Canelo choosing Charlo over Benavidez is a blatant duck.

    How are you the 3rd best in a division without a single top 10 win?

    As for Andrade being active. 1 fight in 2 years is not active.

      That was Benavidez before Plant. What makes this any different?

      Morrell been calling out Benavidez, talking smack about him and his team, Benavidez going to accept or duck?

        Benavidez before Plant was a 2 time WC with multiple top 10 wins, are you a troll?

          From Benavidez's point of view, its risk-reward sort of thing, Morrell has nothing to lose and brings an interim belt which is worthless, has nine fights no real fan momentum while DB is on the verge of some huge fights, I think the whole thing surrounding who is fighting who at the top has a lot more to do with the business weighing up risk vs reward.

              I had forgotten Charlo has been inactive for over 2 yrs, looks pretty bad. Not even sure what weight class this fight is going to take place at.

                Benavidez before Plant was also a ******* addicted junkie that lost his belt twice.

                Nah, the only troll on here is you with your constant crying and complaining that Canelo isn't fighting Benavidez next.

                  If Benavidez was the monster everyone was making him out to be, he would've decimated Plant and would be signing on to fight Morrell just to make a statement. All it seems is he's pulling a Charla and waiting around for that Canelo lotto ticket.

                    The only ''good'' thing about this ''fight'' is Charlo is not old.
                    Might be considered prime.

                    There are a few fighters who had long layoffs and came back to have a decent career.
                    I don't think Charlo is one of them.
                    This has the stench of a cash out ''fight''.

                    I am very disappointed in Nelo

                      And when you think about it, avoiding a fight could be for any number of reasons and every top-line fighter avoids fights when they have many lucrative options this is not just Canelo its every superstar that ever emerged the bigger they get the more choice they have, if you ask me it inevitable, the part that doesn't sit right with me is how fans automatically think fear and with great fighters that's the last thing it is.

                      Im not a Canelo fan I just recognize where he is in boxing, as far I can tell he ain't scared of any fighter, he is an elite champion and Im sure his managerial team and influences avoids fights, not saying I like it but I know its real right across history the moment it transitioned from a grudge fight behind the shed into Prize Fighting, Duck is such a fan terminology word I never gelled with, to a fan its fear and the really top guys don't fear another man.
                      The issue that we have with canelo is, he constantly has avoided fighters, and the matchmaking has hand picked his opponents. Kudos to his team, starting with dlh, you can't call him elite because he ain't, every time he has fought a good opponent, he has struggled and in most cases got a gift decision. He has benavidez and Morrell jr as mandatories, but elected to fight the new "mando" ryder. We see this and is hard for some to praise the guy. I was not a fan of Leonard or Hearns, but I did and still do praised them. No duck in them.
