Comments Thread For: Promoter confirms Benavidez is not in Canelo's 2024 plans

And lose their cash cow
I don’t think so

They can be forced to if taken to court, which team Benavidez should absolutely be looking into. The WBC have lost several court cases before, they would not have a leg to stand on here.

I have a weird feeling it will be Andrade. Perfect opponent for him to add to his resume.

Was thinking the same thing as I read the article. I hope we’re wrong.

And how long will that take

Which Americans are available in 160 that is not named Charlo?

He is never fighting at 160 again so its irrelevant.

Not sure but I think fighters wait around too long based on vague promises and implied threats from powerful interests. In the build up to the Taylor fight, Jack Catterall implied pressure had been brought to bear to force him to stand aside to allow the unification tournament. Although he had the legal right to enforce his WBO mandatory position he chose not to through fear of being frozen out.

I think a lot of these threats are idle and fighters should just press their position. What moral obligation does Benavidez have to let Al Haymon promote Canelo as an "undisputed" champion against weaker opponents?

Is Al Haymon really broke?

"Canelo Canelo Canelo"!! That's what happens when you run your mouth too much Sampson, next time STFU and maybe your fighter would have gotten a shot, remember Canelo and the Reynoso's don't need Benavidez, he's been effectively removed from the equation.... Charlo, Munguia, Crawford 2024/2025 is booked brother man!!

Canelo isn't fighting in 160, but could be bringing up a chump from 160 to 168.

Elijah Garcia is nowhere near ready.
