Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Canelo Doesn't Fight Saunders Or Smith, They Should Fight

[aboutfkntime]

Why is everyone waiting for canelo? Why not fight each other and forget about canelo and see who emerges at the top. Then maybe fight canelo.

I don't think any of the top guys need canelo. If they fight the other top guys and win that's good enough for me.

somebody needed to do exactly that

but just like at welter, when Mayweather was active... everyone else stood around with their hands in their pockets kicking rocks... hoping that others would lose, so they could land that payday by default

fcuk Charlo and Andrade

And, as much as I hate to say this given my disliking of BJS, the great Smith would be definitively exposed.

I thought the Ryder fight was pretty definitive. I wouldn’t be surprised if Matchroom shafted BJS like they did Ryder.

how come its Golovkin at 168 and Andrade at 160?

Could it be that Golovkin will be even slower at 168 yet Andrade would just be a bigger version of himself at 168 - equally mobile but harder punching?

Because GGG said ANYONE from 154-168???? You calling him a liar now?

You are right, Smith has already been exposed.

On the other hand, whatever bad happens to Saunders (pugilistically speaking, I mean) is very welcome here. I really can't stand him.

Canelo should fight Benavidez next in May while BJS/Smith Charlo/Andrade fight. Canelo fights the winners starting at 160.

You and Tesco Joe blocked that fight from happening on BT last year. Smith wanted to take that fight!

I like this plan better. Both looked like trash in their last fight, so they should redeem themselves while Canelo can either handle unfinished business at 160 with Charlo or andrade or at 168 he can face plant or benavidez.

Not sure why Saunders or Smith are being mentioned as the front runners anyway. It used to be that in order to land a fight with "boxing's biggest star" you had to earn it and come off an impressive performance. With Canelo, the opposite seems true. Looking vulnerable is what gets you the fight with him.

Again with this emotional female

[Senor_frogs]

I swear if Billy joe gets a canelo fight before Andrade or Charlo we already know what it is,And That's canelo is scared of both,Because neither 1 of these dudes (BJS or Callumsmith) have done anything to get that fight at all��.Tell me if I'm wrong??

What has Charlo or Andrade done to deserve a shot at Canelo? They’ve done nothing but stall. Fighting can after can waiting on the GB call. BJS is on that same boat. Smith hasn’t earned it either. But at least he hasn’t been stalling for years.

Money is the answer. Canelo is in a similar situation to floyd when floyd made that huge deal with showtime. Canelo has to produce good numbers for his contract to be worth it for DAZN. And right now charlo and Andrade don't bring in the same fan base as the Brits.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Canelo vs Charlo or Andrade in AMERICA is a much bigger fight than either Smith or Saunders. But its a PPV fight not an APP fight. The rivalry in boxing between blacks and mexicans is the biggest rivalry in boxing. Give them 3 months to promote that fight over here with the name JACKSON or LOPEZ will be chomping at the bit to order is PPV. Canelo needs to come back to showtime PPV.... he's leaving a lot of $ on the table.

Canelo is sitting on a deal of guaranteed money, with basically zero upside.

Canelo doesn't have to do **** but show up and make the weight for 11 fights.

He's got 3 in the bag already, the 4th is believed to be set for May 2020, and all Canelo needs to do for this next one is make 168lbs.

DAZN paid whatever they paid to get a seat at the table with Canelo; how they get that money back is their own business
