    Can't agree. Too many obstacles in his way.

    And he's not getting past Floyd anyway. JMO

      I cant see it. He will ride 154 till he gets cashed out
      Being too small is a myth in boxing. You got Tyson, Pacquiao, Cotto among others as examples.

      Canelo's short but has quick, and compact punches that can floor anyone not paying attention. The slower middleweights don't stand a chance.

        And how many of those slow MW's hold belts or are even in the top 10?

          That's a helluva "if".

          Matter of fact....I just think there is no chance in hell Canelo beats Floyd.

            Depends on how he beats Mayweather, if he does. If he genuinely holds his own and doesn't just win because he was so much bigger, you might be right.

            I don't think that happens at all.

              I don't know that Canelo is too big for middleweight or that he will fill out and outgrow 154. He might stay at 154 his whole career with no problem. Hagler was a middleweight when he turn pro at 18 and still a middleweight when he retired at 34. Bob Foster was a light heavyweight his whole career. Pryor fought at 140 his whole career. I know I was full grown at 18 years old and never got any bigger or heavier. Lots of boxers are the same and don't get bigger once they hit 21 to 24 years old. Beating Mayweather would be easy work compared to beating GGG.Just because Canelo beat Mayweather sure as hell would not make him an automatic winner over GGG who is probably the best middleweight in the world and will remain so for years to come.

                Sorry, I meant to say I don't know if Canelo is too big for Jr. Middleweight.
