Yeah so its not Plant, not Bivol, not Benavidez who would all be more competitive, its Callum Smith which is still a good fight, but i think he is a worse option for an competitive fight.
Callum has zero charisma and cant sell a fight, he also will not make for an exciting fight. I think John Ryder beat Callum Smith in his last fight, seems like Canelo and his team saw that fight too.
No. Fight w/ Caleb or anyone else on PBC side was never going to happen Dec. 19 for same reason Fury-Wilder III isn't happening on that date.
Right! PBC already has a PPV on Dec 5th and maybe another possible PPV with Fury Wilder in the very near future. Caleb Plant is a CHAMP not a CHUMP and wont be rushed into a fight by Canelo. But this is a smart move by Canelo if its only a one fight deal. Al Haymon probably advised him to do the fight on DAZN and take that WBA strap from them. This will give Al time to get his 2021 schedule together. Then come over to PBC and fight Yildirim for the WBC strap so he can definitely be the A side going into a unification scrap with Plant in the fall. Then 2022 is Benevediez and Charlo. Those are all huge PPV fights. PBC's 2021 PPV schedule could give us two Canelo fights, Pac vs Mikey, Spence vs Crawford (if he defects to PBC), Spence vs Pac, Gervontae vs Ryan, a Charlo doubleheader with Jermell finally facing Hurd and its unclear what the situation with Deontay is. It is still mindboggling why DA-ZASTER wants to throw away millions for one fight when it is clear that Canelo's focus in the future will be PPV with the PBC roster.
