    Does anyone give any of the following a chance prime for prime, Benn, Eubank, Calzage, Collins, SRL, Froch, RJJ, Toney, Nunn, or anyone else I've missed have a chance of beating Camel Toe

    Yeah all of those will do. They all all have a chance and Roy, Calz and Toney are outright favourites.

    Jones, Toney, Calzaghe and Ward very very clear faves

    Hearns, SRL, Eubank, Kessler and Froch all have a good chance.

    Canelo is a top 5 fighter at 154 ...but anything else is kinda pushing it

    All of them could beat him, most of them would beat him.

    I’m sure they’ve all crushed a few camel toes here and there

    Who knows, but personally I'd feel pretty confident in Jones's chances. After him I'd give Calzaghe the best chance and then maybe Eubank or Toney. Nunn wasn't the force at 168 that he was at MW and I don't see the others have much in terms of stylistic advantages. Well, maybe SRL has a bit of one, but he was old and small at 168.

    I think there are lots of fighters who fought at 168 who would stand a great chance.
    Who has he actually defeated at 168 ? Callum Smith ? That's about it really.

    Canelo's an excellent fighter and would be a threat against most 168ers but haven't really seen a lot from him at the weight yet.

    There's a few guys who would have been all wrong for him.

    Canelo was green and weight drained at 154, very clearly much better at 160 and 168 IMO

    Jones too fast

    Toney counters with precision

    I'd love to see Toney and Canelo at 168.

    I really would like to see Canelo defend his 160 lb title against Jermel Charlo.
