Canelo eyes another lame zebra

[Master]

CANELO ALVAREZ has reportedly agreed a new two-fight deal with DAZN.

And one of those will be a stunning trilogy bout against Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin.

BoxingScene claims Canelo will return to DAZN on a lucrative new contract for two mega fights.

The four-division champion is taking on WBA light heavyweight king Dmitry Bivol on May 7.

And Canelo is then ready to close the chapter on his saga with Golovkin by facing the ace for a third time on September 17.

The pair drew their first fight in 2017 before Canelo won the second a year later.

And it’s reckoned they could collide at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

While Canelo takes on Bivol, Golovkin is determined to face Ryota Murata in a middleweight unification fight.

Should both men come through unscathed, they will play out their trilogy in a super middleweight championship bout.

It’s reckoned Canelo’s new deal could see him pocket as much as $100million from the two fights.

The fights will be promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, with Canelo having received propositions from Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime.

They wanted Canelo to fight undefeated WBC middleweight champ Jermall Charlo, which could have fetched up to $50m depending on pay-per-view figures.

And Canelo had also discussed a September bout against ex-WBC super middleweight king David Benavidez.

The Mexican returns to DAZN after going to PBC and Showtime for his last fight, a win against former IBF middleweight champion Caleb Plant.

That alone took in 800,000 buys on PPV.

And DAZN is expected to also go for a PPV format for Canelo’s two upcoming fights.

You damn traitors dazn, PPV, that's a shame...


Bivol is pretty good though, pretty quick and a good mover which Alvarez doesn't like, he's pretty small at 175 though so I doubt he'll have a weight advantage here, I think it'll be pretty close though and not a guaranteed Alvarez win. Light heavy weight Alvarez v a forty year old Golovkin who's also never been particularly big is less interesting despite how obviously skilled Golovkin is.

[Primo Carnera]

You cannot fault Canelo if he takes on Bivol, only Canelo haters could criticise it. But why the fuck is a 40 GGG even in the mix?
You should never hope somebody loses, but if Murata beats him first and scuppers the fight , it would be good for Boxing.

Soooooo..... DAZN is offering a PPV fee of $60 to current subscribers and $80 to new subscribers. A whole $20 savings to those already doling out subscription fees. Wow. I'm really missing out.

As far as the two fights, I've already gone on record for giving Canelo credit for the Bivol fight. That doesn't change my opinion of him and the hype machinery that created him. But yeah... I'll give him credit.

GGG?

Please.

Golovkin didn't take advantage when he had the chance, and opted for leaving it up to the Las Vegas judges (whew... excuse me).

He obviously didn't get the memo that the only way you get a decision against Canelo in Vegas is if Canelo's out cold and can't be upright to get his hand raised.

GGG gave Canelo too much respect and, even though he actually won the first fight..... (see sentence above).

Now Golovkin's OLDER... Canelo's BIGGER... and of course I've always known that Ginger's got a pretty good chin.

So why the FUKK is this fight happening in the first place??!??

I know... to further Ginger's legacy by knocking out a decrepit old man.

GGG couldn't do it the first two times. What's the fukking point of them trying it again??



Now... after all is said and done... is Ginger ever going to face Beterbiev?

Or is that fight going to marinate until Artur is 40 years old?

I gave Canelo both fights, without issue.

I don’t get the controversy. It’s just idiots with the Mayweather effect, just hoping he loses.

GGG wasn’t good enough then and isn’t good enough now that he is older.

I am not like a “super” Canelo fan or anything either, but he won.

His only option is to go to LW (which he has done again) or CW, as there is literally no one to test him, short of somehow getting to the weight to fight Crawford.

Which he won’t do because it’s pointless and he destroys Crawford in a few rounds.

He really shows that level matter. He is just levels above everyone.

Beterbiev is not even worth mentioning because he is a scumbag from a scumbag country.

[Master]

Golovkin won the first fight against Canelo and Beterbiev would be his biggest test now. Bivol is the 2nd biggest test for Saul.

Huge credit to Canelo if he takes up these challenges. They are dangerous for him and he deserves his millions for taking them on.

[Spicoli]

Dazn failed coming Stateside and Andrade managed to tie the anchor around his career. Now they kneecap annual subscribers with ppv. But Canelo and Bivol is an honest fight me thinks..a rarity. Thought for sure he would make him come down as CW . Undercard better be decent. Yes that still matters.

You thought Canelo won both GGG fights... fair enough. I would venture to say you're in the minority, if I were to base it on opinions you read and hear across the board. But such is the nature of boxing decisions.

Your comparison to the "Mayweather effect", as you call it, is (if I'm to be kind) puzzling to say the least. I never liked Floyd the person... and many times rooted against him. But in no way does his resume and Canelo's compare. Floyd went headlong into challenges, undefeated record be damned. Other than the Pacquiao fight, which took way too long to materialize, Floyd faced all comers. No weight draining... no diva clauses... no marinating. You can't say the judges were bought because most judges probably wanted him to lose also. Floyd was, for all intents and purposes, not a very likable guy.

But Floyd's list of opponents over the years reads like a Who's Who of boxing. Most were at or close to their peak. Floyd never jumped two divisions to grab a trinket from a woefully weak belt-holder simply for the trinket's sake. And this is all from a person who never liked Floyd.

So spare us the "Mayweather effect" comparison, please. It does not apply here. If you can't see how Mayweather's and Canelo's careers have been way different, I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Has Floyd regressed into a carnival act? Fighting bozos like McGregor and Logan Paul? Absolutely. An ATG of his caliber cannot stand being out of the spotlight. But that's neither here nor there. When he was actively fighting, he fought many of the best out there. There was never this preconceived, carefully put together strategy to preserve his precious "0". In fact, several times he came perilously close to losing it.

BTW... nothing wrong with being a "super" Canelo fan. Own up to it.
