    Who you got fighting Munguia next? Canelo has fought BJS, Plant, Bivol and GGG in his last 4 fights. There is no-one that gets anywhere close to that.

    Ryder is mandatory for one of his belts which he clearly wants to keep and who should have already fought Canelo anyway.
    Exactly.

    Canelo’s last 3 fights have been Golovkin, Bivol, and Plant. Coming off of surgery it’s perfectly fine if he wants to mix in a John Ryder (and clear out a mando.)

    No one else is held to such high standards. Freaking Jermall Charlo hasn’t fought in over 630 days.

      I was just going to type that.

        "Former two-time WBC super middleweight titlsit David Benavidez (26-0, 23KOs) is the most attractive option of the lot and currently holds the interim WBC 168-pound title. David Morrell is the secondary WBA titlist. Neither sanctioning body has been in a hurry to dictate to Alvarez to honor such mandatories."

        And that's some bull****!

            I have no problem with Canelo taking this fight coming off surgery. People don't criticize Crawford, Spence, Tank, ect ect when they take these types of fights on a consistent basis, I mean how many John Ryder's has Crawford taken on in his last fights? Let's face it they are all John Ryder.... That said, I will not be paying for this fight and Canelo needs to take on a big challenge in his next fight, if he doesn't, that would the disappointment, and I know Bivol is a very good fighter and Canelo wants to avenge that fight, but that's not the big challenge everyone is looking for, that would be Benavides granted he beats Plant which I'm expecting.

              Oh please, when Nell retired he will have a excellent resume. He will have beat many good opponents and those wins might look better over years too.
              Floyd didn't fight progressively tougher fighters each fight, he went back and forth.

                “I don’t know whose fault that is. I don’t want to mention anything,” noted De La Hoya.

                Shots fired...low-key! Lol!

                  Stop making Ryder something he isn't. He's garbage.

                    Yeah his resume full of shot fighters, smaller fighters, weight draining, crooked judges, ped abuse. Awesome resume.

                      Some might say that but then again fighting against guys for years who many claimed he was going to lose against but then came out as the victor time in time out again seems to have put a sour taste in some folks..

                      sometimes he lost but then he picked himself back up and moved forward again to defy the odds, I'm not too sure who this Ryder fellow is tbh but he has stepped up to the challenge and taken it on may it be a decent fight, the winner off this fight can face the winner off Plant Vs Benavidez...

                      happy days...
