    If Canelo turns up with food poisoning then it might be a good fight. If he’s healthy he obliterates munguia and has him punching thin air all night. Corner stoppage or brutal one punch KO ALAS khan victory.

Mbilli an Morrell and Munguia are more deserving than Berlanga an pretty sure they all beat him too - pretty sure Plant beats Berlanga, and Charlo and Bud - Berlanga shouldn't be anywhere near a fight with Canelo
      Berlanga is not in the independent top ten.

          I think that you’re in denial, sir. The entire reason he left pbc is because he doesn’t want to face Benavides, but instead preferred the drunk Charlo, who has fought once in three years, and nobody was giving him 35 mil for that trash.

            • This is the racial politics of boxing at play here. Haymon doesn’t want canelo building his legacy defeating the guys in his stable. Al blocked that ish real quick lol I commend Alvarez for the decision

                Because he knows there's a good chance he will lose and he can't use the excuse that he was fighting a top fighter outside of his weight class like Bivol. Canelo is looking for the path of least resistance because he knows his legions of fans will buy anything he throws at them. He could fight John Fury and his fans would be all over it.

                • There are so many ways to read this situation.

                  "Canelo held out for Charlo for an easy pay day, but PBC wouldn't play ball, so they split."

                  "PBC promised Charlo in writing somewhere, Canelo held them to it and when the financial issues hit them, they switched it up to Munguía, who is with Golden Boy/DAZN. Canelo probably said he'll get a bigger piece of the pie if he cuts PBC out of the picture and deals directly with Eddie & Oscar."

                  ​​​"Canelo knows the only big fight PBC has for him is Benavidez, but he probably wants to save that fight for one of his last before he retires. Maybe let David earn a title at 175, so Canelo can get him there."

                  "Canelo read the writing on the wall and knew PBC was going to have trouble securing finances for his future fights and left a bad situation."

                  Time will tell what the scenario really is. I personally hope Munguía is on for May 4th. No Berlanga, no Crawford.

                  • Everything going on with Canelo makes me wonder....how much longer will he be able to retain the whole "face of boxing make 35 million a fight" status. What has he done that was exciting or big time in years? Get beat up by Bivol, look pedestrian against Ryder, pull little Charlo up two weight classes for an obvious paycheck? Refusing to fight Benavidez for years? Now fighting lower level comp for easy wins?

                    Are his fans really this "ride or die" with the dude? It's weird. I can't figure out why anyone is still on the Canelo hype train at this point. I am a Bud fan, I am a fan of his style and skills. But in the year or two he has left, if he fights garbage fights for $90 dollar ppv's, while holding onto the belts and refusing to fight Boots after this Spence rematch is either done or cancelled... I wouldn't buy them.

                    I mean do Canelo fans think he is just such a nice guy and so cool as a person that they will give him $90 to fight crap guys? I don't get that mentality. He has become basically a joke, the fact that there is still this "get the big Canelo money fight" lottery speaks volumes to how silly his fanbase is.

                      I'm in denial about what? I been saying Munguia in May and Benavidez in September. I also will stick to what I said about Canelo ducking if he doesn't fight Bemavidez in September. You're acting like him leaving PBC all but kills the Benavidez fight, which isn't true at all. If anything, I think him leaving gives the fight a better chance of happening because now team Canelo are in a position where they can demand more money to make the fight as opposed to going by what he was due to earn with the previous contract with PBC which was 30-35 mil per fight for 3 fights I believe. I think team Canelo know the Benavidez fight will always be there because David won't be losing anytime soon an the fight has gotten big enough to where team benavidez won't take any fights they cant win to save the ticket. In my opinion, team Canelo probably wanted to finish off the 3 fight deal and NOT fight David in that Deal and fight him with a clean slate as far as what they'd demand to make that fight after the 3 fight Deal was over. This is all speciation from me, but yeah I think this may help the fight happen not hurt. Team Canelo won't take 35 mil to fight benavidez.... the fight is bigger now and wil be bigger in September. Only time will tell buy but for now, it's munguia in May
