canelo is the obvious favourite but he's been fighting a long time, since he was around fifteen. canelo has always struggled with guys with good movement & fundamentals. the weight will be a big factor but to me canelo shouldn't really be above middle. you're right about making the weight work for you, canelo's style doesn't make it a huge advantage. only casuals will try to compare amir with bud. amir was getting knocked out at lightweight. it's debatable if bud has been hurt or dropped. some say he was hurt against yuriorkis & dropped against egidijus, both disputable. i think you & i were both calling out how difficult dmitry was going to be. i'm hoping bud brings out the best of canelo & he has one last explosive performance in him, he hasn't stopped anyone since caleb. i just hope it's a good fight
