Comments Thread For: Canelo Hopes To Announce Date, Opponent in Next Few Days

They forgot to mention Yildrim . . .

I’ll take it in pill form with some thing that might make me absorb it!

6 fight deal, 8 figure paycheck per fight. Not sure how much you make but I know what I make lol and I'd say his deal ain't so bad lol. Besides he's gonna be 39 years old in a few months. Only see a third fight with Canelo going one way.

who knows what their paying GGG, they refused to pay Canelo the agreed purse as per the contract and GB tried to stiff him on $100M behind his back. They promised him a Canelo fight and if he signed with them and failed to deliver.

Canelo just want to fight. He was serious when he said that he wanted to make this era the Canelo era.

Inactivity will not allow what he wants to accomplish plus those long layoffs creates too much ring rust.

Not necessarily. If the fighter’s always in the gym and the same physique- as Canelo has been with his social media sharing - then he’s in primal mode. There are plenty of boxers whom don’t have pro fights a whole year with no camps, minimum training, and it shows when they return. Those are the ideal situations of ring rust

That’s legit? I see canelo pulling a Mikey Garcia and just hop around

Lmao. You’re not serious

I was told without the judges on his payroll he wants Santa Cruz at a catchweight of 170 something. Santa Cruz will have a month to eat all he can.

If Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's next opponent is Caleb "Sweet Hands" Plant, thats a very good, and a step in the right direction. To be fair Canelo's last 3 opponents were decent matches, 2 were current champions, and the other was a former champion. The problem was the waiting game to find out who it was that he was fighting, after a date was announced. Like he was giving his unknown opponent a winning lottery ticket, to millions. Then not fighting GGG for the 3rd anxiously awaited fight by the fans, while GGG still was a force to be reckoned with was unforgettable, if not unforgivable. Top that off with the fighter from Turkey who he was planning on facing, before the split with Golden Boy, and DAZN. His career just wasn't going in the right direction, for someone who considers himself the best fighter pound for pound in the world. He can retain that title if he starts with Plant, then Jermall Charlo, and finally Demetrius Andrade those are the top tier fights fans are waiting for. A Billy Joe Saunders thrown in there would be acceptable, but he should take on 2 of the 3 stated before that. David Benevides, Artur Beterbiev, and Dmitry Bivol, would be the epitome of excellence for Canelo. No one would be able to question Canelo's supremacy if he fought, and beat most of those fighters. He wouldn't have to beat all of them as long as he was competitive in those bouts.

IMHO he is already a HoF, addin those names you said would only add or substract to his ATG status.

Only fight I'm not ok with is the Beterbiev one, I do like the Bivol because Bivol is amore of a natural SMW, Beterbiev fought his amateur as a Cruiserweight where he beat Usyk and other notables names, I just don't think it's fair to put a fighter who started his career as a Junior Welter to fight a natural Cruiserweight but it's just me.

But asides from that I do love all those names you threw around and I do hope he fights them in the next years.
