        Beterbiev, Bivol and Benavidez equally give Canelo tough close fights.

        And then it’d be Joe Smith, Jermall Charlo and Golovkin in that order.

        Ryder and Andrade are equally easy worthless fights for Canelo.

                Smith Jr
                Ryder

                I have ggg so high because I see him as a real hard nights work for anyone even at this stage. I have benavidez so low because I think he struggles at the weight and would be weight drained vs canelo

                My picks are based if canelo was to fight them next

                  Same, though I'd maybe switch Joe Smith and Golovkin around. Not sure how Smith would do, it's hard to say. He's not a great boxer but he's decent enough and he certainly can crack. Golovkin might be nearing forty now but he fought Canelo twice and beat him twice so he definitely belongs at the higher end of the list regardless of age. Plus, Canelo always fights at a very measured pace which will suit Golovkin. I think a third fight between them would be more evenly contested than many people anticipate.

                  I'd probably rank Charlo and Benavidez about the same. Benavidez looks good but his best wins thus far are only Anthony Dirrell and J'Leon Love. As for Andrade, I don't think any of his wins even qualify as a "best". Even Ryder at least has one notable win in Callum Smith (unofficially).

                    He served the penalty. That isn’t exonerated. Exonerated means you were cleared on all charges. That didn’t happen.

                      He failed a drug test. There were drugs in his system. Period. You can't smooth talk your way out of it. The taco excuse just diminishes his character thousands of times more.
