Comments Thread For: Hearn: Ryder is Perfect Fight For Canelo Before a Bivol Rematch

[garfios]

While Canelo likes to think he calls all the shots - and Hearn is more than happy to grovel at Canelo’s feet and make him think that way, too - the fact is DAZN holds the real power and it needs to start using it by showing some cojones for a change. It should tell Hearn it has no interest in a Ryder fight and tell Canelo to either go straight into a Bivol fight for May or fight someone like Munguia on May. No one wants to see a Canelo-Ryder fight wherever it’s held.

munguia? Why not benavidez or Morell jr.?

Terrence Crawford can get away fighting a euro bum like Avenysyan and the BLK community praises him lmao but canelo does the same and he gets slaughtered smh the irony

since the Lara fight, that's all canelo has fought, except for plant, which is a good fighter, not elite, but a good fighter, he might even got better by the defeat.

Ryder was robbed against Fielding and schooled Danny Jacobs. I have DAZN.

He loss to a bum

According to who?

Every Canelo fan going into the fight, and Canelo himself.

About the best people can say about the fight is that they're happy for John Ryder.

I guess Canelo has obligations at 168, but I was hoping for a fight vs a contender at 175 . "Earn" the rematch, convince people at LHW. .

The only thing I can say is that just idea that Canelo was going to sit out for the first quarter of 2023 might have prompted Benavidez/Plant to make a fight, so that is some good coming out of this. Those guys can write a script of their own and add some depth to the sport/division, I'm very excited for that.

Why are we talking about Janibek, Munguía, etc? Those guys are middleweight, not super middle.

Canelo's mandatories would be the winner of Plant v Benavidez, Ryder, and David Morrell, with William Scull currently at the top of the IBF.

Benavidez is already scheduled to fight Plant. If he wins that, Canelo should definitely have to fight him or vacate. He and David Morrell are the ranked contenders with the biggest names that he hasn't faced already. Ryder is a reasonable tune-up to test out his wrist health. Certainly better than Yildirim (or Scull, who hasn't fought anybody, and has a very flat jerky style that's IMO not ready for the top level; how the IBF has him ranked above the other top guys, especially Plant who was their champ, is crazy).

I'd want revenge.

I can assure you Nelo wants revenge as well.

[BodyBagz]

He's never fought no one end when he did, he simply lost. Sometimes he was given a gift, but he clearly lost.

Nelo's resume is terrible.

I'm sure a non hating, true boxing fan like yourself can name at least 3 fighters with better resumes (including details). Naming the 3 without going into detail is pure weak sauce.
