    I look at this like I did AB moving up to box Paulie. AB knew & Canelo knows this is an easy pick.
    Cheesburger JR is washed up as a real opponent for any boxer and it looks nice on paper to say you moved up and took out a legendary name in the sport. Smoke and mirrors and I doubt JR makes weight anyway.

    Canelo will have a nice highlight KO or TKO again with this choice.

    And yet, Canelo vacated at 160, rather than face GGG.

    Too bad he dropped a belt in a weight class below.

    Canelo is definitely ducking GGG at the moment, but he's not considered P4P #1. GGG is... why is it Canelo will fight ATG, future hall of famers. But GGG won't?!? It's pretty simple why are other guys so willing to test themselves but GGG not

    Name me a fighter that Canelo beat who is capable of beating Golovkin at 160.

    Yeah of course,Canelo has made a take or leave it offer,what's the chances that Chavez will be able to make weight anyway,even with no drug testing its gonna be next to impossible for him to make that without coming close to killing himself,Canelo knows this and would have such an easy time of it against Chavez who looked poor in his last ten round affair.
    Chavez has been away for too long,Mexico might buy but not boxing fans.

    And yet somehow the guy who drops his lineal champs belt at 160 somehow gets in the que over Khurtside to face Saunders,nobody ever labled Khurtside a coward did they?

    Im afraid the days of Canelo being a real boss are long long gone. Regardless of what GGG does or does not do it doesnt make Alverez any less of a Pollo.

    I hope this goes disastrously wrong for Canelo and a motivated Jr comes into the ring. While crude, he has intangibles, fitness, and a great chin when in the zone and would outweigh Canelo on fight night for a change..
