Last I looked Zurdo is fighting this weekend and Benavidez is fighting mext weekend. Lets just admit your gonna complain no matter who Canelo fights. Do you even watch boxing? Didn't even know Zurdo and Benavidez are booked up until Fall probably at the soonest. So get the mando out of the way. Ryder stepped up and beat Parker.

He beat Parker lmao! I guess you didn't realize Canelo-Ryder was introduced before Benavidez and Zurdo fights. Nice try tho.

Umm nope. Ryder and Canelo just was signed a few days ago. They announced Zurdo vs. Rosado back like Feb. 8th... But what ever.

I was just coming here to say that! They look like they could be brothers.

Yeah, it's a trip.

Everytime I see Hearn talk to one of his fighters he usually talks down to them but with canelo he always has that look of kid in a candy store.

[Roadblock]

Repair fight could have been against Benavidez or hell even Zurdo oh wait that is not the same since Canelo says they have fought nobody well since they have fought nobody then there is your Repair fight Zurdo

But the real question is who wins Ryder or good boy Fred Hutchings.

This is a wack fight but it’s whatever, Alvarez obviously wasn’t going to jump into the deep end after his surgery but most importantly I believe that he needed a break from the ring. His next fight is what’s going to determine we’re his head is when it comes to the sport. Either a rematch with Bivol or Benavidez if he wins his next fight are the front runners, anyone else is going to be a step backwards honestly

I feel bad for Ryder, I don’t know if the ass whoopin he bout to get is going to be worth the money. Because, he is the shortest with shortest arm length opponent canelo has faced in a hot minute! Stoppage in mid rounds

Canelo Alvarez Wants Bivol Rematch At 175, Not 168, In September
03/16/2023 - By Rob Smith

Saul Canelo Alvarez states that he wants the September rematch against Dmitry Bivol at 175, not the 168-lb weight his promoter Eddie Hearn has discussed. If Canelo is going to fight Bivol at 175, he will need to start bulking up immediately after his May 6th title defense against John Ryder. Canelo will need to put on more size because he’s going to be too small to be competitive against the undefeated Bivol like he was last time.

The Mexican star could easily force Bivol to come down to 168 to get the lucrative payday against him in the rematch, which he would likely agree to, but he wants the fight at the weight he fought last year at 175.

Canelo (58-2-2, 39 KOs) lost to WBA light heavyweight champion Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision in a successful attempt to capture his 175-lb title last May at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In the same interview today, Canelo was asked if he’ll fight David Benavidez if he defeats Caleb Plant on March 25th, and he said, “We’ll see.”

Canelo, still give him credit as one of the greatest Mexican fighters in history. Although most would probably say Chavez is above, and Salvador Sanchez.

[Bro. Steve]

Am I the only one to realize I'm just not all that interested in what Canelo is doing any more?
