Didn't think about that. King of 155 and 165

This is actually a really fun fight but what about February? I would rather see Canelo-Lemieux at actual 160, to gauge Canelo as a middleweight. The other issue is Canelo is supposed to fight GGG, not Chavez Jr five pounds heavier. Why not just fight GGG first? Let Chavez get a good win at 168 first, and Canelo-Chavez will still be there even if Canelo loses to GGG.

But whatever. If Canelo goes Chavez in May, GGG in September, that's a decent year after last year. I mean it's great to fight GGG but since it's two years late, can't give credit. But that's decent.

For Canelo to really win back fans after this disastrous year, I want to see Canelo-Lemieux in Feburary, Canelo-Chavez in May, Canelo-GGG in September.

Best version I have seen of Chavez Jr is the one vs Sergio and even then he got his ass kicked for 11 rounds lol funny reading these GGG fans reaction tho

At least their hero has a good fight with jacobs

I'm founding this hard to believe, at 165? All the casuals and fanboys are going to rage hard if this is true.

You have a great P4P list. I'd put Inoue or Thurman or whatever above Bradley since if Inoue was a welter, he would beat Bradley, and Thurman would definitely beat Bradley right now, but otherwise very good. Respek.

I don't mind this fight but I would rather see it after JCC jr has had two more fights at 168.

For me, September 17 sounds better than May 17 and that's if the Canelo vs GGG does not come off.

Canelo moving to a 4th division, still waiting for Golovkin to move 1lb.

Canelo aint moving to 160 to fight GGG. "Im not middleweight yet" clear duck.

We've been talking about this fight for 6+ years...I really hope it happens.

Inoue is on his way, Thurman-Garcia winner probably cracks top ten too.

I like poster defending this fight. It seems they like to see the best fight the best fight.

"Im not middleweight yet" - Canelo, not to fight GGG.

Willing to fight at 165 for Chavez jr.- Canelo

It doesnt matter if GGG doesnt get any of these two. If he fight Jacobs we true fans are greatful #1 vs # 2 Middleweights.
