    As in... would Canelo dominate Ouma? Doubtful ... I don't think anyone had an easy fight against Kassim. At his peak he was amongst the best JMWs in the world, though his best days were behind him when he faced Golovkin.

    I'm a fan of Canelo but no he wouldn't, I actually think had Angulo not been so weight drained he would have been a live Perro in the fight and not the skeletal punching bag he was.
    Geale would perplex Canelo worse than Trout, Stevens would possibly hurt and stop Canelo, Rosado Ishida and Proksa would lose on points, Macklin it would be a slugfest drawish fight.

    No he wouldn't KO Geale or Stevens, don't think he'd stop Macklin either, I think Geale could beat him actually and i say that as a big Canelo fan.

    He would go undefeated through them, in my opinion. While he would struggle with a few of the opponents in ways Golovkin didn't, I'd also fancy Alvarez to handle Ouma with ease, unlike Golovkin... Nobody knows. We'll get a better idea when Alvarez campaigns at MW full time and fights top 20 MW's.

    No. Alvarez's opposition, until he started facing top level fighters was no better. And, imo, he will not prove to be as great as Golovkin when all is said and done.

    Unlikely. He didn't exactly dominate top junior middles in Lara and Trout. Those were very close fights actually. Considering that, it's just a natural conclusion that he wouldn't dominate middleweights like Geale, Macklin or Stevens. I don't think that he could beat Geale withot the judges' help on the scorecards, and it would be very competitive against Macklin and especially Stevens, who could hurt Canelo really bad if he got careless.

    Another thing is that Canelo is actually heavier than Golovkin and they are similar size, plus his last 2 fights were within the middleweight limit. I'm not sure what is the guy doing, but he should just move up to MW brcause it is clear that he is s middleweight now, not a jr middle.

    This. When has Canelo had the balls to move up to 160?

    Lil Boosie/El Chicano must start these absurd threads just to get off on seeing people defend his no. 1 mancrush GGG.

    Trout wouldn't make it out of round 1 with Stevens, and I'm a Trout fan.

    Canelo's power is overrated. He would be a fool to fight GGG, it would not end well.

    not a fair question... is like asking canelo to fight pacs and floyds opponents, he will dominate them cuz different weight classes, you should be asking instead who has had better opposition canelo or GGG??
    and by the way canelo will dominate that opposition in the future once he starts campaigning at 160...
