    If Canelo is chasing greatness, he should leave 168

    168 is clearly a weak division. Move back to 160, fight GGG again, or Andrade, Jermall or move to 175.

    168 is a waste of time.

    You’re telling Canelo to move for others fighters whom are draining at 160? Lol

    Shouldn’t you want GGg and Charlo to move up? Andrade is begging for BJs to give him the 168 fight. Andrade is going north

      Why should he move to 175? I don't see any mention of Pacquiao at 154 when he fought a drained Margarito for a belt.

        Golovkin won the first fight. Canelo won the second fight. The disparity is only going to be worse with Golovkin pushing 40. I don't care to see a third fight. The only people who do are Canelo fans who hope Golovkin is old enough to get knocked out.

        He should fight Saunders and Plant before thinking about 175.

          There’s fights for him at 168.

          Plant, Benividez, Saunders.

          They’re all good/hard fights for Canelo.

            There is no money at 175

              Canelo should go down to get HIS titles back? Lmao. Charlo was arguably number 5 in the division when Canelo was there and that’s being generous to Andrade who’d be at best number 4.


              Asking him to move on from 168 to fight them and a guy he already beat is really reaching the realms of ridiculous.

              Personally I think 168 is too big for him and eventually he wont be able to cope with the crazy size disadvantages but power to him for doing it. He was even undersized at 160.

                Benividez wants Canelo bad, sure it’s a big pay check, but everyone wants some of that B side cash.

                  There are no Canelo fans whom want or have mentioned a third fight with GgG. That’s you GGg fans tasting the same salt like “Marquez should’ve fought Pac 5 times or PAC beat Floyd in motion and is ducking a rematch.”

                    He should stay at 168. He can prove greatness there if he does not lose. There lots of good fights for him right there at 168. He should not go back to 160 because he has outgrown that weight and will weaken himself at that weight. He also is too small to fight the very best light heavyweights. Benavidez is a damn good fighter he can fight at 168. Bivol has offered to fight him at 168. Andrade, Jermall and GGG would all gladly fight him at 168 and champions Saunders and Plant are there to fight. There are lots of fights for him to prove greatness at 168 if he wins them and takes no losses.
