Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Says He Will Fight At 168 Pounds In 2022 Even If He Is Undisputed Champion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Canelo Alvarez won't be taking a wait-and-see approach to figure out which weight class he will be fighting at. The four-division champion at 154, 160, 168 and 175 is declaring that he will be a super middleweight for the foreseeable future.

Good thing thats plenty of great matchup for the Mexican to make in 168 even if he gets to fully unify division beating plant but also believe it will be inevitable moving back up to lhw at some point future specially if he manage to beat every top smw left

Remember when he was too small to fight at 160?

Don't like Canelo but have to admit, he's staying far more active than many of the PBC guys and is fighting the best. A shame that GGG, who i like, is not active enough

I don't think Canelo unifies this year Plant doesn't seem confident in interviews when asked if the September return was the plan he needs time to nurse his hands. Reynoso already said that the plan was to unify and then move up to 175 to fight Beterbiev once he fights Smith the odd man out is Bivol he said he would fight Canelo at 168 but I'd rather see that at 175.

The guy is 5'9. He would give up way too much size at 175. He's undersized at 168.

After he beats Plant and Benavidez, there is nobody else here.

i would go for the beterbiev fight right away if i was team canelo, he looks taylor made for canelo style and it would be a great name
