WTF is stopping Canelo from fighting Benavidez?

[TIC]

canelo has supposedly signed a three fight deal with pbc. jermall is probably up first in september. let's hope david b is one of the three fights

[Master]

I assume this will be on DAZN and Canelo is still with Eddie. A fight with Charlo would be a cracker a few years ago.

[Master]

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has signed a promotional deal with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and will return to the ring in September.

The multiple weight world champion was signed to Eddie Hearn's Matchroom, but has opted for a change in promoters.

Alvarez comfortably beat Briton John Ryder in May and is being lined up to face WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo next.

The 32-year-old Mexican announced the news on his social media.

American fighter Charlo has not fought since June 2021, but is undefeated in 32 fights with 22 of those coming by knockout.

PBC is an American promotion that also promotes the likes of welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr and Gervonta Davis.

Alvarez last fought at middleweight in 2018 when he beat Gennady Golovkin to become the unified champion.

He currently has 59 wins, two losses and two draws on his record.

WAR PBC!



WAR SHOWTIME!



WAR ESPINOZA!



WAR HAYMON!



WAR PPVWEATHER!



WAR EDDY REYNOSO!



WAR !! WAR !!



Eddie Hearn and the people at DeadZone must be on suicide watch



Dazn isn't a real player in 'Murica, GBP is imploding and is lead by a basehead and ESPN just doesn't have the talent for Canelo.

Canelo ? This white boy has some BALLS !! Charlo is the real bogeyman.

I don't get the Benvadez thing.

Unless he has great front skills and has as good of a "I'm coming to get ya" style as a Roberto Duran or a prime Mike Tyson then you're not beating Canelo with that slow one paced come forward style. Look at the fighters who gave Canelo the most problems ? Bivol and Money. What do they do ? They move. They fight at distance. They make the fight, a fight of athletism just as much as a fight. They have fast hands. Punch and get out. Benavidez does not of that.

Benny's best accomplishment is going the distance with a guy Canelo just knocked out the year before .....whole damn resume full of bums but some ppl's goofy ass think he's the sh*t.

Stop with all your jibber-jabbing @TitoFan

Canelo is the cash cow and he's doing cash cow shyte.

Charlo is the one guy I thought Canelo would NEVER fight. Well guess what I'm happy to say I was wrong. And see this is what I mean when I say if the fighters want the fight they make it happen.

He has a three fight deal now.

1. September 2023: Charlo
2. May 2024: Benavidez
3. September 2024: Spence at 164 if (and it's a BIG "if") he beats Crawford

I guess this means no berlanga for Alvarez, dazn were advertising him quite a lot last time i was watching, Andrade misses out too, Andrade has done an amazing job of not being able to fight bigger names, pretty impressive, although to be fair he was signed on to fight saunders wasn't he?.

Looks like alvarez has chosen the tougher super middleweight route here, with Charlo and benavidez or Tom Morello next year.. also there'll be no bivol rematch, which is probably good for Alvarez

Balls??

Damn... that's when I KNEW you'd lost the plot.

Charlo's the "real bogeyman" why... 'cause he's a "brother"? Gimme a break, dude. We all know how your boxing mind works. Hell... you put Monfils and Tsonga as 2 and 3 on your tennis GOAT list.

Regardless... I can't help you if you can't tell that Ginger has ducked Benavidez every which way but loose.

- Bivol wouldn't cave to his demands.

- Jack told him to go jump in a lake and hurry up and give the fans what they want and fight Benavidez already.

So who's next? Charlo.

Don't get me wrong. I'll be rooting so hard for Charlo, it'll seem like we're related or something.

But the guy hasn't fought in literally TWO FUKKING YEARS. That's a lifetime in boxing.

Also... (and I shouldn't have to be spelling these things out for you)... has it escaped your attention that Charlo has NEVER fought above 160??

Are you so desperate for Canelo to fight a "brother" that you overlook this very important fact??

This is a "Golovkin repeat", FOR FUKK'S SAKE!!

Did you forget how Canelo dragged the 40-year old GGG's ass to 168 to beat him also.




You see... this is what happens when objectivity gives way to fandom.

I honestly cannot listen to Spence for Canelo after it takes years to make/yet to win the biggest fight of his entire career and keep a straight face . It seemed to start immediately after Canelo getting him sone PBC, even prior with Spence speaking on it. Maybe I'm just too uptight for this new norm of guys arbitrarily bouncing around divisions while at the same time avoiding major fights in their very own reasonable and expected division. Yes, Spence is naturally bigger for 147...it's been mentioned for years now flirting with 154. But it gets ridiculous when the hypothetical meets the reality on the ground that we're all seeing before us. This 3 divisions to fit inside a year and a half. Silly stuff. We're not that desperate for BIG name fights. Plenty of work for Canelo yet to be done. Still. Take your Charlo from mothballs and do good work. But leave the welters and jr middles alone.

Right??

Where the hell did Spence come from? And who's to say he's gonna get past Crawford?

Are we going to have a repeat of Canelo vs. Khan??

'Cause of course we all remember what kind of circus... er... fight that was.

has it escaped your attention that Charlo has NEVER fought above 160??

do we even know if jermall can make one sixty after two years out?

Good question. Some fighters balloon up in weight (see: Ricky Hatton), while others keep themselves in fighting shape and weight no matter how long they're out.

Whichever the case might be with Charlo, they'd better bring an industrial-sized vacuum cleaner for all the ring rust that night.

canelo has supposedly signed a three fight deal with pbc. jermall is probably up first in september. let's hope david b is one of the three fights

I very much doubt it! If both fighters wanted it , there is absolutely nothing stopping it happening in September. (Notice in the interest of impartiality I put “Both fighters”)

to be fair it is a three fight deal. from a business point of view they probably want to capitalize on their investments as much as possible. a fight with jermall probably sells well. then a david b fight should be big in may twenty four, leaving a third fight against maybe demetrius. everyone thinks september is going to be jermall but david b doesn't want the david m fight now, after his manager already said the fight was signed, so there is a slight possibility it could be david b in september
