    Mayweather, Lara, Trout and GGG have already gave him a few problems

    Off the top and current 160 with the Canelo we last watched..I favor Saunders, Golovkin and Charlo to beat him. Close with Jacobs only thing I cannot get beyond is Jacobs beard and fondness for quick right hands. But hey Jacobs knows all about coming in at cruiserweight too so I think it's 50-50. At 154 and Canelo facing some top guys from days gone by it can be an interesting mix. Style wise Canelo has and will have his problems with Mayweather Lara types. Fast hands long range and cagey defense. Physically you expect a wrecking machine when you look at Canelo but he really does think he's some calculating boxer. He fooled himself thinking it would prepare for Mayweather and he looked less than stellar trying it with Trout to even get there. I think Canelo needs a frontal foil and thats when he looks really devastating.

    Can see guys like John David Jackson really painting him. Winky Wright even though Winkey was somewhat stationary and flat footed..in a great way.. with defense and you had to work around those elbows, arms and a master jab ramming you in the face all the time and very sharp uppercuts. Now Fernando Vargas as much as I hate to say it, Canelo would benefit from the Vargas attack and willingness to walk through fire. Canelo gets to play boxer. Seemed like Vargas took facial damage a bit too.
