    If he can't take a middleweight's power then this should turn out to be ill fated. Mike Perez rumoured to be the pick. Not one I'd fancy him in tbh.

    He got a nice payday from Canelo he needs to retire before ends up getting hurt.

    It's just dangerous for him to do so.

    Such a bad idea, not even a “money” division. With his stamina too.

    What a stupid idea. Especially more so if this is true.

    This content is protected


    He weighed 180 for the Alvarez rematch, 182 for Yarde, and about the same for the ginger juicer/poster boy for corruption in the sport. He was coming as high as 187-189 at one point in his career but even that's too light for CW. If he comes in at 185 he'll be giving away at least 20lbs and even 30lbs against some CWs.

    And why Mike Perez? A former HW who can punch, has very fast hands and a good chin?

    Who cares? After his pathetic display against Canelo, nobody will tune in to his. It is over Sergey.

    Because the man is insane. Perez could punish him very badly.

    Pathetic?. You do realize he was arguably winning before getting knocked out, right?.

    I mean sure, he could've been. He was down on the official cards though.
    He never really tried to win, he was looking for an out, and seemed to be relieved it was all over. Then the comments afterwards about him not ever really having a chance and the fight fans were dumb for thinking he did? He never put his foot on the gas, and fought completely different from any other fight he has ever had. Maybe paid off? Maybe didn't care? Who knows.
    Look I know you live to support Canelo so I won't argue with you, and that is likely your only reason for quoting me (to defend his victory), but yes I thought his effort was pathetic.

    It was definitely dominant but passively so, like it was light sparring. He fought like he was paid not to push the pace.
