    Spence had a close decision agains Porter, Ennis and Ortiz are unproven, Porter has lost some and won some and Bud has not taken any risks. But yet they beat Canelo who is fighting bigger skilled fighters.

      Hypotheticals are fun, until they get boring.

      I'm bored.

        In my opinion it is going to take someone durable with good hand speed and power along with skill to beat Canelo at this point as far as 168 goes. I just don't see anyone having the legs and stamina to keep him from breaking the down over the course of a full 12 rounds. And I emphasize 12 rounds because he will bank on trying to finish you in those last 2 rounds.
        You just described David Benavidez. People will be shocked how easily David beats him.

          If Plant had power, he wouldn't be Plant.

              Canelo is a 5'8 former welterweight. Those guys just aren't on Canelo's level or have his ambition.
