      I don’t remember seeing a thread from you complaining about it.
      Say what you want but GGG was the last elite opponent Canelo fought.

        Canelo vs Benavidez would be a great 168 War.

Clearly a very good fighter, solid fundamentals and boxing (he’s a boxer-puncher with a tendency to come forward, not a pressure fighter like some seem to believe). Jacobs is an elite spoiler and survivor. He has people calling his decision loss vs Golovkin a robbery, some somehow saw the Canelo fight as close, ofcourse a fight that could actually go either way is this years most egregious robbery.

          The division is short on talent, but I’d put Ryder up there with Benavidez as the few to watch. I think they beat the rest. Danny will make a close fight with anyone as per usual.

          Ryder is much better than > Saunders, Plant, and since he clearly beat Smith….. That’s who Canelo beat.
          Ryder should’ve lost yesterday . Against a real ouncher he’s not going far ,I think he’s packing glass somewhere.

            Bad Divsion compared to what ? The current 160 Division or 175 isnt really that much stronger.
            When you compare 168 to a past Era with Kessler ,Froch ,Ward ,Dirrell then yes its somewhat Bad. But with Canelo ,Benevidez and David Morrell Jr..you have the p4p King and the biggest Star in Boxing and two highly skilled Fighters that gonna leave their mark in History once their Careers are finished..I´am 100% sure about that

              I think his defense is too solid for that, even if his chin isn’t up to par. Has he been down before? I know he got TKO’d in his pre-roid days. Different animal today.

              Canelo might stop him due to just the level and style. He can probably slip and slide all night vs Benavidez however. And Morrell is sloppy all over last I checked, if he;s the same guy that fought Lennox Allen, Ryder stops him.

                Well ,he enters now a Rankingposition where he never was before and that means he is gonna fight Competition with Skills he never saw before.Ryder is a Journeyman who lacks alot and that will show once he faces a legit Top 5 Guy.

                What would Benavidez or Morrel Jr. do to him ? Even take David Lemiuex who still can be Dangerous for some Rounds

                  Actually I got the wrong fight ,I’m thinking about Cash for some reason I’ve been switching them up since yesterday must be old age I don’t think Cash is even in that weight class .

                    Division is not that bad. Just there is no ATG like Canelo and everyone search for some payday. Caleb, Billy, Callum, John, Danny, David all are skilled fighters.
