and Lemieux would beat him

    Saunders, Murray, Lee and Eubank Jr might give him a close fight

    Almost certainly false, as is the case if any fighter fought EVERY fighter in a given division. However, I wouldn't pick any over him, I don't think.

    When was the last time canelo beat a B level fighter "with ease"? He drew with Lara, beat Trout by 1 point, lost 10-2 to Mayweather, knocked out Amir khan while getting outboxed (Khan is a solid B+), knocked out Anglulo and Kirkland, first being a B level fighter tht was blasted out in record time by the later, and the later not having a proper training camp or even a coach. I would dare say that, given unbiased officiating, Canelo will not beat a single fighter from top 5 of 160 "with ease". As a matter of fact, with fair officiating, I am not certain canelo can even beat the top 5 fighters at 154. Lara has Canelo's number, he drew because he was gun shy. Andadre and Charlos are big, with good reach and solid chin, excellent boxing ability. That's top 4 out of 5 that I don't really see canelo beating all on his own - without the kind of judges that score 10-2 fight a draw. So no, hell no, HET, Nein.

    Other than GGG, don't favor anyone at MW to beat Canelo. MW is called bumland for a reason.

    It depends on how well his power and chin hold up at the weight. I think BJS beats him but loses the decision. Lemiuex as much as I think is underrated is also style made for Canelo. Danny Jacobs has the potential to KO canelo or be KO'd himself. I actually think Eubank Jr has the best shot and could win just by outworking Canelo.

    I do actually think stylistically 154 is harder for Canelo as there a lot more boxers with good movement in that division.

    I'd give the edge to Jacobs and Saunders over him, @ 160 of course.

    False, Canelo doesnt beat any of the top 10 Middleweights. A view clearly shared by Oscar or we would of seen atleast 1 Canelo Vs real Middleweight fight which we havnt. He has stuck to picking fights against Jr Middles or Welters.

    Why is Lee past it? because he lost a close match against Saunders and had a draw with Quillin, don't be so easy to write him off, clearly many have made that mistake in the past.

    Whoopty doo N'Dam lost to Quillin and Lemieux, Canelo probably would too.

    Jacobs isn't nearly as aggressive as he used to be, he's very defensively responsible, unless its a guy like Mora, he could walk down and pick apart Canelo, and rarely get landed on flush.


    And when are people going to stop selling BJS short, how exactly is he a less skilled fighter than Trout and Lara? He's every bit as skill and bigger than both, and in all likelihood from what I can tell has a way better chin.

    It's amazing how when discussing Alvarez has none of his opponents struggles are brought into play, I would assume Lemiuex or Jacobs getting KTFO against lesser fighters would say more than Alvarez having competitive fights vs guys considered elite. Naturally when judging match ups both fighters strengths and weaknesses should be factored in not just one side
