    He destroyed Ryder, he's earnt his top 5 ranking there's no doubt about that.

    If Benavidez, Morrell and Mbilli were all unavailable, or where actually scheduled, then Munguia would be the best of the non mandatory opponents.

    The problem here is all 3 of Canelo's mandatories, so the fights which are easiest to make, also happen to be the best 3 in the division, but he still won't fight them.

    Usyk vs duboi was the best available?
    Ope-who?
    Beterbiev????? LOL, a man who has been camping at the same weigth for decades and whose better victory is who?

    Canelo's career shits all over all of them but Usyk. And Usyk didnt do better than canelo, he just did similar, which is way more than good enough. Doing similar to canelo, or doing similar to Usyk if you prefer, is the best you can do. As I said, nobody fights the best available because they need to rest. Easy as that.

    Canelo fights at least twice per year, usually more, while Usyk fights "once a year and thank you", btw. Just in case you forgot. So there is actually an argument for saying that Usyk actually does even worse than canelo.

    I dont care who does better, though. For me what canelo does is more than enough, and I wish every boxer did like him, we the fans would be way happier.

    He'd fight Beterbiev for about 250 million and a Saudi princess's hand in marriage.

    Usyk v Fury
    Opetai v Breidis
    Beterbiev v Bivol

    Those 3 are all fights between the top two in the division

    Right now we should have Canelo v Benavidez which would also be between the top two in the division.

    pfff so what? beterbiev and bivol have been dodging each other for years, they are just cashing out (especially beterbiev). They fight now that beterbiev's career is ending.

    Opetai and Breidis. Who?

    Canelo shits all over them. At 22 he had fought better oposition than them all together. Canelo gives us better fights in a couple of years than them all together have given us in their whole careers. Actually, Bivol's best fight is canelo. They all have been camping the same weight for decades.

    I repeat, I wish every fighter were like canelo. Munguía is not the best available? no, he's not, still he's top 5 (top 4 actually, because caleb doesnt count. There are only 2 options better than munguía, and that's not totally true, the actual truth is that only benavídez is better option to munguía). Good enough for me.

    Clenelo is a cherrypicking fraud. As expected only the cringiest of fanboys are defending him here.

    There were people thinking that gg was going to win the 3rd, were you one of them?

    Jermell is an idiot, easy fight. He has the right to take an easy fight every now and then. Which fighter hasnt done that?

    Boxing needs a system in place to strip title holders who refuse to face their #1 contenders. Even the Saudis are going to be reaching limits with how much they are willing to shell out.

    Clenelo said all Benavidez offers is 25 lbs. I guess he meant $8 million a pound.

    Of course Lance, of course. You're acting like you don't obsess over the Cash cows. You were obsessed with De La Hoya, you were obsessed with Mayweather, and you're slobbering over Canelo. Facts

    Never mind so what. In those divisions we have the top two fighting. In this division we don't.

    Munguia isn't good enough.

    PBC doesn't have the money right now for that much. Maybe they will make enough $$$ from the Canelo/Mungia fight to get a DB/Canelo fight for September.

    It's literally news that just happened moron. Why do you always have to be so dishonest when defending your manlove Canelo? The dude ducked another fighter and priced himself out, its news, its currently the biggest story in boxing.

    :lol: Why are you so mad though

    It's the same group of 7-10 dudes that obsess over Canelo. I think AngryBirds has made 10 out of the last 15 Canelo threads :loel:

    Canelo has you guys shook :loel::loel::lol:
