Canelo choosing Charlo over Benavidez is a blatant duck.

    Absolutely 100 percent true. His legacy is extremely tainted.
    Personally, I think the 3 fights are going to be Charlo, Andrade and Spence at 164. Cash all three guys out. He's not fighting either David.


    And the thing is with his "legacy" After he's retired, it'll all be revisionist anyways. Even now, people say that he won all three Golovkin fights, when a few years ago they were saying "Wasn't a robbery, draw was the right score" just like they say Canelo likely did get 5 rounds against Bivol when he didn't even win 2, and that Floyd chased down a green rookie and drained him, even though Canelo had been calling him out and said he'd go down further.

      And it would have been nowhere near as big as Canelo-Benavidez.

        Canelo gets guaranteed money. The promoters care about big fights, Canelo fking doesn't

        If you get $30 for Yildrim, why TF would he fight Morell or Benavidez?

          Then why go to PBC at all? You think he went where the hardest fights are to do what?

            He beats Charlo in a hyped up fight and Benavidez fights Morell this year and wins, let’s all assume. Canelo-Benavidez does huge numbers next cinco de Mayo.

              I can almost see the tears running down your face every time you cry about Canelo.

              It's ok girl, you still can fondle Benavidez's nutsack, at least you're not ducking that.

                Canelo beating Andrade or Errol at 164 is a pipe dream

                  It's pretty obvious that Canelo is trying to coerce Benavidez/Morrell to face each other, so that he's only responsible for facing one of them. However, that may be a tactical mistake. Benavidez is the potential $$$ fight, and Morrell isn't. What happens if Morrell beats Benavidez? I think Morrell is the tougher style match-up. Would PBC give Canelo the same purse for Morrell?

                    ...he can fight him next!

                    not a big deal honestly, they signed him for 3 Fights

                      PBC would easily sacrifice Andrade because he's not one of their long-term projects, but to pay Canelo a fortune for Andrade seems a bit ridiculous.
