    4.miguel cotto
    5.billy Joe Saunders
    6. Gennady golovkin.

    Amongst these 6 I see the cotto and Smith fights being the more realistic for simple reasons. Saunders,jacobs,and golovkin will not entertain canelos 155/154 nonsense. Floyd will still be the A side to canelo,and will probably want the fight at 152 again,something that canelo regrets to this day. Only cotto and Smith will meet canelo at canelo weight,and of the 6 opponents,they represent the least risk. So don't be surprised if we see canelo-smith,or canelo-cotto 2 in September.
    I hope it's Smith and we get something different at least. I thought Lemieux might be next. If the reason is for Canelo to get used to middleweight, then, if he fights another at 155, that obviously wasn't the reason.

      It will be Smith or Cotto, due to Floyd being retired and the other options all beating Canelo easily (Golovkin, Saunders and Jacobs).

        I knew I felt something missing from that list. Yea I think if GGG is out Lemuiex is maybe the biggest name, most appealing fight to make for GGG. Wonder why he was left out? What are they looking at doing with Lemuiex?

          Floyd- Retired

          BJS-Jacobs- Neither can make 155 and wouldn't even entertain that offer. If Canelo is going to test the waters against a true MW I'd suspect it would be against Lemiuex or Rosado. Probably Rosado at 157. Lemiuex can't make 157.
          Nah, I don't get it, why rosado is so popular? The guy is 23-9. The only reason is he played on Creed and white.

            i'm assuming lemieux isn't named because they are saving him for canelo's first fight at 160. this list suggests the september fight will be at 155 again. that makes sept 2017 the earliest date that he'll be willing to fight golovkin

              i still think curtis stevens is a possibility if canelo wants to test the waters against a MW. He is tough but tailor made for canelo, and it seems like he may consider dropping a few lbs to get the fight, Rosado i another one too

                Canelo is going to fight whoever gives him the most advantages at the negotiation table. I'd have to assume Liam Smith. We'll see....

                  why do you act as if a fight at 155 was even offered to GGG?

                  Hint: It wasnt

                    If it ain't number six, ODH and Canelo should suck all of our d1cks!

                      How utterly embarrassing that they admit they are looking at other middleweights besides Golovkin absolutely pathetic.
