    Canelo is ducking Benavidez again. Benavidez should be the mandatory. How does Sheeraz leapfrog Benavidez for a title fight against Canelo. Canelo is afraid of Benavidez. And for those of you who say, oh, the sanctioning bodies say Sheeraz, we all know that's BS, regardless of what they say. Benavidez will take out Canelo.

    Let's hope Bud makes this all irrelevant by stopping the ginger.

    OP appears to not understand what weight classes are.

    Benavidez is not going back to 168. He rightfully moved up to 175 because his interim belt at 168 was useless, it's a shame but Canelo really was never going to fight David. I'm not so sure he would fight Sheeraz either. Canelo is not looking for hard matchups unless they are a star.

    Benavidez doesn’t fight at 168 anymore wtf is OP talking about. Benavidez was however mandatory for Bivols WBC belt but Bivol refused so now Benavidez is the full 175 pound WBC champ.

    Benevidez should be mandatory?? I'll say either a rematch or a tune up coming off a loss.

    No, Canelo has fully ducked Benavidez now. The duck is complete. Benavidez has left the division.

    Canelo should fight the best in the division.

    Canelo should have fought Benavidez but isn't Benavidez at LHW not SMW?

    Not going to lie, even though you're kind of a tit, you do drop a lot of these funny one-liners. :)
