Yea same. I'd rather see Canelo focus on 160. Thats where the most interesting fights are. I ain't no GGG hater & would dig seeing a 3rd fight. I think Mall vs Canelo is a good fight. And I think Andrade is trash, but he gots a belt so yea throw him in line to. And I think Canelo vs BJS might be boring to a lot of fans, but I think that would be more competitive than most think.
And I'd love to see Canelo vs Benavidez when Canelo gets through all those guys at 160 in a couple years at 168. I don't envision Canelo seriously ever competing at 175. I think thats too big & this is just a vanity title he's looking to collect vs Kovalev.
I don't think Canelo would really want to fight Kova at above 172... ( he doesn't have to -- because he pays Kovalev that big money}...Comment

Canelo is not a spring chicken dude. He is quite a bit older physically than his chronological age, he often wear a knee brace and pretty sure he has other signs of wear and tear on his body now, as one should if they've been fighting pro since 16.
i'd estimate that physically Canelo is around 32 himself I've always said I think he'll be over the hill by the time he reaches age 33-34. Especially If he keeps takin on opponents that are much bigger than him naturally.
At age 25 Canelo was at 154. So I don't care what he blows up to in between fights. He's still naturally a LMW imo. So him fighting at these higher weights is part him just wanting to push his limits while the other part of it is just him being too lazy to make weight.Comment

That's why he is the pound for pound King. Canelo is the fighter of the decade if he beats KovalevComment

I agree: Canelo v Benavidez would be a good fight. As far as cleaning up 160, unfortunately, I think DAZN can't afford for Canelo v Andrade yet because they lose a star fighter. They need both of them to continue down their paths while they build up the subscriber base and bring in more fighters. That's why we will definitely get Canelo GGG III - Not because people want to see it, but because DAZN is banking on the subscriptions. As far as 168, there's no way they put Canelo in there with Callum. Callum is a monster and would KO Canelo. DAZN is trying to play it safe, at least for now. Especially after losing rockstar Joshua...which is why Joshua is trying to cash out in Saudi Arabia
if they had pitched DAZN on Shark Tank, everyone would be out.Comment

Not to say that it's a bad thing either. Canelo has made and will have made so much money by then that there should be no need for him to fight past 33-34. That's pretty much the tail end of your prime anyways.Comment

SteveAnitaSmith I like your analogy. You make some excellent points. Definitely looking forward to this fight if it happens.Comment
