Do you think Canelo could beat guys like...

"Fair question, pfp canelo is a level above those fighters and he beats them all if they fight at 154, we have yet to see how canelo does and adjusts to 160, a couple of tune ups vs those guys should tell us where canelo stands at 160 and how can he take gggs punches.."
Exactly. See once Canelo (If) canelo goes to 160 he aint fighting a top 5 middleweight. Canelo will have a couple tune up fights at 160, MAYBE a rosado/stevens fight if he has the balls.Comment

"explain your bewilderment."
I don't think Canelo will be able to push his will not having a size advantage. I think Most of the guys listed could take Canelos shots and land just as heavy and they are larger men. Has Canelo ever fought a true 160 guy? PLus Canelo would have to box in fear of actually getting hurt, something he rarely has to do ever.
I think all of those fights are competitive and not easy for Canelo.Comment

Canelo would be a favorite against all of those because of their attributes...if his chin holds up, that is....Quillin-Lemieux-Jacobs would have a puncher's chance but their overall skills are much lower.....Leeis the least skilled but he poses a problem because of his length though he's also very innacurate and uncoordinated, so I can't pick him to win even though the style match up would favor him....Sanders has the best chance to compete via skills+style because he'd try point getting....I can't see him doing any worse than Trout did that way, but with the usual Canelo scorecards, I doubt he walks away with the win...Lemieux would get iced....he either delivers himself to get KO'ed like Kirkland or waits and throws nothing and gets beaten down like he did against Golovkin. Jacobs and Quillin would have to try to catch him with something big because both have been shown to be a bit chinny and innacurate, which spells doom against a counterpuncher like Canelo.
A long middleweight with a chin and decent skills would outpoint Canelo easily but the current middlewights are either chinny, crap or small...Comment

My biggest issue with Jacobs is he lifts his chin upwards too much at times. It's why he got knocked down by Mora. It's why Pirog knocked him the **** out.
He has potential to be great, but that's his biggest flaw and what would get him a big loss vs. Golovkin.
I don't know how so many people miss this fact when they mention him vs. Golovkin and claim he would whoop that ass. Golovkin is literally the worst kind of fight for him because of that flaw. He might have power, but GGG has a tested chin.Last edited by UNBIASED BOXING; 08-28-2016, 12:09 AM.Comment
