Give a Solid Argument for Why Either Charlo or Andrade Deserves a Canelo Fight

[Boxing fan1981]

if canelo somehow defeated briedis then the logical next step would be usyk at heavyweight. ...

Absolutely ridiculous.

Canelo is a 5’7” Middleweight and look at what you’re asking from him in order for your to respect him as a legit fighter.

Canelo should be fighting 168lb fighters, everyone else above that weight is a bonus and any victory, especially over a champion should be applauded.

Meanwhile Benavidez is out here fixing to fight Lemiux, Charlo is fighting literally no one lined up right now, or maybe he’ll fight another Jr Middleweight and Andrade just beat a journeyman.

i already respect him as a legit fighter. he had my respect while he was still at super welterweight. those other guys people mention in this thread are a bunch of nobodies in atg discussions. if canelo even loses to makabu, defeats benavidez (i feel like only benavidez is left to really clean 168) and retires, he is already an atg. what i am proposing is ridiculous but in order to make giant leaps on the atg lists, you have to do extraordinary things. beating charlo, andrade, benavidez and bivol now wouldn't add too much to his current legacy. canelo is a clear favourite over them and they seem to annoy him right now.
he already has enough money, longevity and very high peak. the only reason to continue fighting is to enhance his legacy. if canelo somehow defeated golovkin, briedis and usyk when they were 30-31, he would be top 5 ever for me (fantasy world, i know). i expect a lot from potential atgs but i respect them even if they lose.

Andrade vs Alvarez is not gonna happen. Everybody knows it.
Charlo vs Alvarez is a real possibility. Question is is Charlo willing to wait till September?

Charlo vs Alvarez is a predictable fight and a guaranteed ass whooping.
Andrade vs Alvarez is not because of Andrade's awkward style.

Obviously, you know exactly which fight fans want to see.

Andrade is too chinny

Look in the perspective of ATG leaping I agree with you 100%.

Fighting Makabu, Usyk, Artur would launch him to the top imo. That would be a defeat over a Cruiser, Light heavy and heavyweight champion.

I disagree that you would have him top 5. This would launch him straight to the top because I’m not sure who would have more accomplishments. I suppose if he became undisputed at 175 then it would undoubtedly put him number one ATG for me hands down.

Because they’re black. The end.

I second this lol.... ***

Has nothing to do with their skin color has to do with the fact that they deserve it more than anyone, been chasing Canelo for a decade, earned the right to fight him by becoming champs at 154, earned the right to fight him by becoming champs at 160.

[Boxing-1013]

They deserve it is as much as anyone else Canelo has fought recently. But unfortunately for them, they don't call the shots.

Canelo doesn’t and maybe even can’t fight at 160, so, so what?
