Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley On Canelo's PBC Deal: "Don't Be Surprised If He Fights Errol Spence For That Third Fight"

[JT$615]

Bradley is a terrible announcer, a terrible commentator for the sport.

[PRchamp]

Canelo last 5 years as a the “King of Boxing”

signed with DAZN and went feasting on weak champs from across the pond.

signed with PBC and went feasting on smaller part time fighters who are super inactive and desperate for a paycheck.

You can pretty much thank Hearn and Haymon for these memorable years

[Hustle]

I agree.

Canelo preference is to face Mungia..

but it looks like Haymon put his foot down on Cinnamon and made him aware who’s boss, idiot let Chepo sign his rights away LOL.. if this was Oscar forcing Canelo into fights people would be constantly attacking Oscar.

Man gtfoh.

Ain't nobody make canelo pick a 154 pounder. A UK journeyman (ryder) or a 40 year old career middleweight (GGG)

If haymon was picking canelo opponents. Benavidez would be happening. But it's not. Why? Because canelo is calling his own shots.

He's not going to fight Spence. That would be cruel.

I think it's HIGHLY unlikely Canelo takes that fight - BUT...

Could you imagine, if he took it just to piss Crawford off?

[dan-b]

But at the same time he has no problem using public opinion as an excuse...
Saying that he doesn't want to fight Bivol at 168 because people would give him **** and no praise if he beat him at that weight.

I just realized how critical I have become of Canelo after being a fan of him for years.
Since anywhere around/after Saunders/Plant he IMO just crossed the line from being confident to being very arrogant.

Sounds like you're a fan of boxing rather than business - that's intended as a compliment.

I take a pretty simple approach to this. I want a so-called undisputed champion to face the best challengers in his own division, particularly when he's just had a novelty fight against a smaller guy.

Some people seem to be into the fact Canelo made Forbes magazine. If that's his only interest, that's his prerogative but I'm not interested in his remaining career and he shouldn't be allowed to keep calling himself an "undisputed" champion if all he's doing is pursuing the biggest paydays against lesser/smaller competition.

Boxing doesn't exist solely for Canelo's further enrichment.

[Combat Talk Radio]

After Spence was brutally beaten by Crawford, Canelo would be vilified by the majority of boxing fan's around the world.

Should know by now that he doesn't care what social media thinks of him. He's going to do his own thing regardless because he knows he'll get paid no matter what.

[Jab jab boom]

I don’t think Canelo picks Spence but the point that Bradley is making holds true. Canelo is about avoiding risk as much as possible. He doesn’t care what boxing fans want to see and knows that he has a ****** fan base that will support him regardless. So why take the risk when you have idiots who will pay to watch you take on meaningless opposition? Canelo and his groupies are a main reason why boxing has lost luster and why ppv’s for the so called face of the sport can’t clear a mil anymore. Self preservation is the priority over truly chasing greatness.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Mr. Haymon said Spence need retirement money

[Chavmex40]

I’m a big Canelo fight, but if he doesn’t fight legitimate 168 number one contenders, he will go in history as a regular Mexican champ! Benavidez, Morrell are the only logical options. Stop playing man!

Haymon not worried about selecting Benavidez.. Haymon is taking care of his day one guys.. Charlos & Spence.. Canelo tried to make the fight with Mungia with the Saudis paying for the fight, and Al shut him down.
