Canelo Álvarez v Jermell Charlo September Thirtieth

[Master]

Didn't see this or any of the post fight talk, was there any talk of who Alvarez will fight next?

Canleo says he will fight on Cinco de Mayo, next year May and does not mind it being David Benavidez.

Believe it when I see it.

I think there's a good chance of him fighting benavidez, he signed for the wrong guys of he wants to dodge him, I would think that would most likely be the last fight on his three fight deal though,I think the promoters would like to build up benavidez more than he is before doing that and then if he does beat Alvarez then they got probably the best and easiest money they could out of Alvarez

Ginger won't fight Benavidez, if his Modus Operandi is any indication. He'll hem and haw. (Remember... there's a conga line of undersized fighters "calling out" Canelo and claiming they'll do better than Charlo... LMFAO).

The Cash Cow is still very much in business, and besides... there's at least one or two other undersized, undisputed, or otherwise big names out there to be had.

Eubank wants Canelo. Crawford has been discussed as a possible fight. Inoue can always fatten up a bit... and he'll be firmly on Canelo's radar.

Benavidez may or may not get Canelo.

And if he does... Canelo will have the readymade excuse that he's too old... and Benavidez would've "NEVER" beaten him at his peak.

Then it's off to Hollywood, and "The Canelo Alvarez Story."



Oops... sorry. Forgot about Haney.

For Benavidez I'd like him to stay lasered on Andrade. Especially if they are fighting in Vegas . But clearly, he's the numero uno long existing top challenge for Canelo. But as we've seen "challenge" is not exactly in the lexicon of Canelo and supporters are perfectly fine handing out pass after pass. Want to fight an inactive Jr middle off of of surgery...sure sure just dress it up real nice and use the phrase undisputed a lot...want to take a stay busy where the question is not will he win, but will Ryder make the bell or not...sure sure fine fine...want to even for a second refuse to rule out fighting a fookin welterweight...sure sure just make sure he's covered in belts again and they are all shined up nice. Oh and "undisputed" on the banner. That's important. Rinse repeat.

Sadly and as predicted, where does Charlo go for that matter? His performance or lack thereof burns the bridge to a restructure at 154 at least involving Crawford. Overall and in an instant, he's become a trivia question and no idea where his motivation will be after scoring a lottery and adding the weight. He and Tzsyu from a fans perspective would have been a very entertaining clash but again he played himself.

Charlo whored himself out for the greater "good." Win-win all around. Charlo gets his mega bucks for showing up and punching the clock... Canelo gets his umpteenth miserably meaningless and carefully constructed win for his (cough) legacy. More people now know about Charlo than ever before... because anybody that fights Canelo instantly gets known by Canelo's legions of casuals. I'm sure many Canelo groupies had never even heard of Charlo before this. Professional pride be damned. Charlo made the big bucks, after blustering how he was going to be "different." The same song and dance ALL the Cash Cow applicants utter during their gig interviews. It's a full-blown circus... complete with the shiny crown and flowing cape for "The Face of Boxing."

The thing is... I wish I could say I'm surprised or that I haven't been standing on the same ol' soap box for YEARS now. But I can't. Fact is I HAVE been preaching from the pulpit for a LONG, LONG time now. People want to call me a hater... that's quite alright with me. At least I'm old enough to remember having seen the MAB's, JMM's, and Moraleses of the past live up to the moniker of Mexican warrior. No diva clauses... no marinating of fights... no trinket chasing... no bought judges or boxing orgs... none of the crap we've had to put up with since Ginger became the anointed Face of Boxing. When was the last time there was any suspense surrounding a Canelo fight? Especially about the outcome. They're all foregone conclusions! Did he take a miscalculated risk against Bivol? Damn straight. And the judges came close to robbing that poor bastard as well.

Can't wait for the redhead to retire.

will you give canelo any credit if he fights david b in his three fight contract with pbc? as for suspense, i was saying before the dmitry fight that it was a really hard fight & most of us here agreed that dmitry was the second best light heavyweight in the world at that time, that fight was nowhere near a foregone conclusion. you see it as a miscalculation, i see it as an extremely difficult challenge
