Obviously. Just because you're too ignorant to know the fighters and don't follow the division doesn't make them bums. Inoue, for instance, fought the #1 and #2 ranked champions in his division to go undisputed in his divisional debut, one of whom was #10 ranked P4P at the time, and the remaining guys except late replacement Kim in place of #4 ranked IBF/WBO mandatory Goodman were all the other guys in the top of the division. Canelo, after losing his cojones to Bivol, has only fought Ryder and Berlanga in his own division. Berlanga was the mandatory to his own WBA mandatory in Morrell, who was mandatory since January 2021. Benavidez was mandatory since May 2022. The fact that you don't understand the difference there says everything.

It would seem like they need Canelo to prove themselves that they’re great fighters? That’s the logic I get around here . Instead of respecting one’s own path . The hatred of Canelo on this forum is unbelievable. Welp tune in I’m sure everyone will be tuned in next fight . Ya know the usual. The bitching continues………….Comment

I have always struggled how old boxing champions can avoid hungry young lions forever by picking and choosing who they fight. In all other sports you have to prove yourself every year again and again and have to compete with all comers to become the champion once again. Not just football, but tennis, basketball, athletics etc etc.Comment

Meaning Bud can become unified in multiple divisions etc etc etc
It's just another way to promote this fight and maybe get more viewersComment

Critics should blame the IBF for stripping Canelo to begin with, also for having mandatories like Scull or Shishkin ,Canelo only wants to reclaim Undisputed for a 2nd time, but dont worry little whiners, a top p4p should be next in line, then Sheeraz/Bivol or Benavidez, all great fights, lot mfs gonna have to swallow their words soon enough and eat crow.Comment

Yes fighters have to consistently prove they are great. This is the essence of sports. this is why they have the super bowl every year and don't let the super bowl champs simply pick and choose who to play. Canelo is artificially extending his career and taking advantage of past success. Oh canelo is definitely on his own path and that path doesn't intersect with any elite fightersComment
