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

[RodgerTheDodger]

There is no storyline here. John Ryder has 0.00% chance of beating Canelo. it will be very one-sided. The build up will have no heat, and there is no rivalry between them. This type of thing would never be accepted in the WWF Attitude era, an era where the best fought the best and had storylines and rivalries with the best. Nash out

I always remember the time when I was Nashing your momma then you came out, hence Nash out. You get what I'm sayin fella?

Ryder is actually 2nd ranked on boxrec at 168. Now you could argue that;s just because the likes of Benevidez and Plant never fight but that's hardly Ryders fault .. Canelo cleaned out the 168 so unless someone new comes along who's willing to take a fight or Bivol drops to 168 he's always going to be short of opposition. Credit to Ryder if he's willing to go to Mexico for a fight.

Maybe Showtime getting out of boxing with the recent changes will lead to some of the soon to be ex PBC fighters picking up the pace like .. Benevidez vs Plant that should have happened years ago.

Leave it to Canelo to cherrypick a guy who lost to Rocky ******** Fielding

NEW YORK - Canelo Alvarez might finally fight in his home country again. Promoter Eddie Hearn informed BoxingScene.com on Thursday that Alvarez's next fight could take place in his native Mexico. Guadalajara's Alvarez will return to the ring May 6, perhaps against John Ryder, and the undisputed super middleweight champion's preference, according to Hearn, is to box in Mexico for the first time in more than 11 years.

What a bullsheeit fight. I wish it could have been Charla. ( still easy work) Doubt they would have went to Mexico though.

At this stage of his career, Canelo shouldn't be fighting people that nobody in America or Mexico knows. John Ryder who?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo is done. Bivol ruined him. 40 old GGG with zero punch resistance should haven been the only tune up for Canelo at this point.

The champ gets what the champ wants and if it’s to fight in Mexico, then it’ll be Mexico and the world will see watch and pay… regardless! That’s how far the champ has come, Canelo is a living legend, ATG, and still has a few years to add to his legacy. Glad to see all the time and work has paid off for the man, and now he can do what he wants and fight whoever whenever wherever.. talk about reaching the pinnacle absolute pinnacle of your profession. That’s Canelo!!

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.

Their goal is to rob Bivol like they tried to the first time. So fighting Cheatballs at 168 is ******. It's a recipe for disaster..if at all possible they will try again to rob Bivol..

I take your point - that COULD happen. I have a feeling though that the last GGG fight showed Canelo is in clear decline and even a Bivol at 168 will beat him so clearly the judges won’t have the nerve to rob him
