    How many years should be fight for if you are managing him?

    How many fights per year?

    I say he should fight another 3 years. 2 fights per year. Fight Benavidez. and call it a day after another 6 fights or so.

    To prove his greatness? Have him fight Benavidez, then have him re-match Bivol.

    But, what is far more likely is that he will fight several more no-hopers for unjustified big paydays before cashing out for $100,000,000 against a useless youtuber pile of garbage like Jake Paul.

    He should fight: Benavidez, Bud, move up and fight Beterbiev and then retire from his hand.

    European tour Scull, Sadjo, Mbilli, to start out.
    Final fight in America or Mexico vs whoever.
    Keep his reign at 168 and keep defending.
    Hell end his career as the greatest 168lber in history

    I honestly don’t really care to see him move up to 175 again, it’s pretty clear he isn’t a Light Heavyweight. If Benavidez can’t make the weight anymore then there really isn’t anyone for him to fight besides freak show bouts.

    Bud, Benavidez, then whoever he wants as his legacy would be etched in stone.

    If I were managing him I'd have him fight some bums, then that Paul dude that Tyson is fighting then another bum and then maybe drag Crawford up from the lower weights and bust him up. Retire.

    Christian M'Billi or David Morrell, followed by a farewell fight with David Benavidez. Most likely won't happen but we'll see how it plays out.

    Bivol, Benavidez or Crawford. Those are the fights that really interest me.

    Hey the question was 'if I were his manager'. If I were a manager and I could get my boy a bargeload of money for beating some stiffs, I'd do it. As a boxing fan clearly that would be an epically **** roster. I might still want to see Crawford if he thought he could fight at a higher weight. As a fan, I want to see Benavidez for sure. The sad thing is that Canelo would probably get 2x the money for beating the pudding out of Paul.

    As a Cinnabunz fan, I’m okay as long as he stays busy. I think he’s got at least 5 fights left in him. Twice a year on the Mexican holidays. Bivol rematch would be cool, but I’m not seeing a different outcome there. Bud? Sure why not. Bud is a great fighter, but canelo ain’t no slouch neither. I don’t think that fight would be as competitive as most would like to think. Really the only interesting fight right now is Benavidez, but even that one will lose its luster once Gvozdyk handles him.

    Who’s left? David Morrell? That would probably be a fun one.

    Berlanga? Lol.
