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.
He hasn't taken on a good opponent since Bivol, and that was by mistake. And yes, he needs to fight the mandatories or relinquish the belts, that's all to it, defend the titles or getfo of the way of the new guys on the block, he forever will be remembered as the only "champion" to refuse a mandatory and keep the belts. There's no other champ that has said, I won't fight these boxers because he is Mexican, or what he brings to the table. He should be ashamed.
He won’t fight Sheeraz.. too much risk. It’ll be either Jake Paul or Eubank Jnr if he beats Benn. Sheeraz needs to stay busy, should have already had a fight lined up, Berlanga was easy work.
