Alvarez wasn't forced to step aside. He was offered very generous purses to defeat Canadian legends to help build his name so the eventual fight with Stevenson would be worth even more.
Pascal has a much bigger following than Stevenson. Alvarez raised his profile considerably by getting Bute & Pascal's scalps on his resume.
Alvarez was not forced to step aside. He chose to step aside because doing so was more lucrative. This is a business. Stevenson vs. Alvarez two years ago was not a big fight. Nobody knew who Alvarez was. Now people know who he is because he faced two big names and beat them both. This is how you build a fighter.

Alvarez lost his spot when he stepped aside and then ducked Gvozdyk.Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostThe WBC jumped over Marcus Browne, Joe Smith Jr, Karo Murat, Blake Capparela, Isaac Chilemba, and Thomas Oosthuizen to get to Mehdi Amar, a guy that no one had heard of, was checking for, or will be heard of after this fight.Last edited by DuckAdonis; 01-20-2018, 03:54 AM.

if he's admitting he knows that haymon cant make the jack fight..why doesn he swoop in and just go right for the belt in canada...
i think arum wants to win the purse bid when gvozdyk times cmes and have stevenson stripped by placing the fight in america...BOSS MOVE TBH...al haymon has played this dirty game by trying to have ggg stripped due to network stuff, so it's kind of fair play...al is broke and showtime isnt interested in spending money on a 40 year old stevenson no matter how fun his fight could be

I hope he'll be granted the chance to drill Chickenson soon, maybe in Canada, showing the world that his place is among the other big dudes (Krusher, Bivol, Beterbiev) @175. Let's go 'The Nail'!!!
