Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley Jr.: 'If Canelo Alvarez fights Chris Eubank Jr., he has a yellow streak'

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Sergio and Cotto were both "old" as well and out of their primes.

Thats obvious, so what’s the point? Prime or not..were elite names who ducked Ggg.

Alright fair enough You're Not a "Casual Fan"
But
You're definitely a Canelo Fan
Why haven't You given a fair unbiased Assemmented on why Canelo has not fought his WBC Mandatory of more than 2 than David Benavidez?

I think you are confusing mandatory with being ranked #1. You will recall that the IBP mandatory is William Scull. This preceded the WBC mandatory. It is reported that Canelo has reached a deal with Scull to pay him to step aside. This move allows Canelo to continue as IBFP for the time being thus enabling Canelo to fight someone else. Had Benavidez exercised his mandatory right with the WBC Canelo would have been forced to fight Benavidez in his next fight or lose the WBC belt. The WBC mandated that Benavidez choose between fighting Canelo or the Bivol v Beterbiev winner. For reasons of his own Benavidez has not exercised that right and has twice asked for an extension to make that decision. As they say, the ball is in Benavidez's court. In my view, Benavidez Jr. and Senior are whiners who always play the victim card and are a bit dim-witted.

Looks like Canelo turned 34 years old today, if he doesn't plan to actually to fight his mandatories or at least more worthy challengers that's fine, he can fight Eubank Jr, Jermall Charlo, Belanga and Pacheco or whoever, but he should stop withholding the division by not having the belts hostage.

Whatever he did in the past has nothing to do with whats going on the sport now, no one can earn the right to cherrypick in a title bout, that just sounds like fanboy nonsense. Canelo vs Benavidez should had happened by 2021-2024, quite a disappointing outcome.

Lol....you must be from Da Norf. Way Norf of the 1-10.
There is also a " Done been had" available. For special occasions.

And I remember GGG ducking Andrade. So what?

yea right..after every win Ggg was peppered with criticism and questioned by the boxing media about when he was going to fight the legendary beast Andrade! Hilarious!! Canelo ducked the beast Andrade also! Get real!!

Morrell jr was mandatory #1, regular WBA Champ and waited three and never got the call, actually mbilli was Morrell jr mandatory and refused to fight him twice, actually benavidez refused to fight him too, although I think ginger should have fought canelo before the ryders and munguias of the world.

You are one lazy casual. There are tons of commentary and articles on this, including official statements from WBC. Here is one from Boxing Scene.

You're the dumbass. WBC order William Zepeda vs Shakur Stevenson, never was activated by William. Tell mw when has the WBC had Canelo vs Benavidez go to purse Bid. IBF already asked Canelo to face his mandatory. That article talk about him still being the mandatory for Canelo, not asking Benavidez to ACTIVATE the Mandotory. This article is not that old and Benavidez has been mandatory for YEARS. Canelo is the duck who has the WBC in his pocket. He tells them what to do and that is not to force him to face Benavidez.

Your the one confused Buddy
No disrespect
Benavidez has been asking the WBC to Force/make this Canelo Fight for 2 years straight
WBC has done Nothing to assist in making it happen

Its not reasons unknown its because fighters don't have the authority to exercise anything. They can only request the sanctioning body to order the fight and nothing more. This dumb ass narrative you are pushing needs to stop. The decision for him is which division to keep his ranking in.
