    The obvious answer if it has to be someone on the PBC roster is Benavidez or if not he should try to avenge his loss to Bivol only this time be reasonable at the negotiating table and treat Bivol with respect.

    Clenelo has the huge privilege and luxury of being able to pick and choose who he fights. Any fight he wants can get made whenever he wants it and at a very conservative estimate he'll earn 100 times more for one fight than 99.999999% of other boxers will earn in their entire careers.

    He could literally fight for free for the remainder of his career if he wanted to and still be the richest boxer on the planet, unless the Saudis start paying the next richest absolutely insane money. Either way, it would barely impact his bank balance.

    If he genuinely wants to avenge his loss to Bivol that fight can easily be made. But if not he'll just have to live with that blemish on his record for the rest of his life and with both him and the entire boxing world knowing that Bivol is his superior.

    There's nothing wrong with taking an L or losing fair and square to the better man but when he says ''nobody can beat this version of me'' nobody is going to genuinely believe him or his excuses until he avenges his loss to King Bivol.

    What's the point of signing a three fight deal with PBC if those three fights are against

    An inactive career 154 pounder who hadn't fought in 16 months

    An inactive 160 pounder who hasn't fought in 28 months as of now, let alone by the time the fight gets made, because they've been suffering from mental health issues

    And a 147 pounder who has barely fought any legit punchers their own size, let alone one who is the undisputed champ three divisions above theirs or any division they've ever fought in?

    He will go for the smaller man in Crawford, it really should be Benavidez.

    Why should Bivol fight Canelo again? Bivol wants to unify the titles.

    Obviously It should be Benavidez/Andrade winner, which will be Benavidez. But I’m not getting my hopes high.

    It’ll be semi-retired Jermall. Speaking of whom, couldn’t he fight a SMW fringe contender on the undercard last saturday? Unless he’s injured or something.

    True Bivol Beterbiev needs to be next for both guys, it's far too long of a wait already.

    Whomever he fights next won't do him any favors pay wise. Crawford would be a big fight but I doubt he'd get more than the 30-50 mill he's been reportedly making for his last few fights. Benavides makes the most sense but nobody's paying to see that guy either, he's just the best hope Canelo haters have left to see him lose without him moving up. I hope it's Benavides but he hasn't been in with anybody all that great either and we've seen what that does in these last handful of big fights. If he beats him supposedly David will have been drained too lol.

    Isnt it strange all the Ginger lover want to see Bivol,Benevidez & Beterbiev fight each other but don't want either of them getting near to Ginger I wonder why?? Ginger never mentions them but he did say Crawford isn't in his future Nah Ginger wants Jermall next. If they sanction that then they should strip Ginger of all his belts

    You've never called me out on a fight, but if you're calling me out, them come down to my turf if you want to fight so bad. I'll happily entertain you, but you better have health insurance old man

    In a recent interview Reynoso mentioned Benavidez, Bivol and Munguia.

    I'm guessing the other Charlo might be off the list.
