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

[HandsofIron]

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?

Floyd rematch at 54, Pacquiao, Cotto rematch, any of the new blood at 54. Lots of options.

There isn't any superstars in boxing for him to fight. He's all by himself with the retirement of Floyd and Manny.

I guess GGG and Ward.

That would be an awesome fight. Canelo - Ward at 168.

I'm not sure Pac and Floyd were doing these type numbers at 24-25 yrs old, were they? Beyond that, doing the consistent 1 mil ppv's in there time is somewhat of an anomaly. With that said Canelo seems to be an par or doing better numbers than both of we went age-age.

Canelo could get that work, if only ggg would concede to his demands, right?

So my OP still stands.

Yeah true except there's no Dlh for him to fight and boost his standing. His only respectable Ppv option is Ggg and you know what just happened there

[HanzGruber]

The term super fight is so over used. That isn't even a super fight lol.

Two of those are retired and 20lbs+ smaller, and there's no demand for the Cotto rematch. Sure he can make some money there but lose even more respect, if possible

Well let's see...he just fought Amir fookin khan and cleared probably 10 million in the biggest ppv fight of the year thus far. So pretty much anybody.

That was with the assumption that he was fighting ggg next. Now that that's not happening, his stock has plummeted alot, even casuals can see his duck.

And amir is a decent name, what other decent names are there to fight? Mayweather rematch ain't happening. Pac fight is a stretch. No one is really clamoring for a cotto rematch.

Floyd and Manny were being groomed to be superstars at the same age, whereas canelo is being labeled as the current face of boxing. And they fought their biggest threats at the time. Corrales, castillo, barrera,morales,marquez. What is canelos excuse for not fighting his?

I'm wondering why GGG is the only one interested in the Mexican superstar, except Lemieux.

Haven't heard from Jacobs, Saunders, Quillin, etc.

Well bjs and lemiuex said they wouldn't fight below 160. Idk if canelo is still trying to force the cw after he said weight wouldn't be an issue. I have no idea about jacobs or quillin I don't think they've said anything recent regarding a fight with canelo
