Comments Thread For: Canelo Eyeing WBC Mandatory vs. Avni Yildirim In February, WBC Prez Confirms

[GodfatherIV]

My question is more to do with the WBC. Why do they Yildirim as the mandatory when he's not even ranked number 1 by them but Benavidez is? And a Benavidez fight in Mexico would be even bigger would it not?

[Lonelystoner]

Now Canelo wants to fight mandatory all of a sudden but when Charlo was mandatory he was requesting the franchise title. This makes me think they probably rigged he scale to strip Benavidez

[Thuglife Nelo]

If Canelo drops the belt, what's there to sue? Mandatories aren't guaranteed the fight, just the belt. Plus, GGG didn't sue, and GGG hates Canelo more than anyone, right?

If there were bidders to fight Yildirim before the Smith fight, it could’ve just boiled down to Canelo and Hearn following thru with the mando. Hearn and Canelo would like this. It brings everyone money including Haymon. Haymon will play the part because he has fighters to match against Canelo and hope for another AJ Ruiz scenario

This kid just loss to Dirrell. He has about 27 fights with 12ko's. Another soft puncher for Canelo to destroy. GTFOH!!

You actually took time to read all that nonsense rant???

Yeah unfortunately, can’t have that time back and I feel like I got a bit dumber

[Shadoww702]

I just dont see anyone stepping up to pay Canelo to fight some bum.

Is PBC really gonna pay Canelo like $25 million plus???

Even DAZN aint ****** enough to spend $25 million plus for this fight NO ONE asked for.

A P4P #1 vs. A P4P top #400??? Hell no!

Avni gets so many opportunities, he must be in on that stolen-oil-from-Syria money that Erdogan and his cronies are on.

Canelo bodies him easily, it will be a joke of a fight. Canelo is still #1 but still.

[Bandman]

Canelo's "no more mexicans" rule was targeted at Benavidez

[Doubledagger]

After one fight? Was he a bum after he beat George Groves in the WBSS? My point is that there is almost no one credible left to fight if we apply that level of scrutiny. I think the better question is who isn’t a bum?

Well, I wouldn't say almost no one, but again, point taken.
