    'but i don't wanna see Canelo fighting someone who is jumping up weight classes'

    but you're okay With Canelo being the one going up weight classes to fight Benavidez...hmmm.

    They're three of the most commercial fights in boxing. AJ vs Wilder is basically a shootout - not going to lie, I'd probably pay to watch it.

    "Best" fights is very subjective. Plenty people would say the light-heavy unification was a very technical fight but not for the casuals, but I would argue it's the best fight out there just now.

    Considering Canelo wanted nothing to do with him at 168 then yes I'd like to see him move up as its a good fight. 160/168 is a wasteland right now

    Exactly Canelo was a clear duck when they were at the same weight.

    The only reason Benavidez moved up was because Canelo was ducking him.

    It's a much better fight

    See where you're coming from in principle but Crawford's supposed to go up 2 weights having only had one fight (I think) at his current weight LMW, but Nelo has already fought at LHW, different scenarios.

    True but Canelo has also fought at 160 a lot and isn't massive, and Crawford looked okay at 154, Canelo went to LHW and looked well out his depth, so he is a 160/168, Crawford was tight at 147 so really he is a 154 now, and he is similar in walk around size to Canelo, so the weight isn't that big an issue in my opinion.

    Glad that, that passive aggressive chip on his shoulder fool Nakisa and his idiot sidekick Jake Pawn got played by Canelo and Turkey.

    Canelo is pretty big for 160, he is short of course but is thick. I bet he would struggle to get down to 160 again.

    Canelo is fighting Paul?

    Give me a break!

    On the other hand, Canelo vs Crawford being off is a big one off.
