    Andrade (the final belt and someone Canelo is on record as recently as 2 weeks ago saying he "won't" fight),
    Big Charlo (he and former champion Golovkin's actual mandatory),
    Saunders, (probably stylistically the worst matchup possible for him, and someone who just said today he'd go up to 175 and still fight him)
    Jacobs (who looked very good from midway through the end of their fight but acknowledges he probably won't get a rematch),
    Lara(arguably already has a win over him),
    Callum (the actual champion of his division),
    Benavidez (the actual #2 of his division),
    hell even Bivol (the actual #1 or 2 of his division) have all expressed interest in fighting him.

    Every single one of them poses a significant challenge stylistically to him, 6 of them are undefeated, all of them are at the highest level concerning rankings in every organization in their respective divisions. (Lara I believe is no longer ranked as highly but the others definitely are). A lot of guys want Canelo. And this doesn't even take into account some other guys (Lemiuex, Derev. etc....) that have expressed interest.

    Bivol recently said he'd like the Canelo fight either at 175 or 168

    Let’s be honest, nobody wants that smoke. He destroys everyone.

    A few people are desperate for the pay day though.

    A ton of people want to beat his ass for cash. OP isn't paying attention.

    Let's talk about his epic destruction of Amir Khan. Nobody could ever have imagined that Canelo could so emphatically KO a guy who's from 2 divisions under with a talcum chin held together by (single ply) toilet paper! I sure never expected that outcome! Epic win ...

    On the other hand if a boxer ran it close with Floyd they'd get a rematch.

    Maidana kicked Floyds ass the first fight and got jobbed.

    Stop with the BS Floyd was an honest fighter.

    1. You will be the B-Side
    2. You will fight in Canelo's backyard, and his backyard only.
    3. Will Canelo be on steroids or will he not? Who knows... all we know is no one cares, he's the A-side.
    4. The judges already have you down 2-3 rounds before the fight has started
    5. You will be expected to agree to all terms that Canelo puts on the table, no questions (loaded gloves and all)
    6. If you don't have KO power, there is no way you are beating Canelo on the cards

    If your life depends on the performances you put together, would you risk it against someone that is already slated to win the fight? Someone that may potentially be on steroids?

    Because they understand the little details, inside information if you will..

    • Catchweights
    • Rehydration clauses
    • Paid scorecards
    • Failed PED tests
    • PED use
