    Besides ggg, who can canelo fight that would make for a superfight?

    We hear oscar calling canelo 'the man in boxing.' But who can canelo fight that would help keep his star power? He doesn't exactly have big names atm to really sell to the public while avoiding ggg.

    Even when floyd and Manny weren't fighting each other, they had big names like cotto, shane, marquez, etc to make big fights. Canelo is not as big as either floyd or pac, and no current 'b side' fighters are as big as any of the ones I mentioned.

    Bjs, jacobs, and lemiuex don't seem keen on fighting below 160 (where canelo wants to fight). All the top 154 guys are with haymon. So who does that leave? Stevens? Rosado? Another blown up ww?

          Or hope pac comes out of retirement. Weight would be an issue though.

              Nobody, canelo isnt as big of a PPV star as oscar claimed he was. He didnt even crack 1mil with cotto and did mediocre numbers with khan. Only time he broke PPV records was with floyd . He needs GGG now , or else his numbers will get worse.

                He is the biggest draw (if floyd and Manny stay retired). But are there any truly big fights for him other than ggg? He's the biggest name in boxing, but I can't think of anyone he can fight that'll generate close to 1mil ppvs where he is the a side unless it's ggg

                    Right and if they were intending on making the fight, giving up the belt was irrelevant. Who cares who's holding it if they're fighting for it.
