    ..if he moves up.

    Now Canelo is a big LMW. He is only 24 so it is naturally expected of him to move up at some point also considering the fact that he doesn't have many opponents left at 154 with the exception of perhaps Andrade. In my opinion it'd be unfair to expect him to just move up and fight Golovkin.

    So who should be Canelo's first opponent at 160 and why?

    Why is GGG the only one listed at a catchweight?

    I chose other, because it should be GGG at 160.

    Canelo and his team can delay it all they want but he's going to 160 eventually

    His fights are at 155 for a reason, he's done with making 154.

    He said when he officially declares for Middleweight he wants to take on the best. Quite naturally one would expect him to face GGG.

    Canelo's too short for MW and too fat for JMW, apparently.

    I voted Cotto because I think that would be a good fight and I know it would be a big fight.

    Cotto needs to fight Golovkin or Cinammon after Geale, Geale is 'okay' as an opponent but any less than those two after that would be ridiculous, I know Canelo isn't exactly a 160 fighter just yet but who the hell else would anyone want Cotto to defend his belt against? GGG has cleansed them all.
