Wrong Benavidez LOL he could hardly walk let alone fight due to his shattered knee. Mall should pick on his big brother David, but like the Ginger wonder Canelo he's avoiding him like he had the plague. I'm serious here If Canelo does cherry pick Mall for his last fight for PBS. I hope the fans treat him like the great Mexican fans did before when Canelo handed back the WBC 160 belt he won at 155, back to GGG because he claimed he wasn't really a middleweight ROFLMAO. As the Mexican fighters & fans in gym said at the time Mexicans are Fighters!!! Not Cowards. Therefore we DISOWN Canelo he cannot be a true Mexican or he'd FIGHT like a man. Anyone that buys that Canelo/Jermall garbage cannot be a boxing fan or support such a fraud
Yet they felt they needed to make this a catchweight. Not arguing that he is a small boy or anything, but he is not a super-middleweight and has never competed at the weight. To suggest that he should fight the undisputed super-middleweight champ is fully open to legitimate criticisms.
So Canelo ducked GGG during his best years, waited four years to give him the trilogy and duckedBenavidez ? History will remember all this.
I actually don´t mind it. It will be a blockbuster even and in one where a really good fighter has the opportunity to cement himself as a great. But Jermall? Why?
Canelo fighting Crawford is ridiculous. Crawford is a very good fighter, but we don't know if he can A. make weight, B. how much of his skillset will carry up.
The first fight could have taken place in May 2016 as planned and not September 2017. 15 months is not nothing for a boxer of around 35 years old. If Canelo had taken GGG immediately the trilogy could have been completed by September 2017.
