      And then what was the deal he knocked back might be ordinary.

        wat?

        Pac fought during and after Floyd's career and he has like 10 losses...and hes STILL and ATG and STILL a Top 5 draw in boxing.

        Clearly the "Floyd blueprint" only worked for Floyd. Yes, the PBC kiddos are having some success but theyre all decent fighters and wouldve had success with TR or Matchroom or DAZN or GBP if we're being honest. So its every INIDIVIDUAL fighters fault for their own career.

        Spence ducking Crawford is Spences fault. He thinks hes gonna have Floyd success when and IF he finally mans up and fights Crawford.

        Floyd was a 5 division champ, not 1. Floyd fought the best moving up 5 classes and this fool cant even clean out 1 division.

        Same goes for Charlos, Tank, Wilder, etc

          He turned it down because that's the PBC way. Keep that "0" , make as much money as you can while taking as little risks as possible.

          Been saying it, I'll say it again, Charlo could've shot for greatness this year, unify with Andrade, become undisputed at 160, fight Plant in May get the IBF, get Canelo in September, end the year as undisputed at 160 & 168? Is that not shooting for greatness?

          Instead, what is he doing? An Andrade fight by Feb/March is already out of the question. Will he be calling for Plant tonight for a summer showdown? or continue crying that Canelo didn't pick him come September while fighting another Jacobs leftover?

            David Benavidez has called out Charlo too.

            Let's see if Jermall nuts up and makes the fight.

                Wow that actually makes the most sense out of anything. Always wondered why some of these guys would turn down the Canelo fight when it is presumably their holy grail. I think you nailed it.

                Canelo presents the fight on short notice when he can time the juicing etc for himself, and the opponents are caught and can't cycle off in time to take the fight.

                  Canelo actually turned down Jermall Charlo in a 3 fight deal that would have him fight Caleb Plant first and then Charlo at 166.

                    That’s not surprising. What would motivate him to accept such a “deal” and with a catchweight attached too?

                      It's impossible for the top draw in boxing to be ducked. Everyone wants to fight Canelo, he's got welterweights willing to risk their health and careers for a fight with him.

                      Basically, Canelo and his people are ****ing liars. They're running damage control. They're trying to justify Canelo not fighting the best. Him and his people out here talking about they sent an offer to the best friend of the lawyer of the agent of Charlo's agent lol. They're full of crap.
