Carrot top is doing it more purposefully than anyone has ever done it. He has not only fought regularly and often, he has fought tough opposition every time out. He is building a legacy very deliberately.
No clamfooting around for carrot, while Benavidez and Charlo are both waiting on him. Instead he finds another challenge with even more intrigue in it. I would expect one or both those fights in the future, i.e. if those boys behave themselves and do not demand too much. They might even take a tough fight themselves in the meantime.
Reaching out to make big challenges is exactly what Calzaghe never did, for instance, and why his career is still viewed with lukewarm enthusiasm. Canelo actually seeks challenges in all directions. That is what we all want, isn't it? He is laying down the template for all hopeful future greats to follow.
No playing coy with legacy itself, as we all witnessed from Sugar Ray Leonard when he teased the fans with fights that never came off or failed to grant timely rematches with some of the greatest fighters of all time. Canelo is much more direct about it, which is a real pleasure to witness again. Not since Duran has a boxer sought true challenges so actively. Canelo is hunting Buffalo, not squirrel. Crawford is a squirrel hunter. He should take a page from Carrot's book.
