Canelo would take that fight, but stylistically I view it as pretty rough for him.
Boo Boo and for that matter Billy Joe both have pretty quick feet, they're pretty slick, they both know how to throw a jab 100 different ways, they're both way longer than him. Most importantly they aren't as straight up & down as GGG and Jacobs. They show more angles on approach and when they're getting out of the way. Last time he fought guys like that he lost to Mayweather and arguably lost to Lara.
He's definitely improved, but I'm still not a believer in Canelo's defense and footwork. I'd really like to see what he could do with guys that are quick and long enough to pot shot him and keep the distance with their reach and footwork before he's even a threat to step in. If he gets through those guys I'll drink the kool-aid and drive the Canelo P4P #1 parade float my damn self.
