Who's he going to fight in the meantime? How about Bek "The Bully?" Make It Happen!

It's a good fight, I'm down with it.

David Benavidez vs Canelo was a no brainer for at least 3 years straight. Can't force an opponent on the Queen of boxing since Bivol took his soul

I think Canelo is going to fight someone like Jake Paul next. Very little risk and tons of money and he can then call it a day. Canelo is going nowhere near anyone like Beneviedez at this stage of his career. He has a lot of miles on him...more than double the rounds Crawford has and you can tell by his last few matches that he is losing a step. If Scull engaged him more it would have been a different fight.

I am not taking anything away from Canelo, he fought a lot of top names even if they were all not in their primes, but I cannot blame him for taking $$ over tough fights at this point of his career.

Not interested in canelo vs sheeraz

Benavidez, Beterbiev or Bivol 2 should be the hitlist.

[STREET CLEANER]

Not interested at all. Didn't know knocking out Berlanga would open so many doors. Turki might pay for another big fight for him, that is the only reason this guy is getting star treatment. The Adams fight was horrible.

[Grandma Lover]

More than likely. Turki literally tweeted after he knocked out bumnalgas that he deserves a carnela fight.

Let's see if carnela takes it

Sheeraz looked much better at the higher weight.

I thought he was going to fall into the same patterns as a Vanes Martirosyian, who had a similar frame, converted jab, could also punch, but he never really became a fluid fighter, which was his limitation imo (incidentally they both had same trainer). So I am glad he left them for Andy Lee. I think it lifts his ceiling quite a bit. He can already punch with this lanky frame, and i think he can still fill out more and improve a lot.

And then he comes across very well on TV interviews, etc I could see him making the most of a Canelo fight. Future seems bright.

if it happends this will be the negative side of This is the negative side of Turki - he has sfavourites. That said, Canelo has been awful for the 168 division which needn't have been the case if the corrupt belt organisations hadn't been complicit in letting him ignore his mandatorie - IBF and Scull aside.

There's more deserving and seemingly better fighters at 168 than Sheeraz - winner of Mbilli/Martinez, Pacheco and Iglesias.
