Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Set To Relinquish IBF Title, No Longer Undisputed Champion

[MesicoFistology]

I do not think Clenebutol is going to fight nobodies at this point but he is also not gonna fight killers. I believe he will fight Crawford next or even go up and fight Usyk

The important thing is that whoever he ends up fighting, you will be there glued to the telephone watching his fight like a hypocrite mf lmao

Boxing belts have less meaning and are bigger props than WWE belts so the IBF ruling doesn't matter.

Probably the most ******est comment I’ve ever read on this website

[MesicoFistology]

A couple of things, why give up the belt? Isn't this the type of soft touches Canelo was looking for? Lol. IBF should be ashamed of themselves with these types of mandatories, I've seen this dude and he's nowhere near ready for Canelo or really any top SMW. And he's really boring.

You’re calling the whole super middleweight champions he too the belts from soft touches? Lol so Caleb plant is a soft touch, so is Callum Smith, and bj Saunders and Jaime Munguia who had also been a world champion is a soft touch lmao you casual fans are just embarrassing rofl

Still no one stripping fughin Canelo

The ibf had already stripped canelo years ago of their belt , maybe do your research before embarrassing yourself and looking like a dumb casual

He wants easy fights that can sell. Skull won't sell. That is why Berlanga is the perfect fight next.

Do the opposite of above me
Years ago you ****** fugh

Canelo should relinquish all of the belts that he's bee holding hostage for a few years now.
Then the super middleweight division would explode with several interesting, and competitive fights between deserving fighters.

Thank you IBF.. Canelo NEVER earned undisputed.. rip it away from him.. and let Benavidez get a shot

[garfios]

they can't because people refuse their eliminators. the ideal scenario would be one belt, ibf's rules. then everybody would have to obey them. now they can just go another route. i don't understand how all of you can bash ibf.
when someone refuses to fight, ibf kick them out of their top10 for 6 months. when ~10 boxers refuse, some of them are out of the rankings completely. they are replaced with lower quality boxers and they get a chance to fight eliminators. guys who ACCEPT and pay the sanctioning fees DESERVE to be #1 and #2. guys who refuse to fight DON'T DESERVE title shots regardless of their quality, name, fanbase...

william scull and ibf ARE NOT standing in the way of canelo - benavidez. canelo didn't want to fight benavidez regardless of everything. if you people are mad at ibf because they prevent the best fight in this division, YOU ARE WRONG! what do you want sanctioning bodies to do? do nothing for x amount of years until a champion moves up or retires? they should be even more strict. canelo should have been stripped 2 years ago. and not just canelo but this topic is about him.

enforced mandatory rule was invented because champions refused to fight their #1 challenger for way too much time. jose napoles had to wait for ~5 years to get his shot. harry wills had to wait for ~5 years and never got his shot. nino valdes never got his shot. and so on. ibf's rules are better than what we had in the "one belt per division" era. and i am not even kidding. without rankings and enforced mandatories, a champion could fight plumbers until he retire (literally #536, #748 guys) and put the division on hold. i hope nobody in the world wants that.

Napoles had to moved up in weight to get the shot, just like benavidez and Morrell jr. Nino Valdes was brought to spar with Marciano and got beat up and down, Marciano refused to give him his shot and he was the #1 ranked heavyweight at the time.

Alvarez needs stripped but not because of this. Because of the whole avoiding Benavidez thing. I wish to God fighters, Managers, and promoters would all get together and ALL boycott the sanctioning fees until those organizations all merge to create one champion per division. The idea of having "co-bests" is a bit of an oxymoron of an idea. It would also be nice to do away with half of the divisions in boxing and go back to 8 divisions. Maybe we keep Strawweight (for the ultra small dudes who are too small to make 112) and maybe keep Cruiserweight because the difference between 175 and above 200 for the heavys is quite different than jumping from 135 to 147. That would leave ten divisions with only ten boxing champions. That is a far cry from the 68 champions we now have to deal with and this isn't even taking into consideration all the "regular" and "interim" bull****. Imagine being one of these unified champs having to pay 12% (3% per belt) of your purse for the "honor" of being their champion. It's highway ripoff considering these dudes are fighting for millions of dollars. Let's get rid of this BS and go to one champion.
