everyone one is saying canelo better do this or do that, but the reality is.. he was getting paid even when he was making fights you didnt like, imagine now that he has a guaranteed 35+m per fight regardless of whoever it is!! the division is hot and most of 160lb fighters are on dazn. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!! I wouldnt be surprised if after this month once all belts are with DAZN- they offer a wbss to fighters who arent yet on the platform as a catch to sign w dazn.


1.canelo
2.jacobs
3.boo boo
4.ggg
5.saunders
6.murota
7.charlo

Danny Jacobs has that country club gentleman style down pat, impeccably dressed.

IF Andrade & Jacobs win (Like they are supposed to) then DAZN will have the 160lbs division on LOCK & anyone 154lbs (hoping to come up) thru 160lbs are fucc'd NO lube unless they sign with DAZN

Alvarez is now able to do as he wants. He could drop every belt and it would not matter. He beat Golovkin (argue all we want, the judges saw it as a win, it is a win) and he now has more security than any athlete alive, with the possible exceptions of superstar MLB players. He can pick and choose, and he can risk all he wants. Or, risk nothing at all. He can drop to 154, defend at 160, or play around at 168. DAZN has ensured that, and he has earned it.

As for the 160 division, it is stacked full of fun. I do not know how it all shakes out. I think there are 2 established guys in Trip G and Jacobs who need to make their move quick as they only have limited time at the top left, and some guys I am not sold on yet in Derevyanchenko and Andrade. I like Charlo and his skill set, I think Murata is interesting. But all 4 of those names are fairly unproven (Charlo is proven, but needs a real top level win at 160) which makes them all interesting.

What happens? Crap if I know. But it is amazing to think out the scenarios.
