    well calzaghe ward froch were good at the weight and a few others, this bunch not so good, rocky fielding, smith, billy hoe, plant, not really p4p stuff is it, its pretty weak to be fair & nelo is very good so a mismatch really, ironically MW has better guys and so does LHW, so nelo right in the middle with all the belts!

      Canelo is a very good fighter, but Plant, Callum and Saunders are poor opposition. They were just there to make money and make Canelo even better than he is.

      The fact Canelo looked ordinary fighting Lara and GGG tells you everything you need to know.

        You can't really knock Canelo, he fought who held the belts, there is not much else he could do at the weight class. He also beat them up which he should get credit for as well. 160 really has the better fighters but none of them dudes wanna fight each other so it's a wasteland and not worth his time really. Andrade and Charlo keep fighting bums while calling Canelo out. Here is an idea, fight one another and the winner has a good argument for the canelo fight

          Canelo didn't have his man strength then, he was still a kid and hadn't filled out. You can tell 168 is his optimum fighting weight. He could've stayed trim with a little less mass at 160 imo but I can't see him getting back down there again now.

            STFU.

            Give the MAN his props.
            Imagine a 168lbs... And Canelo would WHOOP his azz.

              Exactly, nelo beat the man at 160 who was ggg, 2 great fights imo & deserved a third, but those other guys charlo and andrade are playing a different game, no point in canelo hanging around for them, he already offered fights to charlo as far as i know so moving up was the correct thing to do & hes dominated doing it as well, u cant knock him for his achievements but freezing out ggg was a bit poor imo, even old ggg does better than a lot of those guys id say, if he beat a few of those guys at LHW, then that would be very impressive
