Re: canelo returns may sixth
De la Hoya can bugger off, the catch weight and limits have gone since Alvarez left de la Hoya, he went up and beat three undefeated supermiddle weight champs with no nonsense. Not his fault they were 2/3rds British..
Ryder is an uninspiring match up to be fair to de la Hoya but British boxing fans are quite easy to milk money from.

i'm happy for john the gorilla to get this shot, he should have had a championship already but he was robbed against callum. john also has wins over danny jacobs & zach packer in his last two fights. canelo is coming off surgery & it's a homecoming fight for him & he's still talking about challenging himself against dmitry again at one seventy five next, so i'm good with this fight

Heroically, I might add.

Ryder was not robbed against Callum, just as Jacobs was not robbed against Ryder. They were close fights that could have gone either way.

He already has. Bivol is a LHW and should fight Beterbiev. Canelo is a SMW, stick to clearing them out.

Yep. So why didn’t he take it? He had the rematch clause.
Everything has been proved already. Sure, Canelo can pick off some low hanging fruit at LHW, but came short at the top level.
No disgrace in that. Stick to SMW.
Re: canelo returns may sixth
after the ggg fight canelo is said to have had surgery, i thought the plan was always to have a lesser fight in may with the dmitry rematch possibly in september. if everything's already been proved then it would definitely be a challenge to take the fight again. it's not a disgrace to lose to dmitry. i agree canelo should stick to super middle
Re: canelo returns may sixth
I'm all for Canelo to go after Bivol again. He should go for it.

I would. But I can’t see it happening. And I would prefer Bivol v Beterbiev before it’s too late , if it’s not already too late.
“IF” Benavidez beats Plant at the weekend (and I hope he doesn’t) I would much rather see Benavidez v Canelo.
