      Agree totally. Both of them should.

      Canelo gets smoked by Charlo, thought right ve Benevidez and gets shut out again vs Bivol. And Beiterbiev, over quick. Usyk? Don’t talk to me lol

        I think his mind and mentality is telling him to keep building his legacy but his heart and bank account is telling him that he enjoys golf and doesn't have to get punched in the face to play it. As bad as I hate to say it because I'm not and never have been a fan of Canelo but whatever he does he earned his right to do it.

          - - Yo, monkey boy, Canelo almost always finishes stronger in the last round. It's l'l floydy almost alway backing to the ropes for breathers.

          When they gonna take U outta U BigBoys?

            The only fighter from 160-175 that could hurt GGG is Beterbiev. Even old/slow GGG is #2 behind DSG for best chins in boxing.

            With that said, you can't KO everyone.

              Didn’t canelo turn pro at 16? Plus he has over 60 fights. I think his prime was 27 to 31 and he is on his decline early.

                He looks like he’s close to retirement. His performance vs GGG was awful. But a decade of fighting top 1-10 contenders regularly to please his critics, will do that to you.

                He has fought/beaten enough champions, former champions, high risk fighters, P4P top 10 fighters, future HOFers, top 10 contenders, and has gone up enough weight classes where he can retire today as a HOFer. He’s also already a legend, in that he’s the first undisputed champion at 168lbs.

                Most importantly than being the first 168 undisputed champion, he is the first Mexican boxer in history to be undisputed champion.

                Canelo needs to stay far, far away from Bivol. Take the L. Look like a coward. Most of us who know boxing, knew before the fight that Canelo’s chances of beating Bivol were slim. He needs to end his career with Benavidez and Charlo. Not another Bivol fight.

                First of all if he loses to Bivol, he won’t get any credit for showing the big cojones he has. He knows damn well it’s an unwinnable fight. Don’t be stubborn.

                Secondly, if he beats Bivol, his critics will just dismiss the win and say Canelo fought Bivol to duck Benavidez.

                Lastly, if Canelo doesn’t fight Bivol, Canelo critics will just say he ducked Bivol and is a coward.

                Win, lose, draw, or no fight, vs Bivol are all L’s for Canelo.

                Canelo’s career is coming to an end, I agree with you, he should end it by facing the rest of the good fighters of 160-168, Benavidez and Charlo.
                Great comment

                Canelo need to stay far away of 175, he is too small for thst división

                But he can outclassed Benavidez and charlo

                  Tbh, I believe it would be very prude of him to stay away from the young pups of the division like David Benavidez at this stage of his career because he might just get stopped. He no longer appears the same. He looked like he has lost a step and very old in there against GGG.

                  He was only landing single punches at a time when a 40 year old washed up Golovkin was throwing absolutely nothing. He was either too afraid, tired or fatigued to press or take any risks against Gennady.
