Yes, this is the first bit of good news on the Canelo front for years. Turki wants the best fights made, so in a four fight deal there seems to be a good chance that at least one of them gets squeezed in.
And Canelo will likely not turn down a big offer, which Turki is clearly willing to make for fights he likes.
If Canelo faces the one who comes out on top of Bivol/Beterbiev/Benavidez all is good. That would be the perfect way to go out, win or lose.
Crawford just posted his his weight on instagram 186 pounds. And he looked trim doesn't look like he got fat
Yes 1 out of 4 fights might be good, how amazing! Turki apparently makes fighters fight good opponents yet Canelos first fight on the contract is one of his worst ever matchups. If that wasn't pathetic enough, we won't even get 1 good fight out of it. MAYBE if Bivol becomes undisputed but even that is a crap fight we have seen before, and won't even be an exciting fight.
One good fight out of four is still an improvement compared to where it was going. Benavidez/Bivol/Beterbiev are the only interesting ones out there for Canelo anyway, so if he fights the one that comes out on top it's pretty decent.
Amazing that he once made 135. But in UFC, Perreira wants to fight at 185 again, despite weighing 235 in camp.
Crawford has always been an epic weight bully. These lower weight guys are the biggest weight bullies in the sport. Walking around at cruiser and fighting 154 is a joke.
Such a weird fight to me... Doesn't have the feel of a super fight because of the weight difference.. Thought the same about De La Hoya vs Pacquiao though and look how that turned out after Oscar ****ed up his body dehydrating.
Hamzah Sheeraz? Seriously? He’s got a ton of potential, but fighting Canelo is way, way too early for him. His best traits are his height/reach (neither of which ever seems to matter a damn against Canelo somehow) and his power (also doesn’t matter against Canelo and his iron chin). I get that Hamzah couldn’t turn down the money for a Canelo fight (would probably be equally to every purse he’s earned added together, then multiplied by 10), but, man, just no. I like Hamzah. Don’t want to see him have his confidence and his roll ruined by stepping up that far that fast.
take a look at his abs in his fights. He shreds down to nothing, then dehydrates himself half to death to make weight. this isn’t an insult. It’s actually pointing out that there isn’t some big natural weight difference between him and Canelo.
Looks like Suarce vs Munguia II will be on the undercard, so there is at least one interesting fight on the card.
