    Clenelo is a cherrypicking fraud. As expected only the cringiest of fanboys are defending him here.

    Boxing needs a system in place to strip title holders who refuse to face their #1 contenders. Even the Saudis are going to be reaching limits with how much they are willing to shell out.

    Clenelo said all Benavidez offers is 25 lbs. I guess he meant $8 million a pound.

    Of course Lance, of course. You're acting like you don't obsess over the Cash cows. You were obsessed with De La Hoya, you were obsessed with Mayweather, and you're slobbering over Canelo. Facts

    Never mind so what. In those divisions we have the top two fighting. In this division we don't.

    Munguia isn't good enough.

    PBC doesn't have the money right now for that much. Maybe they will make enough $$$ from the Canelo/Mungia fight to get a DB/Canelo fight for September.

    It's literally news that just happened moron. Why do you always have to be so dishonest when defending your manlove Canelo? The dude ducked another fighter and priced himself out, its news, its currently the biggest story in boxing.

    :lol: Why are you so mad though

    It's the same group of 7-10 dudes that obsess over Canelo. I think AngryBirds has made 10 out of the last 15 Canelo threads :loel:

    Canelo has you guys shook :loel::loel::lol:

    Ludicrous sum of money to be asking for, for this fight. Canelo is a draw but Benavidez isn't and simply isn't known outside hardcore fans. His last fight was $85 for the PPV, so that's 2-2.5 mill PPV buys and that's never happening. The Saudi pockets are deep but even they would balk at that kind of money, not even Mayweather was guaranteed that much when he fought Pacquiao.

    He's really painting himself into a corner by making statements like this. I believe that this is all just some story they are spinning to generate interest in the fight, to build the fight for when it happens. But if Canelo never fights Benavidez now, he's painted an image of himself ducking Benavidez and that's what he'll be remembered for when he does retire as the guy who aged out GGG and when a young lion came along ducked him. It would go down as one of the biggest ducks in boxing history.

    Clenelo's shameless ducking of his #1 challenger Benavidez is not only extremely cowardly it's completely indefensible. He clearly and undeniably wants and never has wanted a goddamn thing to do with him. The only way he'd ever fight him is if Benavidez was 35 y/o or older and past or well past his best.

    It's so much worse when the sport's biggest stars like Clenelo duck fighters than it is when other fighters do it because not only does he earn 10 x more per fight than many of the sports big names do, and more in one fight than thousands and thousands of other fighters do in their entire careers combined, but he literally has the judges in his pocket everytime he fights to wave their magic wands to turn his Ls into Ws. And even if you whoop his ass like a naughty ginger infant like Bivol who was in cruise control all night did they'll still bend over backwards to try and rob you.

    Benavidez hasn't beaten anyone according to Clenelo but Mr Padded record Munguia who Benavidez would beat into a quivering heap in 4-5 rounds has apparently :lol:

    Morrell hasn't actually beaten anyone but Clenelo will never fight him either and if he somehow does manage to inflate those little ginger chicken balls of his and dares to fight him I predict we'll see Clenelo take his first KO loss. Knock his overrated stumpy little serial ducking ass smooth out

    Bivol has given Clenelo the B fever. No rematch for Bivol, no shot not now or ever for Benavidez. And even though Beterbiev is 39 y/o Clenelo's is still terrified of him :facepalm:

    If you have zero intention of fighting your #1 contender and the best fighters in your division and you're going to hold the belts hostage for years, don't just relinquish the belts GTFO of the sport.

    first canelo tries to do a lowball 5mm to get out of the fight which backfires on him when benevedez agrees to the offer so canelo now goes teh way of a 200mm highball to get out of the fight.

    im sure canelos PR team has tried to tell him not to speak to the media about benevedez but hes so clueless and delusional that he is beyond hope.

    seriously?...."no one can beat this version of canelo" because he was able to knockdown a 154 pounder?...

    jermell would not even entertain the thought of getting in the ring with benevdez...
