Is Canelo vs Crawford a mere circus fight?

But he has to circle-jerk. He pretended, for example, wanting to unify with Fundora just few months ago just to give the media crumbs thinking the Canelo offer would arrive first, anyways. Then bam the WBO order to fight Sebastian came and he dismissed it. It would have been a good interim fight even just to break his one-fight-a-year cycle.
Crawford even dismantled the middleman, Hearn, and talks to his highness directly. He might as well get the fight eventually. Ball is in Turki's court.

Do you think Canelo is willing to fight Badou Jack? Somehow has become WBC champion again after a year of inactivity and is 41 years old. Or is it too much of a risk for him?Last edited by Malvado; 12-18-2024, 07:39 PM.

So again, what are Canelo's options for may?
Eubank Jr?
Mbilli?
Scully?
Or bud? You tell me which one is the best option for Saul

And it would not make any difference to the Mexican stars' paycheck.
But since none of those is happening, my preference is he should skip fighting in May. Let Crawford be pressured to fight the top guys in his own division at 154.
Looks like you don't seem to be concerned with the jump in weight. As a real fan how about asking what the other options for Crawford are? Why only Canelo?Last edited by maguirre; 12-19-2024, 12:22 PM.

I imagine he will either fight Scull(IBF Champ) or Surac( who just defeated Munguia) because he's French. Mexicans celebrate May 5th in observance of a victorious battle over the French. If Ginger was successful in staging the Mexico vs Puerto Rico(Berlanga) rivalry, I'm sure his loyal fan base will eat up the Mexico vs France on May 5th weekend.

Canelo is the A side and he determines whether this fight happens or not. That's why I'm asking about canelos options.
bud options if no canelo are just fine. So if canelo says no. Bud has fundora, Ortiz, Bakhram, charlo, boots, Spence rematch as options.
Canelo options if no bud and no benavidez are scully, mbilli, drunk charlo
And you said the Mexican's paycheck is the same no matter who he fights. But he made 30 millliin for berlanga. He'd make 70 million for bud.
im not beating the drum for a canelo vs bud fight. Im simply telling you why bud is the biggest name opponent canelo can fight since he ducking benavidez.
Any non objective fan can see that
