    Should Canelo drop his titles ?

    should canelo drop all the belts to avoid ****** mandatory fights like yirdirim?
    this will also help ****e up the 168 division, they can fight each other for the belts and then it will be easier for canelo to pick opponents...
    will you see this as a bad move from canelo? he gets acused of ducking regardless...
    if he picks benavidez, he is ducking charlo, if he picks charlo he is ducking andrade, bla bla bla...

    No. You don’t drop belts because a few idiot douchebags on NSB call you a ducker.

    Now when he drops the belt to not fight a GGG that made people mad and rightfully so.

        he will drop the belts to avoid mandatory fights, and fight the best fight available instead..
        at this point i feel he doesnt have the time to deal with mandatory fights, he is past 30 and should really pick his next fights...

          he already fought the WBC mando, so the next ones on the rotation will be David Morrell WBA, Zach Parker WBO, Evgeny Shvedenko IBF...

            I get that. I think you look at the reasonable, rational fans rather than the douchebags.

            I don’t think people would be mad if he didn’t fight a Yildirm type guy.

            I would be interested to see the reaction if he chooses say GGG3 over Benavidez or Benavidez over Bivol.

              Does Alvarez truly ever pick the best fights? And when I say best, I mean the fights where he could honestly be tested and possibly defeated. Golovkin is the only one who ever came close. As the face of boxing, he can pick virtually any fight that he wants. He can offer step-aside money to the so-called ****** mandatories and challenge himself against truly dangerous fighters. I admire his fighting ability, but he mainly challenges himself to take belts from champions that he knows he can beat.

                  is not that easy, he already lost a title to dervy , they see how much caleb got paid and all these guys are going to ba asking for similar amounts, extortions to some extent..

                    Absolutely.

                    This isn't the 1980s; maintains undisputed is not practical for a champion in the modern era, let one a massive star like Canelo. He's not going to be able to hold all four belts and still give the fans the biggest/best fights.

                    No one is trying to see Canelo fight Evgeny Shvedenko at this point.

                    Canelo is a star in the eyes of the people. Getting all four was the history book accomplishment. He doesnt need to keep them to stay the champ.
