Canelo’s short list

[palmerq]

Why? What's wrong with him?

Some possible reasons are, Murata not elite, but he is solid fighter and has a very large audience of 30 million viewers against N'Jikam. DAZN Japan also has very loyal fans. He holder the World Boxing Association World Middle Title also

If Canelo's willing to go to Japan to fight him, he must know something we don't. Canelo doesn't risk losses.

Murata isn't in the sam class as alvarez, he's no plum of course (Olympic gold and the fake wba title) but he's going to get stopped v alvarez... As an alvarez cheerleader I'd be a bit disappointed if this was the fight he chose, I like Murata too and watch him when I can(since he won the gold medal).

It'd be good for Alvarez to maybe get some fans in Japan though but otherwise meh. I'd still watch it of course.
