Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo Really Wants To Fight In Mexico On May 6th; I Think It'll Be John Ryder

[Rebelrbg]

The best thing that could happen to boxing is for Bivol to fight Canelo at 168 pounds in September,
comprehensively whup him - again - and leave Canelo with no belts and no leverage to keep making a fool out of DAZN by getting excessive purses to fight cherry-picked opponents. It’s time for Canelo to go play golf full time and stop blocking boxing from moving ahead because of his diva “I won’t fight other Mexicans/Andrade/etc.” diva BS.

Exactly, as undisputed champion, fight the best or get out of the way.

Verus, I'm pretty sure people on here know wrestling is staged without me telling them, but still with that being the case the fans wanted the best facing the best and having storylines with them. The story gets people hyped. Mayweather's all access were great. Froch Groves was a great story, Eubank Benn (not the kids) Fury Wilder, Lewis Tyson, Ali had several, and many more. To long without any good stories and things start falling flat. Nash out

I get your point. Storylines sell fights. Drama and uncertainty sell.

Newsflash! Benavidez is not Mexican

Newsflash! Everyone talks about him fighting Benavidez in Mexico so I'll go with that because I'm not taking my free time to see where he was born and where he lives now and his parents origin. Thanks.

WTF happened to the UK?

Alotta hating bruthas in this thread. Must be that time of the month.

Canelo Unlike overrated hype jobs like Crawford, Spence, Ennis, has payed his dues. He can do what the **** he wants. No one is coming Close to his resume in this era of *******.

Benavidez is chicano which is Mexican American

lol, this a classic canelo opponent, looks like after the bivol fight hes gone back to his old habits, fighting a 40 year old then some domestic level stiff euro. you'll see the 'old canelo' back for this one, all the feints and the combos, the highlight reel stoppage, he will look like a million dollars like he always does against this type of opponent

I'm white. And cheating Canelo doesn't control Bivol.

This fight is not a formality for Canelo as everyone is thinking. Ryder is more game than Billy Joe Saunders and brings that southpaw style. Lets not forget Ryder unofficially beat Callum Smith. Judging by how Canelo performed in his last 2 fights and the fact that he is almost certainly now within the onset of athletic decline I would not rule out Ryder shocking him.

I think you might have a point. There's been talk in this thread about this fight having no story, but there is always the chance of the best storyline of all: the shock win by the underdog. Ryder can be a little slippery and, as you say, is a southpaw. I'd still make Canelo a wide favourite, but stranger things, etc.

Nobody in the UK has a clue who Ryder is.

Hilarious how Hearn was boasting it would be a huge UK fight and everyone would flock to see Canelo fight anyone, yet now it seems thats totally off the table. What a muppet..
