Canelo now a free agent

[Ron Swanson]

Plant wanted the fight. Smith was the guy Canelo wanted most.

Crazy there isn’t a thread about how Eddie and DAZN, Oscar and Golden Boy defrauded Canelo. DAZN will never sign a big fighter in the US again. If Canelo talks Golden Boy is done too

Just like I already said I shed no tears for DAZN... you can throw GBP in that pot as well.

DAZN was all set to blow TV off the boxing map and create their own monopoly... GBP had its Golden Goose... and Canelo was the beneficiary of both, aided by his godfathers in the WBC.

Their squabble was a godsend... and I couldn't be happier. ESPN and other networks are ready to pick up the slack... and already have been. The fans are the winners here.

I seriously doubt Smith was Canelo's preference over Plant. Plant was a sure KO victim... whereas Smith poses a legitimate threat to Canelo.

You do the math.

Of course the boxing tabloids will report oh... how Canelo so badly wants to face Smith. Right.

I don't care who makes it happen and how. Just get it done.

caleb & callum are both sure ko victims for canelo

Weird, so in a month. Wonder how long these two have known they were likely fighting around this date? I think Canelo probably looks pretty good here, solid opponent to shake some rust off with. Benavidez is the only guy actively campaigning at 168 I think I'd be real interested in seeing him fight.

@Ron Swanson, looks like you got it wrong AGAIN about Eddie Hearn “and his lies.” Don’t know what he’s done to you in the past, but I think you need to let your hate go on him.
As for the fight, anybody who rates Callum Smith (like me for example.) has to give Canelo props win or lose. Nobody can keep saying he’s taking soft options or avoiding people.
People can argue by all means that there are tougher fights , but name me one single fighter, now or in the past that always took the toughest fight out there?
Should be interesting.
