    Most folks will never pick Canelo over any dominant middleweight but how about the guys that were just below them:

    Sumbu Kalambay
    Herol Graham
    Steve Collins
    Reggie Johnson
    Jorge Castro

    Kalambay schools him imo. Probably so wide that the judges cant rob him.

    I think Reggie Johnson and Collins would both beat him, yet get fucked on the cards.

    Graham would a way to blow it, as he always did.

    Canelo clearly beats Castro.

    If Kalambay gets the judges Jacobs got he wins 116-112
    The other four on that list won't get a decision against Canelo

    Agreed. I think Kalambay would be a nightmare fight for him.

    He might be able to squeak one out against Johnson on the right night but Reggie would always be a tough matchup.

    Canelo vs. Collins would be one to see. Does Canelo have enough of a gas tank to win that one?

    Agree on Castro.

    How do you see Graham blowing it? Not banking enough rounds or fading and getting stopped late?
