Who does Canelo fight in May?

[about.thousands]

You answered your own post, so why even ask?

"Canelo" Alvarez Is Oscar's only marketable fighter at this point, Oscar has no real other ins to big HBO money, and Oscar has been following the Bob Arum model since he's taken over his company on his own (doing everything to either keep fights in-house or with Top Rank/HBO).

If Canelo Alvarez is left with only having to pick through the WBC's top 15 challengers at 160, he's likely to be fighting either Michael Soro or Jorge Sebastian Heiland. If the WBC gives him an exception to fight whomever (as long as they are rated by them at 160/541), you can add Clottey/Rosado winner and Charles Hatley (beat Mundine at 154).

Because I don't like living in an echo chamber and wanted other people opinion. I'm not always right, ya know?

The espn article said that canelo's fight will be on ppv. I would think that clottey or rosado would not be considered worthy ppv opponents. I'm thinking it could be Lemieux, which is a dangerous fight for Canelo.

If you wanted to simply ask the question, ask the question and be done with it.

If you've already got an answer in your mind, there's no need to post the question and answer in the exact same post, unless you're simply looking for confirmation of what you've already thought through.

Imagine Geale getting the fight, that would be his second shot at the lineal and WBC title. Wow that would be hilarious, the loser get more opportunities than GGG

Canelo needs to fight at 160 vs the winner of Lee/Saunders if he wants to make people believe he has a chance vs GGG.

It's more of a query. I asked to start a discussion and express my doubts and also give my opinion. Do you need my password so you can run my account the way you see fit? <<<

This is a ****** discussion. I'm done.

Get him Rubio at the full 160.
This allows Canelo to finally fight at the full 160, with a soft touch that allows Canelo to look good and build for the fight in September.

GGG should be given a soft touch too. Put both on the same card, allow both to look sensational and build interest for their showdown in September.

It has to be a top 15 WBC contender right? Look at the rankings it should be clear.

My guess is Jorge Sebastian Heiland the #1 contender.

we are talking about the WBC here. The January rankings could look quite different, and will likely contain whatever name Oscar gives Mauricio........
