    Not many options for bud tbh.. certainly no huge fights. If boots hadn’t been fighting scrubs these last few years he could have been a way bigger name. Can Charlo get to 160 and get a title ? That might have some interest..

      Here is the card I want to see next year:

      Crawford vs Janibek at 160
      Beneviedez vs Bivol at 175
      Canelo vs. Shereez at 168

      I'd even take any mix and match of these...

      Even something like Beneviedez vs Betwebiev or Crawford Vs Bivol.

        Janibek is just a southpaw version of Postol.

          Whoever thinks this has to agree that Canelo's career has been a circus, a farce, he has lied to all his fans, so why worry about a piece of $h1t athlete like him. Don't you think so? Or, I have another theory, he lost because he is not good enough, has never been. You can watch his fights with Lara, Floyd, and Bivol, and the reason it wasn't a rematch clause is that he was so sure of his victory that he didn't bother with the clause, and he can ask for one if he chooses to, after all, he is the king and can do whatever he wants, and I'm 100% sure that Crawford would oblige. What do you think?

            Jani would hear the final bell then

            Postol was getting countered with all kinds of sht and went to the scorecards anyways

              I think Turki will keep his word to Artur

              so Bivol-Artur part 3

              Let see if Buff Guy Yarde puts on the performance of a lifetime resulting in rematch

                If you believe it's possible Canelo sold the belts to Turki and Bud for the $150m (entirely plausible - no rematch clause, no demands for rematch) then lt's evaluate Canelo's next move. WBC just installed him at no. 1 168, with Sheeraz at no. 2, it looks like Turki/WBC could be angling for a Canelo vs Sheeraz title fight, which could end up with Sheeraz being the first Pakistani/Brit to win a world title. I could see Canelo selling that fight too, he's clearly on the downside. This fight would be contingent on Bud vacating the 168 belts which is likely and there isn't anything appealing for him at 168 legacy-wise. Beating Canelo was everything.

                Bud's map is less clear. It would seem natural for Bud to drop to 160 and collect more titles however that would involve extreme risk as the main man at 160 is a BEAST Janibek Alimkhanuly. The Qazaq Style could be the best fighter at the 160 168 range. Nobody knows how good he is because every marque name as avoided him, yet he still owns two 160 belts. It would be a very very bold move by Bud to challenge Janibek, who surely would be the toughest fight of his career. Bud is a throwback true great and he just might do it. But it's also possible Bud could suddenly turn soft and become a businessman after earning $50m and at age 37 38, choose the path of least resistance.

                It will be intriguing to see how this plays out for Canelo and Crawford. One thing is for sure, the Canelo vs Crawford rematch is not what the boxing fans want and neither to either combatant apparently.
                "which could end up with Sheeraz being the first Pakistani/Brit to win a world title"

                I think you have been living under a rock. Amir Khan was the first.

                  Longshot -

                  If Anthony Yarde's style finds success against Benavidez, maybe Canelo re-evaluates that matchup? The look of that fight might get people thinking again, we'll see.

                  Opinion seems to vary on Hamzah - understandable after the Adames showing. But even if you didn't think much of Berlanga, Hamzah KO'ed him in hometown, NYC, in his first fight abroad. Maybe not exactly like Hamed-Kelly, but it was a damn nice arrival.

                  Anyway, I like how he looked at the higher weight, and I think he can become a new star if he continues to improve, he carries himself very well. I think that becomes an intriguing fight if Benavidez is put back on the table as a possibility.

                  Fight I don't want to see: Eubank/Canelo

                    Canelo is done and has been for years, Bud was always his master, Canelo just finally accepted the reality and gave him the fight because he didn't want to get KOed by Benavidez. Canelo doesn't want the rematch, he's on a farewell tour still. Just milking the fans for every last buck.

                      That’s probaly what we’re going to get, in the UK since Canelo has said he wants to fight there.

                      Unless Eggs Bennedict beats Jr,
