From BJS, Jacobs, GGG, Lemieux, or any other top10 MW. Would he beat any of them?
Would you put YOUR money on him? No you wouldn't.
So **** off.
I'd have him winning a close decision over Saunders (but that would be touch and go and I wouldn't be shocked if it went the other way) I think he'd win clear decisions over Lemieux and Jacobs and would lose to GGG.
Lemieux is basic to the core, BJS can't do anything with Canelo. Jacobs would be more challenging than those two but I can't see him beating Canelo. Only one on there is Golovkin.
Anyone who can box has a decent chance of beating Canelo. I think Saunders boxes him in a pretty easy affair. Jacobs and Lemieux certainly have the power to stop him.
He'd be the favourite because of name only, not because of merit. Realistically they're all competitive fights unless Canelo shows he's much better at 160. He's was consistently outboxed by Trout and Lara, and being outboxed in some rounds by a much smaller and older Cotto. He looks fantastic against come forward Brawler types like Angulo and Kirkland, but hasn't looked great otherwise.
That being said, no-one is winning a decision over Canelo now. You can beat him, but you won't get the decision
Cotto beat one of the best "middleweight" fighters on GGG resume, Geale, and beat him down easily. Yet Cotto has lost to Canelo and other top Jr Middleweights. Newsflash Middleweight is a hot garbage division. They are not better or more talented then the guys at 154, they are just bigger. 160 is the armpit division in boxing today. There is a reason why GGG is name dropping fighterd below and above 160 because that's where the better fighters are.
To answer your question yes Canelo beats them he's more talented and skilled. Just like Cotto, Lara, Andrade, J-Will ect would. Better fighters and the money is at and around 154 why go up to 160 where even GGG admits the talent isn't there so he's calling out guys outside 160 for a reason.
