And Duran went up to 160 to challenge an ATG in Hagler and beat a good middleweight in Barkley.

But, I agree, there is no financial reason to face Canelo when Showtime will pay him the same amount of money to face lesser competition.

However, do we all agree that Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, and Devon Alexander are not as difficult opponents as Canelo, Trout, or Lara?
