This is par for the course. Clenelo doesn't love boxing. He loves money and golf. If he can blow smoke up his fanatics behinds, play golf and make money, why box? He doesn't have to anymore. He can cherry pick bums and has-beens still play golf and make boatloads of cash. He doesn't care about you, me, boxing, Mexicans, etc. It's money and golf.

Danny Garcia vs. Erislandy Lara as the co-main.....WTF? Why is this match-up STILL being shopped around?

Now that sadly Benavidez and Morrell are no longer options, what options does Canelo have left outside Mbilli after maneuvering his way out of those fights?

Canelo vs Mbili? Canelo vs Plant II? Then what?

I suppose there needs to be an even worse fight in the same card to make Canelo vs Berlanga look good in comparison.

The odd thing is that actually think Lara vs DSG is more competitive, with the heavily declined Cuban having good odds of beating the inactive and quite physically smaller Garcia.

If he dropped the belts and then just went around fighting sub par opponents we would cheer for him. What he is doing is only ruining his legacy. Unnecessarily and shortsighted.

Nah, legacy is dictated by the media and who talks the loudest (or I guess in the internet age who posts the most). The powers that be will support him because his earning potential, and his fans will support regardless. Legacy is safe.

What a disgrace to boxing and Mexicans everywhere that their adored hero has chosen to become such a puss while he’s still only in his early 30s. This is honestly worse than Mayweather vs mcgregor because at least with that fight we knew they were making a legendary pay day. Canelo is taking less money for this fight than he’d make to fight benavidez or Crawford.

This is Mayweather playbook Ortiz/Guerrero/Berto don’t get it twisted.

I'm not sure I care to watch that even if it's free...

Lara vs Garcia what a Joke. Who the hell Lara fought to be a champion lol

[boxingitis]

Except for the fact that Crawford actually wants to move up for a real challenge! What a weird comment LOL

And duck Ennis at the same time. Madrimov is not a challenge. Ennis has more skills than Madrimov.

F U C K this fight.

Trump is an idiot an a failed businessman

I'm not saying he wont be remembered as a great fighter. When we talk about him in 20 years we will all criticize this time in his career. Not letting go of the belts is where the criticism will be not his abilities as a boxer.
