Comments Thread For: Canelo: Showtime, PBC, Al Haymon Treated Me So Well; We'll See What Comes Next Year

[Verus]

We all know it wont be Benavidez...cause "i dont want to fight mexicans". The charlo fight is past its sell date imo. Shouldve happened at 160.

Newsflash! Benavidez is not Mexican! Let me say it again, Benavidez is not Mexican! Moreover, Canelo has on several occasions that he has no problem fighting Benavidez. Let me say it again, Benavidez is not Mexican, any more than Brett Favre is French or Donald Trump is German!

PBC has nobody for Canelo to fight that will enhance his legacy. Maybe Benavidez, if he had a belt.

GGG for the big money fight. Bivol and Beterbiev for the legacy fights.

?! GGG hasn't fought anyone worth mentioning since Canelo, not sure who would pay to see that fight. Beterbiev and Bivol are 6' tall and Canelo is 5'7 or 5'8 on a good day. It's like asking Manny to fight a belt holder at 160 lol.

[TBETroll]

Charlo has earned it though. Back in 2018; He was Canelo's mandatory challenger at 160 remember and then he ducked him for that bogus Franchise championship belt instead.

...are you serious ?

Jamal own brother, Jermell, stated Jamal ducked Canelo when Canelo was w/ GBP.

Jamal ducked Danny Jacobs when Danny confronted him at Barclays

Jamal ducked Benavidez when David accepted his call-out

Jamal ducked a Korobov rematch and really didnt impress against Dervenchenko

Jamal cant complain about anybody ducking lol

And Canelo fight anyone. Anyone

[TBETroll]

I wouldn't mind the Beterbiev fight either. Benavidez is a dangerous guy, former champ who lost his titles due to his own personal failures outside the ring. Charlo is a 2 division champ who according to the WBC rules would get a shot because he held the title while moving to another division. I agree that they haven't necessarily earned it though, but those are the names out there that aren't GGG. To be honest nobody has "earned" a shot at Canelo

Hoping its GGG3 and LHW from there. Canelo could try to be first fighter lineal and undisputed at multiple weight classes. Would be stunning.

Callum Smith is bigger than 6'...Canelo been fighting taller and bigger guys for years now

I don't know about you but I am speaking facts, proof, truth and history here. You are speaking speculation, rumors and innuendo. Fact: After Canelo defeated GGG for the undisputed Middleweight championship Jermall was his mandatory challenger for the WBC belt.

However, after fearing that Canelo would trash the WBC belt again like he did after the Cotto fight in order to avoid his GGG mandatory; The WBC created a new Franchise championship belt especially for him. So he wouldn't have to defend any of his mandatory challenges.

Even his own promoter Oscar De La Hoya confirmed that Canelo ducked Jermall Charlo. So if he didn't duck Jermall, then why did he cowardly accept that Franchise belt in order to avoid him and honor his mandatory challenge like a man in the first place?

Now he is ducking David Benavidez too.

That version of clenelo that got touched and frustrated by Plant saturday night gets knocked out by Charlo

Stop the dumbness..now we move the post to Charlo since Plant cant get the job done. The same Charlo that Derevechenko with no power gave all sorts of trouble and even the last no name guy he fought had him in trouble. If Charlo steps up to the plate, you can bet the house he is getting knocked out. Another one like Plant sitting around waiting for a Canelo payday. This Charlo is weak, the 154 pound one will give a better fight.

[PBR Streetgang]

I think it's trending towards Charlo. He has a following in Houston so a Texas fight makes sense and he's co-headlined a PPV with his brother.

He's struggled with a few inferior opponents recently but he does have the win over Derevyenchenko. He has some power and a decent jab when he gets his hands go and I think he will bring his utmost if given the chance against Canelo.

I think he loses but he's proud and he will lose in entertaining fashion. His pre-fight hype will be good at all the pressers too.

To be fair, Devry performed about the same against GGG that Canelo did. I think a large percentage of fans felt Canelo lost the first fight and other broke even or eked out a win in the second. Devry whipped GGG.
