If Joe Saunders is ok with 157 then that the fight to make next, The other guy in the raking that can make 155- 157 is #3

All those guys would make 57 for a Canelo payday
If Canelo is going to fight twice a year in May and September and he has three more fights before fighting GGG then he will be fighting GGG in September 2017. That isn't fair to GGG to make him wait another two years to fight the lineal middleweight champ. I guess it doesn't matter that much because by then almost everybody will recognize GGG as the true lineal champ. Canelo should just make his stand and fight GGG at 160 in September 2016. !60 is the weight real middleweights fight at and Canelo is so close to being a middleweight that he should just fight at 160.
September 2017 basically amounts to 20 months; at Golovkin's believed desired pace (3-4 fights per year, to stay active), you're looking at 7 fights, on either HBO or HBOPPV, no less.
There's no way that Golovkin avoids Andre Ward, Demetrius Andrade, Erislandy Lara, Arthur Abraham, and James Degale (all fighters that I believe beat Golovkin) over 7 HBO dates.

would depend on where the fight was held, tbh
This would be a good assignment for Canelo. Have him face an awkward southpaw with movement.
Who wins?
Does Canelo really want to deal with a 5'11 (assuming that Saunders is also the longer fighter), awkward southpaw, who fights behind a busy up/down jab and good movement? Fat chance.
Canelo wins but it will be boring since he'll be patient for them perfect counters and BJS will try to keep him on the outside.
Canelo should fight Lemieux, then BJS and maybe 1 power hitter at MWIf Canelo is going to fight twice a year in May and September and he has three more fights before fighting GGG then he will be fighting GGG in September 2017.

Canelo wins in my opinion. He fights much differently than Lee. He will be throwing bombs at Saunders with both hands. He will attack with hard accurate punches and combinations to both head and body. Canelo is also a good counter puncher. The punches that almost knocked Lee out will not hurt the iron jawed Canelo that much. Canelo should win most of the rounds and win by ud or KO. Saunders is not quite as good as Cotto in my opinion.

I'd go with Canelo, I'm not sure he KO's BJS because I dont know how well he can take a punch. If Canelo isn't weary of BJS power then I can see Canelo getting a KO. IF not I can see him outboxing BJS like he did Cotto.
Canelo most likely beats any MW not named Golovkin right now. With a little more experience vs MW's, I think he beats GGG. But a win over Rosado will not be a good indicator to how he does vs Golovkin. Lee, Saunders, Jacobs, Quillin, Lemiuex none of these guys come close to beating Canelo. None of them have ever shown exceptional skills or chins from what I have seen so far.
If Canelo fights Saunders and takes the WBO belt, that just gives him more leverage against GGG. Saunders will take the fight because it will give him a career high payday so why not?
