Call me an optimist, but I get the strange feeling something is being held back from the boxing fans - something we're not privy to - and that this fight WILL happen sooner rather than later. I had half a thought that Canelo might wait until Benavidez fights Gvozdyk and then weight drain and clause the crap out of him like he did to Kovalev, or that maybe everyone is blowing smoke until after the Munguia clash. I don't know, but I do know my optimism is rarely reciprocated so it's more likely that yes, Canelo is a scaredy cat.
In either case, Canelo will be gone soon enough and there are about a hundred more exciting fighters on whom to fixate our loyalty, and until Canelo actually steps into the ring with Benny, he won't get a dime out of me. Whether it's ducking a fighter or shucking the fans, I'm just burnt out on it all.
