Great point Paulie

[DClefthook]

That's true. The experience of the Chavez Jr fight is what made Canelo sour on fighting Mexicans.

As long as he fights a tough opponent like Bivol next then I'm ok with it.

Meanwhile maybe the media can get on David Benavidez' ass and ask him when he is going to face a tough opponent? There's several options over at PBC...as fans we can't even get good in-house fights in this sport now? Along with all the "other side of the street" fights that we don't get?

Correction: We get great in house fights at PBC just not 160-168. You wanna know why...see post # 11. Dazn fuqed those divisions up. Pbc gives you all in house fights in the other divisions. They're giving us undisputed fights at 147 & 154. We're getting unified at 122 and 126. They're gearing up for unified at 140. After Devy-dev fuqs kambozo up it's a good chance we can get undisputed at 135. They just gave you a 130 title fight. If Wilder gets pass Helanius then there's going to be a huge scrap against Usyk for 3 of the belts. Actually now that 3G is a free agent there is no reason that his team and Charlo's team should not be in negotiations right now. Since Hearn couldn't make that fight happen Haymon will.

The irony of demanding Benavidez fights a tough opponent while apologizing for Canelo not fighting him. Hilarious. David is ranked 168 number one and interim champ, so he has clearly earned the fight. Bivol is a soft touch compared to Benavidez. Hilarious how this basic fighter is now being pumped up as top p4p. He struggled with a domestic fighter in his previous fight before Canelo.

1) Paul Williams had the accident on May 27th 2012 which is about three weeks after PPVweather fought Cotto. Floyd was the huge PPV star then and he was only fighting twice a year by then and he was also retired the entire 2008. His previous 7 fights before Cotto were Victor Ortiz, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez (the comeback fight), Ricky Hatton, ODLH, Baldomir and Zab Judah. I admit Paul Williams would have been a great and dangerous fight, it just wasn't the most lucrative. Don't forget his name is Money May. 2) Vernon Forrest was killed in 2009 when he was 38 years old and Floyd was 32 and he was right at the beginning of his billion dollar dynasty. Vernon was old, shot and he couldn't bring in the money the other fighters could. 3) Mosley is 5 years older than Floyd and if 'Money May' embarrassed him like that when he was 33 what do you think 'Pretty boy' what have done to him at 28. 4) Floyd sparred Spence and said this young lion can derail my plans to make 150 million dollar fight with Canelo, 600 million with Paq and 500 million vs Conor. He made the right decision. Fast forward 15 years where Spence is King of the Zamunda welterweights and he only should be fighting Bud, KEEF, 154 and 160 at the most lucrative bouts he can get. But there is a guy at 147 named Boots Ennis. Should Spence give him a shot. HELL NO! Let Boots prove himself against Stantionis and Virgil and the rest of the young pups. This is prizefighting baby at its finest.

Undisputed super middleweight crownholder Canelo Alvarez has made it clear that his preference is not to fight a countryman. There are several frontrunners that Alvarez could consider for his next contest, and chief among the options is a trio of

Naw, Bivol ain't no soft touch.

Canelo will likely rematch him next. What will Benavidez do in the meantime? We'll all be watching and keeping a close eye on him.

[Lefty0616]

I miss Paulie. Bring him back to boring Showtime. He's absolutely right. Canelo likes to handpick his opponents. He definitely wants to avoid top power punchers.

[DClefthook]

Tim Bradley, Winky Wright, Devon Alexander, hell even James Kirkland.

damn should I do it again?
