Canelo's opponent for September ?

[apollo creed]

Maybe it is Munguia's happy moment ?

Good call.

He may be Canelo's next opponent.

[oogiebe]

I want Callum Smith. Would like to see Canelo in with a guy who he (maybe) can't out muscle.

[jamamb]

i want callum too

[oogiebe]

i want callum too

Seems to me to be his best challenge. Would love Smith to KO him.

[jamamb]

the size difference would be hilarious and callum is serious up close and a younger guy himself, it would be a extremely impressive feat to me if canelo beat him

[Best Coast]

Michael Benson (TalkSport) claims that Kovalev will not fight Canelo next. So, Kovalev, Andrade and Smith are out of game.
Golovkin or the others, that is a question.

I originally picked Kovalev as a likely Canelo foe for September but just found out that Kovalev is fighting Anthony Yarde in August:

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2019/07/se ... in-russia/

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is reporting that Sergey Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde is set for August 24 in Russia

PLUS Canelo's knee problems could keep him from fighting ANYONE in September:

One problem that could get in the way of Canelo fighting in September against Kovalev or Gennady Golovkin is a knee problem the Mexican star is experiencing. According to Arum, the 29-year-old Canelo Alvarez having problems with one of his knees. Presumably this is the same knee that has been giving Canelo problems for a couple of years. He wears a knee brace during his fights to guard it .

#10 WBA super middleweight contender Eric Bazynum (excuse the spelling)

I'm good with any of the options above..should take place, of course, outside of the omnipotent NSAC and its dream team..

[boxing_rocks]

Arum says that Canelo is having issues with his knee. Here is something which may confirm that:

September may be out of the question if his knees are truly injured.
I hope it's nothing to severe. I don't personally like him. But I wish him no career ending injuries

Multiple sources have informed BS.com that Golden Boy Promotions provided an offer to Kovalev’s promoter, Main Events, on Tuesday that Kovalev and his handlers have deemed unacceptable. The exact figure is not known, but BS.com has confirmed that it’s less than half of the $12.5 million guarantee Alvarez’s previous opponent, Daniel Jacobs, made for their middleweight title unification match May 4 in Las Vegas.

[coneye]

Thought long and hard , about who would be a good opponent , and came up with the answer ,

COULD'NT GIVE A FOOK .

Does'nt matter who they are , they will sell there souls , and agree to fighting in Vegas , Canelo weight limits , and farscicle hydration clauses , all to give el cheato a big advantage ,

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wow! It’s now saying he’s in talks to likely make a fight with Munguia.

[ValMar]

Munguia has received an offer, and he (and his team) is/are interested. Highly interested..............
This might be too early for Munguia, anyway, he could become a very rich youngster, very soon.................

Who wouldn't be interested and has somebody ever been not interested in fighting Canelo unless they are deliberately lowballed like Kovalev?

Good call.

He may be Canelo's next opponent.

"This morning I spoke with [Golden Boy CEO] Oscar [De La Hoya] and he asked me if there was interest in the fight between Jaime and Canelo," Beltran told ESPN Deportes.

"I told him that our interest is very high and then he sent me an offer that we are reviewing. It would be sensational for Mexico if two of its champions face off and put our boxing on top." @ bs

[jamamb]

mungy barely got by denny hogan, couldve easily loss

might as well strike for millions while your still hot with your belt and unbeaten record. hes young and can use that to still be hyped again even with a loss

[ValMar]

"The zero" slightly, but surely is becoming some kind of golden calf. Should we worship the fighters with "the zero".
Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Lewis, Klitschko brothers, Holyfield, Tyson, etc, etc..........All of them had some losses..............

How can you include the Klitschko's in that line up?

I have to admit I don't know much about Munguia but I don't imagine too many are going to be thrilled by the prospect of this match are they?

[Enlightened-One]

Kathy Duva has apparently confirmed that Golden Boy has made an offer to Sergey Kovalev to face Canelo, but she thinks there might not be enough time to negotiate the bout due to the Russian being on the brink of signing to face Anthony Yarde.

This could simply be a negotiating tactic (forcing GBP’s hand to quickly submit a better offer), since I’m not entirely sure about the justifications for the so-called time limitations, since Team Kovalev could ask the WBO for special permission to pay his mandatory challenger to step-aside (a fight that has already been delayed on multiple occasions).

Golden Boy’s offer for the Canelo fight might be Sergey Kovalev’s final and only remaining opportunity to receive a huge payday to engage in a super-fight against a marquee name considered one of the sports’ top-five pound-for-pounders. So it’ll be really weird if Krusher declines the fight, in preference to face lesser opponents’ offering much smaller purses.

Also, Golden Boy’s Eric Gomez and Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn have both confirmed that they’ve spoken about a potential bout between Canelo and Demetrius Andrade.

We also know that Jaime Munguia’s promoter has claimed that they’ve received an offer for the Canelo Alvarez fight, with the young 154lbs Mexican also being considered as GGG’s next opponent.

Of course, it’s also possible that Canelo might be forced to endure a prolonged period inactivity, sitting on the side-lines, waiting for his knee to recover from injury/surgery.

Either way, it seems that Canelo has no interest in facing GGG again prior to Cinco de Mayo 2020.

[greg]

Bottomline: Canelo has no intention to fight GGG any time soon..has been more or less clear for a while..

[candyslim]

I can't say I'm too upset about that. Great fights no doubt but if it's in the same location it's likely to be the same result: GGG isn't likely to stop Canelo, he hasn't before, he won't win a points decision in Vegas, and at his age isn't likely to improve on his previous performances.

I think if they fight again it's likely Canelo will get an undisputed win on merit, but for me it doesn't alter the fact he definitely lost the first fight and arguably the second one too.

In short to me it's all a bit

yep, that's pretty much the way I see it..

Kathy Duva says the lack of Pay-Per-View involved in a potential clash between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev is hampering negotiations.

The Main Events boss told WBN on Friday an initial offer from Golden Boy was miles away from where Kovalev wants his purse to be.

This means talks must continue, even when Kovalev is in the final stages of confirming his next fight.

Anthony Yarde, Kovalev’s mandatory challenger, is being lined up for August in Russia. Time is fast running out for Canelo to make a last-ditch attempt to sway Kovalev away.

Considerable step-aside money would be needed for Yarde. Kovalev’s cut also needs a massive boost in order to get the clash over the line.

Duva believes staging Canelo v Kovalev on the paid format, rather than on streaming service DAZN, would be a huge help.

“This would have been an easy deal to make in a PPV situation. People are calling it a super fight after just one week of publicity. The buzz is terrific,” Duva exclusively told World Boxing News.

“Sergey and Main Events would have gladly worked on a fair split of the revenue in a PPV situation. This is because we believe so strongly in the success of the event.

“But DAZN and GB have gone to great lengths to tout their intention to kill PPV.

“So, if they want to make big fights, they are going to have to pay for the opponents upfront.

“They seem to be willing to do so with others. Other than Golovkin, Kovalev is the biggest, most recognizable name to casual boxing fans that Canelo can plausibly face.

“Yet they expect him to put his title on the line for the same money they would pay for an average top ten middleweight opponent.
