    A 35 million dollar purse.
    It´s probably the biggest fight for him and if no one can guarantee him a similar purse vs someone else, then Canelo might be enticed by that number.

    Light heavyweight is not a "higher division" for Benavidez. He should fight in cruiserweight at least.

    Yes but he was not taller than his opponents at 154.

    And?
    We have weight classes for a reason, not height classes.

    175 isn't higher than 168? Dayum.

    You have to be. You can't condone a repeated ducking of a man who fights at 168 against others.

    You people were claiming Canelo was ducking Munguia too, before the fight was made.

    DDD says he is the king and he is the best, yet there are the following clearly superior boxers - he isn't even the best at 168: Usyk, Inoue, Beterbiev, Bivol, Crawford, Lomachenko, Shakur, Teo, Estrada, Bam Rodriguez, Benevidez.

    Duck, Drug, Decision.

    Canelo’s greatness cannot be questioned.

    He agrees to fight Benavidez, let’s say beats him…..then what? We question his greatness because he doesn’t go up to Cruiser to fight Opetaia? It’s bollocks. He has the best resume in boxing today.
