Yea,would've nice to see try and become undisputed at 160 but that ship sailed long ago. Tthere's nothing left at 160 for Mall if he continues to stay on his side of the "street" so why not. It's the best and most lucrative fight for him against anyone by far so why not. The guys massive so it's not like he's going in handicapped there. I'd venture to say he's probably still bigger than Canelo.

I think Canelo will go to CW after he's done handling business at LHW. He can't get the fights he wants at LHW at the moment and quite frankly, they aren't big sellers so he is just taking a fight with Charlo that will give him another 40M+ payday. This is a good fight, but one Canelo should win fairly clearly. Charlo looked drained as hell last fight so a move up is good for him. He's not going to be moving around so we should be getting some fireworks. Will be very impressive if Canelo can stop Charlo, who to my knowledge has never been dropped? Or at least not since he got to world level.Comment

Which fighters at LHW has Canelo not been able to secure?

Canelo deserves a tune up. Much easier opponent for him than Beterbiev, or Bivol.
I still don't like the Makabu move.Comment

I feel like LH has a lot of unfinished business up there with Smith/Bivol/Beterbiev even though Smith already fought Bivol. Canelo with Makabu or Charlo was my go to for 2022 so I’m a happy camper either way.
Canelo probably moves to LH in 2023Comment

I will never get my hopes up when Charlos involved. But this fight seems like a no brainer for both guys to make,& I'm sure Haymon will make Showtime very happy.
Charlo is clearly at the stage where he's only willing to cash in v Alvarez & nobody else,even ggg. I think Charlo fights Canelo,loses,then fights Andrade afterwards as a tune up to clear his name,then he'll fight Benevidez & retire.Last edited by kushking; 01-07-2022, 11:07 AM.Comment

I think the Makabu fight is better than the negative reception it got by fans and I'm still interested in that one. Charlo > Makabu all day as far as big fights go for sure. And yeah, Charlo can compete with Canelo.Comment
