As for who I would favor over GGG, I go with Benavidez- I think that is a horrible match up for GGG. I would also favor Andrade at this point as I think he would have a little too much for GGG at this point.

I would favor Benavidez over Canelo at this point as well- I think Kov was washed up and Billy Joe was doing well until the big uppercut broke his orbital bone (those are the two fights that really impressed people, including me at the time). Plant is a skilled fighter but he doesn't have much power and I think the moment "got to him" and he became exhausted from the pressure (from both Canelo and the moment/lights). I give Canelo credit for taking on the big names, the kid has fought everyone around his weight for the most part.
i have ggg winning the first & canelo winning the second. i'd have ggg over david b & demetrius if they were fighting next. the only gut i might favour over ggg if they were fighting next from one fifty four to one sixty eight is zhanibek. there are others who might have a chance in a few more fights like pavel silyagin
