    Yes I've said it Canelo has no business being at 175 he's the same height as Mosley and Pacquio. He's not 5"8 he's like 5"6 really. If Roy and Canelo fought at 160 prime vs Prime he might beat Roy because Roy had a glass jaw.

    Canelo has weighed 180+ in literally all of his fights since 2015. 168 & 175 is exactly where he belongs. He clearly isn't the same height as Pacquiao, who clearly isn't the same as Mosley. Canelo is built like a tank, and is made of muscle. Comparing him to a guy like Pacquiao in an attempt to make him seem smaller is embarrassing and a perfect example of intellectual dishonesty.

    Roy at 160 would school, beat up, batter and stop Canelo.

    Canelo wouldn’t be able to catch prime Roy. He couldn’t even catch and aging Floyd.

    Clenelo can have as many as he wants and still lose every second.

    This guy was dropping a few rounds to Caleb Plant. Caleb... fucking... Plant.

    Please explain to us how in the world Canelo is beating the 90s Jones.

    And spare us the "glass jaw" teeny bopper argument, because Canelo isn't a bigger puncher than Toney.

    I don’t even think Jones need to be brought up because Canelo doesn’t even beat Calzaghe or Ward. He’d have a hard time beating Froch and Kessler as well.

    Steve Collins is even money with Canelo imo.

    I think it was Feebs who correctly pointed out that Canelo benefits from a weak supermiddle era.

    His biggest threat at 168 is Benavidez, and with respect to Benavidez but, David aint on the level of prime Ward, Froch, Kessler.

    If it was 2009, Canelo would have stayed his ass at 160.

    I think 160 would be Canelo’s absolute limit if he came around in the 80s or 90s. Especially with PEDs not being quite as prevalent as they are today.
