How did Munguia earn it? How did Ryder earn it? How did Yildrim earn it? How did Charlo earn it?


Stop moving the fking goalposts.

Nobody’s moving goalposts. Munguia deserves it as much as Benavidez. Stick to curling Canda boy.

[El_Maldito_Rey]

there it is

That doesn’t prove sh.it. Nobody ever offered Canelo $55 million, Sampson Lewkowicz tweeted he made an offer then deleted the tweet because he got proved it was a lie. When Reynoso called him out on it, he never refuted it.

so unless you show the actual offer from PBC/Sampson Promotions/Haymon, all this tweet bullsh.it is just that, bullsh.it.

My 2 cents...yawn...boxing politics.

[Tag, You're Hit]

I’m having flashbacks of 2017. Canelo is going to beat Munguia in predictable fashion, and they’re going to do Munguia dirty by having a pre-arranged ring walk by David Benavidez after the fight. It’ll be viral, and they will be hyping it up from May til September.

As much as I defend Canelo, Berlanga is the least deserving I believe and I would WITHOUT hesitation join Oracle and all the haters in ****ting on Canelo.

I can’t believe it’s taken this long for press row and the majority of people to realize Berlanga is average B level or low B level. He offers absolutely NOTHING to Canelo and I would be a staunch critic of that were his next opponent. I’d honestly rather take Charlo if he doesn’t Benavidez and be done with Saul.

Benny WILL be next. The pressure is at peak point right now.

The reality of the situation isn't just that Canelo ducked Benavidez to fight Munguia and, if he fights David next all is forgiven. Certainly, we'll all be in a forgiving mood should Canelo fight Benavidez in September. But, these are Canelo's last four opponents: GGG (lifelong 160-lber), John Ryder (journeyman), Jermell Charlo (lifelong 154-lber), Jaime Munguia (been at 168 for two fights - barely beat a lifelong 160-lber and then beat said journeyman who since retired). Are those last four opponents the ones the undisputed 168 lb champion should be facing when the consensus top fighters at the weight (Benavidez, Morrell, Mbilli) are snubbed? Of course not.

My point is, be mad at Canelo NOW. Not WHEN he decides to fight Berlanga next.

Should at least be fun to watch, and it's a better fight IMO than Berlanga or inactive kitten Charlo.

But that doesn't excuse the fact that the sanctioning organizations should be calling their mandatories. The SMW belts don't mean anything.

[crimsonfalcon07]

It'll be Berlanga.

Berlanga is mandatory for Morrell, not Canelo, according to Mendoza Jr. Will be interesting to see what moves Morrell makes.

So you totally ignored the reported news that Canelo rejected a 55m deal to fight Benavidez in Sept already? Thst is why he left pbc before he came back? Just pretending like it never happened and still parroting totally discredited narrative?

What is so so important about having Benavidez in Sept rather than In may that it forced the PBC to drag over a DAZN fighter and split the ppv with them and complicate everything? What is so holy about Benavidez being last?

Nothing holy about Benavidez being last.

But Canelo calls the shots.
Not PBC.
Not Golden Boy.
Not Eddie Hearn.

Check my prior posts.
I respect Canelos accomplishments.
But he's not my favorite fighter and i've critized him many times.

If I remember correctly.
You been hating on Canelo since he Supposedly would never fight GGG.

[IronDanHamza]

Decent fight.

But the fight we all want is Benavidez.

[Idunnoshet]

Doesn't matter what YOU Predicted. I had predicted Mel, Mal and Spence for the three fight deal, and last week I was actually confirmed to be correct.


Benavidez was never part of the plans. If he was, Canelo would have never signed the deal.

Please share the link where it said the PBC deal was both Charlos then Spence.

But I still stand by My prediction.

Canelo will fight Benavidez after Munguia ( unless him or Benavidez happen to lose their next fights. )

If i'm wrong i'll admit it.

But what are You predicting Nostradomus ?

That he will Never fight Benavidez ?
Or just parrotting the same old " Canelo's scared because he won't fight my guy " ?

David Benavidez needs to pull a Mosley and hop in the ring if Canelo beats Munguia. Call him out to his face for the whole world to see. I’d like to think you know more about boxing politics than you’re leading on and “earning and mandatories” aren’t necessarily enforced on the top money makers of boxing. Historically, all the money makers could do whatever the hell they want. And I imagine you know that. It’s one of boxing’s cons.

The WBC, WBO, WBA, WWF, WCW, WWE, whatever names they go by, feed off of these guys so they have no choice but to cater to them.

These guys (sanctioning body presidents) don’t have the balls to force Canelo’s hands because they know Canelo doesn’t need them. So as a fighter who wants Canelo, you have to find a way to get him in the ring yourself.

For Benavidez, the only thing left for him to do is basically call out Canelo to his face, in the ring, post fight of a big PPV fight just like Mosley did to Mayweather.

Benavidez can wake Canelo up in his bedroom and give a speech like Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York, it won't matter. Canelo will never fight him.
