Has Canelo Alvarez ever fought a mandatory challenger?

[ShaneMosleySr]

I’m complaining that he’s the only fighter in the history of ABC titles to avoid all his mandatories

So you are actually complaining that he is not fighting more Ryan Rhode type fighters???

Yea. I can see the point he's trying to make buuuuut the implications aren't good. At least we know there is a bar Canelo doesn't seem to want to go under when it comes to his opponents. I think that's a good thing.

Manny nor Floyd were fighting Mando's man

[Larry the boss]

who the hell wants to see superstars fighting no hope mando's over an over again?? ya'll must love those GGG/Wlad mando fights we sat thru for years

[lopetego]

Fighting mandatories is for boxing plebs, Canelo is boxing royalty

Cash cows don't fight mandatories, just ask Mayweather

he avoided Thurman for what, 3 years straight?

never fought Pac when Pac was mandatory either

only reason he fought Guerrero was because it was an easy, cakewalk of a fight, and he had a guaranteed purse anyway

[ShaneMosleySr]

Aren’t all these people who are against mandatories the ones who said GGG ducked Derevyanchenko and Charlo because they were his mandatories?

I’m so confused by all this hypocrisy.

[The Conundrum]

But he’s kicking A$$ number 1 P4P

He's not P4P number 1

When you call your own shots you tell the alphabet orgs who your fighting.
If your trying to make name for yourself you beg the orgs to rank you or sign with a connected promoter to be given title fights.
Oscar, Floyd, Pac, and now Canelo don’t get told who to fight. Comes with the cash cow territory.

It's weird. Yeah the rankings could be better but a lot of good fighters get shafted for years by these guys ducking their mandatories.

It's simple. Avoiding mandatories is OK if you're going after bigger fish to fry

avoiding Derevyanchenko to fight Kovalev is ok

avoiding him to fight Vanes Martyrosian is not
