Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez will fight William Scull on May 3rd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Another non event from this aging grifter. Losing 10 rounds and being humiliated by Bivol wasn’t enough. His Frankie Randall moment is coming when he will be parked on his ass and fans will celebrate.

Assuming it's actually official with signatures on contracts, this was the obvious move, to make later fights look bigger because they'll be "for undisputed". And the sell for Scull will likely look something like "he was just a mandatory before but he beat another undefeated top contender blah blah so now he's a champion blah blah". And Canelo gets to claim he's a two time undisputed super middleweight champion and add another "undefeated champion" to his resume.

I'm guessing that Crawford will be the September fight.

If he actually fights any of Benavidez, Bivol, or Beterbiev I'll give him some props. But I doubt it. We'll see what Turki will let him get away with.

I'm not going to knock Canelo because at this point of his career his legacy is secure. This is just a money grab plain and simple. Scull and Crawford are easy wins Crawford barely got past Madrimov at 154 and he is gonna go up to 168, two weight classes, and fight a guy way better than Madrimov? I have to then think May 2026 will be Charlo and finish with Surace.

You are not going to criticise the champion with 3 belts fighting cherry picks for years and money grabbing? So your not a real boxing fan. Cool.

I thought Scull deserved to lose the fight he won this strap in to begin with.

A tune up fight before Crawford. I'm okay with this fight. Hopefully Canelo doesn't get injured.....or worse, upset....

And ANOTHER wack Cinco weekend fight.

Charlo, mungua, berlanga were not tune ups? Why does a supposed active atg need any tune ups anyway?

Dying to see what the bookies will have this mismatch at
