    He has a chance. Probably would favour briedis and Okolie but he would smash goulamirian to bits. So I can maybe see him going after the WBA belt after Makabu. Anyway thoughts on this?

    I think he'll vacate the belts and go down to light heavyweight.

    No, he will not. He will avoid Briedis and Okolie like the COVID19.

    No. He wins his token trinket in a fifth weight class then he will vacate. He did the same thing after Kovalev at light heavy.

    No, he would never in this life time fight Briedis or Okolie but at this point i dont care. He's moving up in weight and i can't criticize that, what i can criticize is him not fighting the top LHWs

    eventually. once he unifies 175, if he can. whats left? the guy is not going to stop reaching till he falls. this is reynosos life project, to push canelo as far as he can reach, so that he can see his own reflection in that success. all those talking bunk, tell me, has canelo done anything in the past you said he would never do? yet you keep being small about it.

    Nope.

    Return to 168 for mandatory defense.
    Being undisputed at 175.
    Retirement.

    He probably will.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Beterbeiv before 2023

    Going to Cruiserweight raises so many questions, does he stay at 200, does he go back to 175, or even 168?
    I want Benavidez to go to 175, that would somewhat force Canelo to go there aswell, as there would be nothing left at 168.

    He's gotta settle at 175, right? RIGHT?
    :eeeeek:
