Both men would give Canelo problems. Much more problems than Canelo's last four tailor-made opponents: the chinny, inactive and utterly hittable Kirkland, the undersized glass-chinned Khan, a favorable style matchup against the smaller Cotto and Liam Smith (no explanation needed here).
Canelo has never fought anyone with Lemieux's size and power. Willie Monroe just stylistically would probably make him look bad or at least average. He has good footwork, good upper-body movement and he's a decent-sized middleweight. Both are worthier challengers than at least three of the last four Canelo's opponents.
