    Ryder is NOT a world-beater, that I can agree on!!

      Since Canelo fight he hasn`t been hungry any more. He fights just like he doesn`t care.

        Is he? Alot of people saying he got robbed against Ryder and he's in a garbage division so he might have a couple more chances to fight top guys

          Yeah he’s past prime physically and doesn’t seem like he has his head in the game anymore.

            Are there any top guys except Benavidez?

            The division is bad and he will not make a big money fighting these guys. Canelo will likely move up, but even if Canelo stays he will fight Benavidez and GGG rematch.

            I see zero chance he gets another Canelo payday.

              He's 35, he's been through the wars, he's beaten cancer. He got robbed against Ryder, but yeah, he's done as an elite guy. Nothing left to prove with this resume (only legit world titlists listed, no secondary or interim):
              W vs Ishe Smith UD 10
              L vs Dmitry Pirog KO 5
              W vs Caleb Truax TKO 11
              W vs Sergio Mora TKO 2
              W vs Peter Quillin TKO 1
              W vs Sergio Mora TKO 7
              L vs Gennadiy Golovkin UD 12
              L vs Canelo Alvarez UD 12
              W vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr RTD 5

              If he can get a few more big paydays he should do it. Otherwise he should retire with his faculties intact. He was a top class fighter. Those wars with GGG and Canelo just took it out of him.

                Against whom? He would not get a huge money fighting somebody like Benavidez and he would most likely lose.

                Charlo, Andrade, Benavidez, all these guys are in line for Canelo payday. Benavidez would maybe fight and beat Jacobs as stay busy fight, but Andrade and Charlo won`t go near anybody good before securing Canelo fight.

                  Daniel Jacobs better not be in the Boxing Hall of Fame.

                  Won one title at 160 which was the WBA and throughout his whole career always came up short. Peter Quillin is his best win, you can’t be seen great if that’s your best win

                    He could be used as a stepping stone for bjs, Smith, Billy Joe, plant. He could also fight yildrim, dirrel, fielding or any other bum

                      The best he can hope for is a decent name calling him out thinking he's easy work or a tuneup (probably right at this point) to build up their own name.
