    Beat him: every top5 MW has a good chance to beat him
    Get a decision: nearly impossible. He losses and gets decisions on his favour...

      None. Not with the judges on the GB payroll.

        Saunders - Stylistically this could be a tough match up for Canelo who likes guys in front of him. Saunders will be on his bike potentially outpointing Canelo for a good majority of the fight but won't be an "exciting" fight.

        Danny Jacobs - I honestly think Canelo CAN beat him but Jacobs is also a BIG dude but didn't look "great" in his last fight. It's another styles make fights type of deal. Jacobs to me is a "some-timer".

        GGG - he beat him before, he can beat him again. I'm someone who believes we've seen the best Canelo we're going to see with his assets and flaws in tact. The hope for him is GGG aging that much more when his activity slows down and Canelo is able to land more on a consistent basis without fading midway through the fight. If they were to fight this September I still have GGG winning.

        I feel Canelo will beat guys like Lemeuix, Spike O' Sullivan, Martin Murray, Andrade (was never sold on him and isn't very active), Murata.

        As far as Sergiy Derevyanchenko I still need to see more from him.
        Can’t argue this logic

          True even Mayweather struggled on the cards after taking him to school

            Charlo
            Saunders
            Jacobs
            Maybe even Murata

            A tweener is somebody who is too big for 154 but not quite enough for 160. All the guys listed beats Canelo for that reason.

            Canelo is a little fkin midget against the real MWs.

              GGG can beat him AGAIN and actually get the official win. I would favor Canelo to beat all other middleweights. He has an iron jaw and fast, accurate, powerful combinations to the head and body. Jacobs and Jermall have a good chance to beat him but I would pick Canelo to beat either of them. I don't think Saunders can beat him. Saunders is a good boxer without much power. Canelo is a good boxer with lots of power and an iron jaw.

                You are saying he loses because he is a tweener and he loses to big middleweights for that reason. That makes no sense to me. Middleweight and Jr. middleweight are only 6 pounds apart and you say Canelo is a tweener is maybe he is perfect at 157. I don't think 3 pounds is enough weight advantage to make any real difference. Overall skill is much more important that a 3 or 4 pound weight edge. Jermall fought a 154 pounds a very short time ago. How can Canelo now be a fkin midget compared Jermall? Do we really need a weight class every 3 pounds for the tweeners? I think you are placing too much importance on a few pounds of weight.

                    With fair judging many could but with bias judges no one could even Golovkin.

                    Canelo has a solid chin so no one can stop him at 160.

                      What u talking about?

                      Mayweather vs Cinnamon was obviously a draw.

                      GGG lost to Cinnamon by scores of at least 118-110. GGG only won 2 rounds in that fight.

                      117-111 was also an great scorecard vs Lara because Lara DIDN'T win the first 4 rounds.

                      118-109 scorecard vs Trout is also a fair scorecard because Trout obviously only won 1 round.
