It’s Saunders Been Saunders

Benavidez, Callum, Charlo, Andrade, Zurdo, Murata then BJS would be the order for me.

I think they absolutely don't care how you feel. Canelo just fought at 175 very doubtful he'd go back to 160 for either of those guys who haven't even had a significant fight at 160. They too busy avoiding each other and avoiding Danny Jacobs.

Jacobs is at 168 and doesn't have a belt. You'll have to find another bodyguard for Canelo.

Canelo is his own man.

I'm prepared for something way out of left field at this point, get ready for Kevin Lerena or Chris Eubank Jr

It's pretty simple for Canelo - the criteria is as follows:

1. World recognised fighter who is on the slide.
2. Holds any kind of belt.
3. Is desperate to give in to negotiations just to get the career-defining pay-day that comes with a Canelo fight.


Additionally, I think Canelo will either fight at 168, or a catchweight of 165 if it's an MW.

If God was real and rainbows and lollipops paved the streets, and Canelo was a true fighter rather than just a businessman now posing as a fighter, I'd have him fight GGG, then Charlo, Andrade, Plant, Benavidez.
But we all know that the streets aren't paved with handjobs.

He's going to fight at 168 next. My preference would be a unbeaten young guy like David Benevidez or Caleb Plant. Based upon their last performances I wouldn't want Callum Smith or Billy Joe Saunders to get him next but I wouldn't be mad if they were the next choice. They are still beltholders I think this might be a situation where both guys fought down to the level of their opponents.

If its David Lemieux I would be super pissed.

[Nomadic]

He's upgraded from left overs and bar stools; He's fighting the Bar Keep!

[Boxing Hero]

I don't care who it is! I'm ready for Cinco de Canelo!

Canelo is at 175, they will have to beg for a different payday they haven't earned. Perhaps each other? Or is that asking for too much for clowns who have done nothing with no real fanbase?
