Canelo, could he get it?
So hear me out. Rumor has it that Chino is pretty heavy. Like 190-200 lb type of heavy. So realistically, if he did decide to cash out in a final fight, it would likely take place at MW or JMW, instead of his usual weight class at 147. Or, in the case of him fighting Canelo, it's likely to take place at a CW of 156 lb or so. A weight that I feel that Chino could realistically make without too much struggle.
Now obviously the main issue here is that Chino is Haymon property and Canelo is Golden Boy. Oscar and Haymon don't exactly have the best relationship, but stranger things have happened. This is boxing, after all.
I think this is a realistic option for a couple of reasons. It's been stated before that Maidana doesn't really get motivated for fights against guys like Porter, Thurman, Garcia and so on. He wants BIG money fights, ones that will match or even be bigger than the paydays he got from Broner and Floyd x2.
Let's be honest for a second, from the looks of things, Canelo doesn't want to fight GGG anytime soon. So, Chino stepping in is not a bad option! Hell, anything is better than Canelo fighting Rosado!
