Comments Thread For: Who Should Canelo Fight Next? Here are 5 Compelling Possibilities

[Sinbad]

He's just signed a 8 figure contract for 6 fights, if he fights 6 rolls what's he got to lose?

Absolutely nothing but I think Canelo has nothing to win in a 3rd fight other than 20m more.

In case that Ukrainian mobster can't sell DAZN quickly, it will go bankrupt soon...

... and then I would like to see how these fighters who are signed for shitloads of money will react...

I picture Canelo sat in whatever mansion he lives in, watching some replays of his old fights for old times sakes. Plays him vs Khan. Gets to round 6, watches the knockout with the gruesome slow motion footage of Khan falling to the canvas, insensate. Looks at him laying on the ground, unaware of where he is, looking up into the bright lights as Kenny Bayless imediately waves the fight off and doctors flood into the ring, the crowd baying at this shocking act of hubris and career suicide on his part. Canelo looks at Khan as all that's going on, strokes his chin, and thinks "that looks like fun."

That's what I picture when I see those reports that Canelo's considering fighting Kovalev (or even Callum Smith for that matter.) It boggles my mind that Canelo's considering joining the weight jumping Icarus club alongside Brook, Garcia and Khan when he himself was on the other side of that kind of mismatch. For god's sake, just do the right thing and either let Golovkin have his rematch (he knows that both of the results in those fights were controversial) or at least let Charlo have his shot.

(...) or at least let Charlo have his shot.

Jermall is with Haymon -- therefore ODLH gives him no shot...

It don’t matter... Golden boy and PED boy is going to fight whoever DAZN Ukrainain owner wants...

Any fight can be made; but nowadays these guys are protected as much as possible by promoters, managers, and sometimes the fighters themselves duck fighting guys they know they could lose to. Sad state of affairs. I'm not the biggest fan of the UFC, but I will give them credit, they have to fight every mandatory or they lose the title.

[Nightfall]

I'd like to see David Benavidez on that list in the near future. His energy is off the charts🥊

[Bullrider]

Anyone but Golovkin and Charlo for me. I'd like to see what these two would come up with without Canelo's name being mentioned in their next fights.

The title of this article comes off as pro Alvarez but immediately he starts trying to pick canelo apart. He needs to prove himself against g.. He had a fake 168 belt, he is to small for Calum. I'm starting to wonder if this writer wasn't paid off by the pbc or if this want a ggg sponsored opinion... Just wondering..

BJS would be a good match if he wasn’t overweight off the PEDs

John Ryder deserves a Canelo payday. Most of his fights are exciting and he’s been WBA mandatory for a while now
