    Super Middleweight not longer going to be held hostage?

    Canelo has maneuvered his career however he wanted after the unifying in 2021. Then didn't exactly do much outside of getting beaten pillar to post by Bivol. Picking the likes of Ryder, Berlanga and Munguia.

    Crawford will either vacate cetain belts to make fights happen, move down to Middleweight to secure a title at a more comfortable division or decide to retire because well, he is going to get really well paid while being on his end trail of his career. What is the direction for the division from here on?

    I'd like to see him defeat Benavidez AT SMW just to rub salt in Saul's belt-hoarding wounds, then scatter and retire. He has NOTHING left to prove.

      I see Crawford vacating, I don't see any truly large super fights for him from 154-168. I think he retires.

      I see 168 turning into a game of throne situation. Mbilli, Plant, Sheeraz, Mungia all fighting for vacated titles

        Think Canelo should try his shot to fight at 175 to turn the tables, of Benavidez being the one holding the belt.

          Wouldn't blame Crawford, when it came fighting at the top level he has proven himself, short but sweet run where he beaten two HOFs alongside other world champions. Though I wouldn't be shocked if he wanted to beat Erislandy Lara who is like the modern Bernard Hopkins.

          Martinez, Mbilli, Sheeraz, Iglesias, and etc. A lot of exciting fights. Think this outcome might be really for the better.
