    He's already at or slightly above 155 now

      They are both excellent fighters and they have similarities but they are different fighters and different people. Both of them were good at a young age and both of them were fearless aggressive boxer-punchers. Vargas had the bad fortune to be a 154 pound champion when Trinidad also won a 154 pound title. Vargas of course accepted the challenge of Trinidad. He put up a brave fight but he took a beating and was KOed in the last round. Vargas had never been down before fighting Trinidad. After the Trinidad fight Vargas could never take a punch as good as he could before it. I think if Vargas had fought Oscar before he fought Trinidad he would have beat Oscar. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Canelo in a future fight with GGG. As of now Canelo has never been knocked down. I am a big fan of both fighters but I think Canelo is smarter and more dedicated to boxing, and trains harder than Vargas did.

        154.5 in his last fight, i think he could make 154 with no problem for the right title(wbc or ring)..

            Canelo can move around a bit and he can make his opponents miss. OK we knock Kirkland is not that great but I thought Canelo did good being slippery inside and countering
            you sound like you don't know much about Fernando vargas.

                    canelo doesn't have a win as good as winky or Ike. Canelo isn't as good as people think, he's beaten no one.
