    Can Canelo figure out Hill or would he be a step behind and eating jabs and 1-2s like he did against Bivol?

    The latter. Probably a bit worse of Hill, too.

    Hill would beat the Hell outta Canelo at 175. I actually think Virgil Hill is underrated. Canelo would have zero answer for Hill's jab, and Hill countered with more than enough speed and power to keep Canelo honest. And Hill had a dependable chin, so can't even give Canelo a puncher's chance.

    The list of light heavyweights in history who would beat Canelo is VERY VERY VERY long.

    I wouldn't even pick Canelo over a motivated Jeff Harding, and no, I'm not joking.

    It would be too lopsided to rob Hill in all honesty. Canelo is worthless above 168. Hill would win by possible shutout.

    Canelo would lose to Tiozzo at 175, nevermind Hill.
