      Clownelo already ducked Bivol and Beterviev twice to let them get old. Expect someone like Yildrim, Smith, or.Plant in his next fight..if he goes to 175 again it ain't gonna be against anyone that can fight. Dude is too comfortable fighting C level or shot fighters now

          He can't exactly age out Bivol he's younger then Canelo but Beterbiev yeah he's 37 in January.

          Smith isn't exactly the biggest threat as a champion, he quite frankly was lucky to get the nod against Vlasov, Bivol his performance against Craig Richards wasn't exactly the most inspiring and lastly Beterbiev didn't look great against Deines and might look questionable against Browne, which may trigger Cinnamon to move up.

          I'm sure Canelo feels pretty confident he could potentially become undisputed at 75.

            This is too true. Having said that, I think this man aces LHW as well. Cruiserweight might be pushing it, though…

              Hopkins has brain damage. All his predictions always fail. The guy is a self absorbed idiot. Ok, Canelo can sweep the LH's ?? Let's make the fights happen .. NOW. , not 3 yrs from now.

                  I'm not amongst those who overrate and say Canelo is the greatest ever or anything like that, but in today's era, I think he's the best.

                  After Mayweather left, he has built up his record and done a few good to great things. Now; I do think a young boxer like Ennis is more outrageously talented than Canelo, and I'm not sure how high level Crawford is, but Canelo has a few big wins in his career.

                  I think he beats Beterbiev and Bivol in exciting fights, as with Benavidez and Charlo. Now with Bivol, I'm concerned with his punch resistance, and his flaws seen against Richards.

                  With Beterbiev, he's so strong and powerful, but he gets hit and doesn't have the greatest chin, but he can match Canelo, or more so, for power and physicality. I'd say Alvarez is just too skillful for Artur. He beats Okolie and Breidis at cruiserweight too, just a different level.

                  He could probably beat some heavyweights, but not Tyson Fury, and Usyk would be difficult too.

                  Remember, he doesn't have a Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Roy Jones, Hopkins type opposition, but that's not Canelo's fault. He's still doing exceptionally well.
                  U outta your dam mind, Okolie to tall and big and is learning every fight, remember when Dewight Muhammad Quali tried fighting at heavyweight the ass whippings his short tuff ass took. Canelo beat one hand picked no discipline fighter and drunk at light heavyweight and here y’all go getting carried away. Go sit Yo assss down too!

                      Until Canelo beats Benavidez a 24 year old undefeated knockout artist at 168, most not all of you can shut the hell up! Unfinished business
