Coppinger: Canelo Turns Down PBC Offer…Duck

[JakeTheBoxer]

Respectfully, I disagree because why else would he be the 1st fight if there was a chance he’d beat Canelo?

Bivol and Beterbiev.

Charlo is a middleweight .

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Smfh golovkin shouldn't even bless that hypejob with a third fight

[BigDramaShow!]

It's a no brainer. Charlo and Benavidez would knock the snout out of Alvaroids.

That's why Clenelo chise Eurobum Bivol and 40yr old Golovkin as his next cherrypicks.

because ggg isnt available for may, he has lined up a fight with murata to unify titles... besides im sure canelo has no doubt on beating bivol regardless if its the most difficult out of the bunch, remember canelo fought austin trout when he was already in line for a floyd fight, so im sure he has enough confidence on him self ... if i was canelo i will fight charlo first, then ggg at 168, then move to 175 permanently and fight bivol and continue the road for undisputed at the weight.. the problem seems to be charlo messed up that option...

Ok. Yeah I agree as well you go from Bivol to the winner of Smith/Bieterbiev to unify 175.

According to Mike Coppinger, Canelo had declined over 100M to face Charlo and then Benavidez. He’s taking less money with DAZN (rumoured to be 85M) for the Bivol and shot GGG fights.

let’s be honest here. Reynoso screaming about Benavidez and his comments regarding him, reminded me of Mickey screaming about Clubber Lang in Rocky 3. Reynoso is smart and a damn good trainer/manager, he’s protecting Canelo from Benavidez. Win or lose Benavidez will put Canelo through things in the ring he’s never faced. It would be a war. Canelo could not play his finesse games and pick his spots. Benavidez is a terminator. That’s why Floyd, Bradley and most boxers feel Benavidez is Canelo’s toughest fight. He’s not the flashiest or most technical but he’s a warrior that doesn’t stop coming.

I like Canelo a lot, but this is a clear duck and a bad look. I don’t think he’s afraid, I think Reynoso is. Bivol is a safe fight, a chess match. Bivol is overrated and looks washed up. GGG is completely shot and you could argue has won 2 of his last 4 fights. Disappointing that Canelo and his team ran away from more money and better exposure.

Y ain't they taught U not to suck in public?

[STREET CLEANER]

Don't know how some here are running so high on Benavides. The amount of times that he gets hit and to make it worst for him he will come forward towards and excellent counter puncher. Legs are the only thing that could beat Canelo.

[Sctrojan]

Find it hard to believe PBC offered over a hundred goddamn million to have him face Charlo and Benavidez lmao. If true no wonder PBC is taking on water. How n the fuch does 600K buys cover that kinda nonsense.....you're right,IT DOESN'T! Bivol is by far yhe hardest fight of that bunch and like I've said,I don't see Canelo wanting that smoke. All the praise from this side if he accepts that offer. Bivol is too skilled and too prime.

[tonysoprano]

Why don't Charlo and Benavidez fight each other then the winner fight Canelo. That will be a much tastier fight to promote.

[QballLobo]

Bivol is the much tougher fight. Benevidez is tailer made for Canelo. Big tall guy that would be wide open for counters. Canelo beats him to the punch all night and folds him.
Plus if we’re talking a DAZN PPV I’m sure it’s not just a flat fee and some upside involved. GGG is still a bigger name than Charlo or Benevidez so it may be the same money or more.
Haymon, PBC, and those fights would still be there for him. Benefit of being a free agent. Take what you feel is the best deal.
Plus from what I’ve heard (I know some people that know some people) Canelo still doesn’t fully trust Haymon and is reluctant to do more than a fight by fight deal.

[The tucker]

Bivol & GGG >>> Benavidez & Mall Charlo.

Nobody really heard of bivol until the canelo sweepstakes and ggg has done absolutely nothing since the last canelo fight plus we seen them go 24 rounds allready without the drama and excitement wilder and fury had for a trilogy.

I think he just made a huge financial mistake.
