Canelo fought GGG and Charlo at 168 who were not even ranked at 168. This whole thing is a red herring, Canelo can make that fight anytime he wants even if David gives up his interim.

Canelo is the Face of Ducking.

He is an embarrassment to all Mexicans.

I'm pretty sure he already confirmed he wants to move back down to 168 - basically taking the easier option considering the size advantage he has at that weight. Even so, I see him as another Zurdo but with a little more hype behind him.

****** and poor article, someone on Canela's payroll !!!! Dodging and waiting for a greater purse ($$$$). Bull, has been the mandatory for almost 3 years, Canela needs to fight him or give up the title or will the WBC strip him?????

If he waits and takes a big money saudi fight vs the winner of bivol vs beterbiev it would make him more appealing to canelo. They would be equals instead of him looking like he’s begging all the time

You can see him as anything you like, the bottom line is he has been Canelo’s mandatory for a while and is much much bigger name than Edgar Berlanga, Charlo, Ryder or any Joe Schmo Canelo will elect to face.

I’ve been a Canelo guy for a long time and even I can see Canelo is ducking Benavidez.

As for the “size advantage” you allude to, it’s pretty simple - can Benavidez make 168? YES HE CAN. Period.

Canelo fought Khan, Josesito Lopez, Cotto, Charlo and even Mathew Hatton where he was the much bigger guy.

I’ll tell you a weight bully you may know of … a certain guy that fought Khan, Josesito Lopez, Charlo, Cotto, Mathew Hatton etc.
That is a weight bully.

Would you say Charlo, Ryder, Yildrim, Munguia and now Berlanga were more “appealing” to Canelo?
