    If Kov wasn't years past his prime and hadn't got knocked out against Alvarez (not the ginger creep from Guadalajara but rather the Canada-based Colombian LHW one) Clenelo and Yarde wouldn't even contemplate going within a 500 mile radius of him if there was a ring and two pairs of boxing gloves located within it and Kov has already been ''low-balled'' before by one of the sports biggest pampered diva creeps (both literally and figuratively) and had his titles stolen from him by corrupt judges.

    Is it possible to remove "BREAKING" part from the title? This is ridiculous...

    Props to Canelo but why is this fight happening again? Who asked for this?

    Who will Canelo take after that, maybe Deontay Wilder at LHW?

    ****, how I hate these social media negotiations. Everyone just keeps talking **** to each other, as if that were anyway productive at all.

    Agree... I figured it was a negotiations ploy to put pressure on Golovkin. Dont really understand the move myself. Middleweight is perfect for Canelo and theres still good fights to be made there.

    How or why Kovalev is on the radar seems odd.

    Bozing already got Canelo vs Golovkin, twice. I wouldn't classify a third fight, nor a fight with Andrade, as super bowl level fights. Just imo though.

    Biggest fight for Canelo right now is probably Spence after he beats Porter.

    Let me guess, the counter offer is a catchweight of 170lb instead of 169lb? :dunno

    GGG sure. But I don’t think there’s any great demand for him to fight Andrade right now.

    That fight happening doesn’t bring any attention to the sport or draw huge numbers. I’m sure it will happen but it’s better if they take their time and build Andrade’s profile a bit more.

    I don't much care for these massive two weight jump fights. Especially not when there are perfectly good fights in their current weight class or even the one above.

    Andrade, Saunders, Charlo, GGG III, Smith, Benavidez are all really cool fights for Canelo

    No, there are 3, count them, 3 undefeated MW's including 1 that is his actual mandatory that all pose severe stylistic issues (styles which his last fight proved that he still has significant trouble with) that are waiting in the wings.

    There is absolutely no point in attempting a fight against the 3rd or 4th best fighter 2 divisions above (in what would almost assuredly be a loss).
