    The year is 2008. DLH is angling for a rematch with Mayweather on what was the biggest PPV ever. Floyd retired immediately after DLH only to comeback against Hatton and re-retire. DLH remained singularly focused on Floyd and selected Steve Forbes as a tune-up to help prepare. In that tune-up fight DLH won~10-12 rounds but simply didnt look good at all. DLH's next fight is 6 months later and he faces the smaller Manny Pacquiao and gets blitzkrieged into retirement.

    The year is now 2025 and Canelo is lined up for a possible legacy fight with Terrence Crawford in September, 2025. To maximize intrigue Canelo is set to unify against William Scull who was an email champ aland awarded his 168lb belt because Canelo put off mandatories too long. Needless to say, Canelo fights and wins ~10-12 rounds against Scull but does not look good at all. Canelo will now fight Crawford, an undisputed champ at 140 and 147 and a regular champ at 135 and 154, whose moving up in weight again.

    Will Bud pull a Pacquiao on Canelo? Or is this fight altogether different? Crawford is older and Canelo isnt moving down in weight at all, but DLH probably looked better against Forbes than Canelo did against Scull.
