Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: What's Wrong With Canelo? Is He Afraid of Losing?

It makes me think of something, and it'll be strange to mention.

A big Hollywood star does a big commercialised movie for box office reasons, and then does a smaller, independent film that they really are more passionate about.

Perhaps I'm talking nonsense, but anyway, I don't think a top fighter like Canelo is afraid or anything. If he does want to fight Benavidez, he is sure making him wait. He'd probably prefer if Benavidez has a tough opponent before fighting him.

He's leveraging what is left of his popularity and PPV drawing power. One more loss in today's era of casuals, and he'll be mocked as a washed up hype job. Canelo knows his limitations. He tried to get a fight with Jermall but Charlo backed away. Berlanga's team said he isn't ready. He wanted a rematch with Bivol at 175 but not 168 so he wouldn't have to risk his titles, that's a bad look for a champion. Benavidez deserves a shot. The corrupt sanctioning bodies should make him a mandatory and need to strip Canelo if he refuses to fight him. It looks like the only other two options left are Munguia and Morrell. Unless he looks for a fight outside of the current contenders with a Youtuber or MMA fighter.

He's not fighting Morrell lol - I can guarantee he'll say "what did he do to earn it?"

Fight or Relinquish!!

Team Benavidez - sue the WBC for mis-representation of rules leading to lost earnings

He just fought a tricky opponent in Andrade - someone who Canelo has avoidded his whole career

This is nonsense

Canelo just like the rest of us will know he's finished at proper non cherry pick level

He prefer 2 lower weight Charlo to be a tough opponent?

So right Mike. That's what everyone thinks. Thanks for saying.

QUOTE : “I can’t believe what I just heard,” Tyson told Marca, responding to erroneous reports that the Mexican had turned down a deal of some $60m.

Do you know what "erroneous" means??

Crawford is in business mode with easy, pick'em fights. The only right thing to do is to strip Crawford of his belts if he doesn't face his mandos.

Amazing how this still works when you update the name.

Anyway...It's always interesting to see NSB (in general) support Crawford ducking mandatories but not Canelo doing it.

Including Iron Mike who DUCKED a prime Foreman because, quote, “I’m not fighting that f*****g animal! If you love the mother*****r so much, you fight him,” Tyson, it was claimed by writer Frank Lotierzo, said to Don King when King was hot on making the guaranteed blockbuster.

Canelo should fight Benavidez, period. Maybe he's leaving him for last, but at this point it's the best fight to be made.

Bivol ruined Canelo. Canelo knows his limitations as a fighter. I honestly thinks he knows deep down that he would get knocked out by Benavidez. I think it would be competitive if Canelo got himself into great shape and fought his heart out. No one will look down on Canelo for fighting his heart out and trying to win the fight. They will look down on Canelo for not making the fight and believing in his own abilities.
