    So are the 3 B's ducking each other?

    If all 3 are in the Canelo sweepstakes, all 3 are capable of facing each other.

    Whilst Canelo further unifies the division we have 2 belt holders not unifying at LHW and a contender who's failed to make weight at 168 not stepping up.

    Not necessarily. It's Canelo who's going up and down in weight. It's canelo who went to SprMW to LtHW to SprMW again.

    Benavidez isn't fighting any of the SMW champs, so what exactly is he doing lol.

    Bivol and Beterbiev should be fighting each other, that's beyond doubt.

    just saying. Expecting guys to weight jump out of a division they aren't in isn't realistic. Bivol and Beter should be talking though, you are right. Would love to see that one.

    Benavidez has already failed to make weight at SMW, that's how he lost his title.

    He's already spoken about LHW.

    His point stands though. While Canelo is actively trying to unify everyone else seems to be just sitting around waiting for Canelo to call them up.

    Tommy Fury couldn’t knock the head off a pint of Lager.

    In that case, my prior posts are null and void, as I stand corrected :thumbsup:

    Well...are they really just doing that? I'm not privy to any insider talks from their camps on potential opponents. But IF they are, they're wasting too much valuable time.

    By making themselves available to fight Canelo it appears they get a free pass to not fight each other. Double standards

    With Canelo name dropping Bivol and Beterbiev, I'd be amazed if either take a legitimate fight in the meantime.
