    Benevidez is the only...

    Person at 160 or 168 that can challenge Canelo. I like Plant, I like Andrade...they are world class, championship level fighters. They aren’t ATG level fighters...Benevidez could possibly outwork Canelo and get a decision, but even that is iffy. GGG’s window has closed, though I do believe him to be a great fighter.

    Canelo never fights Beterbiev in this universe. He learned from Floyd it’s good to mostly cherry pick and take a risk once every few years. 40 years old G gets a rematch.

      Benavidez is not any better than Callum, another big stiff useless guy.

      If you want to see Canelo in a real fight, give him Bivol at 175.

        Billy Joe and Plant have the best chance. Benavidez is a beast and all but all he has is a punchers chance.

            I've been saying this for awhile now, The only person at 168 that I'm confident in is Benavidez. Plant is lacking something, BooBoo hasn't fought at 168 & BJS hasn't impressed me since Lemiux.

              I agree. Canelo would have to respect Benavidez' punches.

              Assuming that David's undisciplined ass can still make the weight...

                Benavidez would lose too. He's too slow defense not that great, good combination puncher but he'd be a big target for Canelo to hit just like Smith was tonight. And i'm a Benavidez fan he's one of the most exciting fighters out there but you only need to watch his fights against Gavril and old Dirrell he isn't beating Canelo.

                  Bivol beats the **** out of AlvaRoid. That's a bad matchup for him, he'll never take that fight.

                    I think Plant has the hand speed and skill to give Canelo some problems. But I don’t know if he’s durable enough to last 12 rounds. At 168 Plant is a little light in the ass.
