Because it's much less risky than giving the Mexican fans the fights they want. Andrade, Charlo brothers, Lara rematch, Benavidez. They want Canelo to take the challenge from all these great fighters who have been calling him out but he won't fight a single one of them. Just keeps taking easy fights.
if fans had done a poll for next canelo opponent...

The poll would have been:
1. Andrade.
2. Jermall Charlo
3. Benavidez
4. Beterbive
5. Bivol
6. Jermell Charlo or Castano winner
7. GGG
8. Lara rematch
9. Marcus Browne
10. Badou Jack
No true fan of the sport would put Makabu on thereComment

I should have added Zurdo there as well. But Canelo has been recorded saying he will not fight Mexican fighters even though Zurdo and Benavidez have called him out a million times.Comment

- -Canelo's done polls in the past and fought fans' picks, but ain't no Canelo fan gonna quarrel over Canelo fighting Mak for WBC title as long as there is no catchweight that Mak confirms is true.Comment

The fans? The ultra casuals that a huge star like Canelo attracts (not saying his fans are casuals, just that a huge fan base is going to have a larger number of them) would probably pick a Paul brother or some nonsense. Same thing would probably happen to guys like Floyd or Manny years ago if YouTube fighters were around. Next would probably be GGG because people don’t realize he’s 40 in April and has slipped massively.Comment
