    I can’t give an analysis for every fight but I think he loses to a good number of those

    Canelo/Wright = Probably similar to Vargas fight with Canelo winning a close decision due to his harder punches.

    Wright/Norris = Wright was a big 154 pounder and Norris mostly feasted on blown up Welterweights, could go either way but I think Norris at his absolute best could eek out a decision.

    Wright/Martinez = I think Martinez wins a decision.

    Wright/ODLH = Close fight ODLH wins via controversial decision.

    Wright/Benn = I think Wright could win this he has a similar high guard style to Watson, and I think Wright's jab would be a massive problem for Benn just like Malinga's jab was.

    Wright/Toney = Toney by decision in an entertaining technical affair.

    And finally I think Wright beats Kirkland, Chavez Jr, clearly.

    Does Canelo have Vargas' punch output?
    Or maybe he makes up for it with more accurate clean punches?

    He doesn't have the workrate but his cleaner more flashy/accurate punches would probably give Canelo the nod over Wright.

    It would be controversial though and many fans on here would be debating the result.

    Best version of Canelo at 155: Winky wins
    Prime Terry Norris at 154: Winky wins
    Tommy Hearns at 154: Winky loses
    Sergio Martinez at 160: Winky wins
    ODLH at 154: Winky wins (and Oscar always knew this)
    Nigel Benn at 160: Winky wins
    James Toney at 160: Winky loses
    James Kirkland at 154: Winky actually stops him
    Chavez jr at 160: Winky wins

    Winky comes out with only 2 losses IMO, possibly 3 as I waiver on Norris

    He might win some or lose some, but nobody here is knocking Winky out.
