    All one fighter does is fight mandatories or gimme fights, with a very rare and occasional good fight.

    The other fighter fights the opponents fans want to see with an occasional mandatory or gimme fight.

    ROFLMAO When does Pollo fight the guys the fans want him to ????? Even when he fights the Kirklands, Khans , Yildrims & Chavez jr's of this world he STILL had to have every possible advantage & KNOW he couldnt lose or he wouldnt fight. Yet you & Pimp etc worship him like a god ROFLMAO
    Name me one fighter he fought that had a chance against him & was given a fair honest fight?? You cannot he never did

    Perhaps you need to speak to the WBA who have made him mandatory. You could argue Callum Smith was not that good as well.

    Yildirim is burning garbage. Eubank jr who is decent but no world beater ripped Yavni to shreds. Canelo is going to do this to him

    for the love of god no more Brits!!
    Alvarez has proven his point already....none of these guys are trying to get down anyways.

    let's get the Charlo fight, or at worse Andrade. Hell even Jamie Muguia would be a better fight. let's start giving some real fighters the opportunity to fight for the title. I guarantee the fans will get much more entertaining and competitive fights.

    if Canelo goes back to the UK again im done with him! at least not anytime soon

    That's fine, at least he's staying active and getting a mandatory out of the way by adding a date to his schedule, instead of using one of his two slots per year to cheat the fans with. Also, it's better than him not fighting at all.

    As long as he has 2 other REAL. Fights this year I don't care.
    Chavez, Toney and Tyson used to do this back in the day. Multiple fights a year, 1-2 good ones the rest were just to stay busy

    Disappointing fight but not Canelos fault as it's a mandatory.

    Only fighters that pose a challenge to Caenlo is BJS or Bivol. The likes of Plant, Benvidez, Yidlim, Charlo are just too poor.

    Or canelo could try and actually really beat GGG this time. I agree with majority on this forum in that GGG deserved to win both fights.

    S**t fight. I just hope Canelo gets it out of the way very early and the build up is quiet. Will realistically be over in 4 rounds.

    Jeezo, this is a step back from Smith!

    Yildrim made Eubank Jr look like a word-beater ffs!

    I suppose if it's a stay-basy fight till a big one in May it don't matter as much, but I won't be paying PPV for that!

    The fight is trash but it is a mandatory, how the WBC has him as a mandatory no one knows certainly not any in ring accomplishment.
