After honoring the remaining 10 fights on the DAZN contract, will Canelo retire or box on?

He will continue to become boxings cash cow unfortunately, and his earnings in the future will increase if he keeps fighting elite competition and robbing them of rightful victories

 

He'll be 33 with 64 professional fights, he would be wise to retire. Assuming he dosent have bad spending habits there would be no reason for him to continue fighting.

 

I hope so. I hope that he follows the path of many of his countrymen and fights in brawls that are only streamed on Facebook after they’ve gained 40 pounds and are beyond washed up. I want to see Cruiselo

 

Building on my last answer, Oscar will soon get Munguia on the Canelo regimen, and bulk him up huge, then when Canelo is at the very end of his DAZN deal and clearly past it, they’ll fight in what will be dubbed a Mexican super fight. This will be when he finally loses

 

Canelo will not come out of the DAZN contract unscathed. My guess is he loses 2-3 fights before he calls it a day.

 

In all seriousness, if the DAZN deal does see him fight Jacobs down the line, he may actually lose that since Jacobs will also be a DAZN fighter unless I’m mistaken.

 

It's too early to answer now.

 

That's such a difficult question that its almost impossible to try to answer definitively.

If I had to bet, I would bet that he continues to fight, given that there's a pretty well tradition dating back a century of boxers fighting on longer than they should. Champions, contenders, gatekeepers, and tomato cans are all represented in this pattern. We see most fight fighters stay past their expiration date, whether their biggest payday was $3,500 opening a Tuesday Night Fights card, or for seven figures as a pay per view headliner.

Canelo doesn't strike me as another Tunney, Marciano, Lewis, Calzaghe or Ward. He strikes me as being with the other 97%. I think in ten fights Canelo will be roughly at a similar place Pacquiao was at around the time of the second Bradley fight or against Algieri. The luster will be fading and he'll be looking increasingly jaded/human, but he'll be front page news and still a giant draw. There will be growing concern of over the state of Canelo's personal life. Maybe his bond with the Reynosos will be decaying, or an increasingly manipulative woman in his life or a svenghali like manager, even whispers of substance abuse. Amid it all Canelo insists he has no intention of retiring soon.

When you watch this sport long enough, you get used to seeing grown men make bad decisions. Unfortunately

 

Usually after a big money contract, the boxer has one or two additional big money or farewell fights.
A lot depends on what happens in the coming fights of course, he might lose a couple in a row, get busted again, get injured... Impossible to predict.

 

You’re probably right, he will inevitably lose but most of my answer is fantasy so might as well dream there too
