    No one wants to see this one way fight, Canelo by TKO if the fight happens...

    The only Scull I want to see Canelo fight is Red Skull, and even that would be a letdown. I'd much rather see him fight Skeletor.

    The last thing Canelo needs is another excuse not to fight Benavidez.

    The IBF don't rank Benavidez unfortunately. Bennie chose to stick with the WBC because they're the ones he got his belt with in the first place. He's loyal to them, which is a stupid move on his and his management's part because the WBC are more crooked than the Hunchback of Notre Dame. If Bennie really wanted to force Canelo's hand and make him drop a belt, he should have gone the IBF route like Scull has, since the IBF actually enforce their mandatories and get trigger happy stripping guys for even the smallest infractions of their rules (e.g., Bud, Opetaia). Even the WBO would have been a better choice honestly. The WBA and WBC are notoriously untrustworthy and corrupt, and Mauricio would like Canelo's boots clean if he so much as blinked at him right.

    I've said it before but, the sanctioning bodies really need to have a system when a guy is unified or undisputed, they have some sort of box off for a unified or undisputed #1 contender, not 4 #1 contenders

    I found a fight of his.

    Decent, but that hands down approach is a KO waiting to happen.

    I still don't know how this guy became the IBF mandatory without fighting anyone.

    168 is a very thin division.
