Canelo vs Jason Quigley?

Offer made

[world ranked]

Cheap and not really a tough fight I understand. Don't like one bit.

[THESURESHOT]

I saw Jason Quigley at the Forum on the Bernard Hopkins finale fight and the dude hits HARD...but he got his ass handed to him 3 fights ago by a 36 year old. Canelo would take him out in 3 rounds or less.

[lazboy]

Politely, I've never heard of him but if an offer was made...surely Quigley would accept. Heaps of exposure, a world title opp and probably better money then he's ever made - money needed in these corona virus times....

I read about this, Canelo still apparently has a bunch of other options he's considering, it's not like they are waiting on Quigley getting back to them and will fight him if Quig says yes (which is what some ppl spin it into), they probably send out all sorts of things just to see what options they have for what they are willing to offer each guy

quigles has already said yes but they are still looking for an opponent, im betting it wont be him

[lazboy]

Just had a look at a news article and I believe you are correct Ms Thatcher. Sounds like it's an offer to be shortlisted to fight Canelo or something like that.

Quigley is an ideal cheap substitute that can be on standby in case the real September 12th opponent withdraws at the last minute due to injury or any other reason.

A bit like when Matchroom had Carlos Takam on stand by when Kubrat Pulev withdrew from the AJ bout.

Or when GBP had Gary O'Sullivan on stand by in case GGG had withdrawn from one of the Canelo fights.

I honestly don't expect GBP or DAZN to sign off on Quigley being the first choice candidate for Canelo's September 12th fight, but then again, we're only 57 days away from that date, which is eight weeks.

Time is clearly running out and anything is better than nothing.

All the other big-name fighters that compete from 160lbs to 175lbs are going to demand an impressive payday and also a full training camp in order to agree to face Canelo, so who knows what will happen?

The fight might not have any live gate receipt revenue and most boxers wouldn’t have been able to train properly throughout lockdown.

Fiht with Tureano Johnson would be very bad. Fight with guy who lost to Tureano Johnson is pure trash, even for a covid circumstances. This is even worse than Anthony DIrrell IMO

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

I get they cant afford much

Couldnt they afford someone like badou jack?

Can we just hold off on potential Canelo opponent rumors now until somebody is official. He's been rumored to be fighting at least 15 guys at this point.

[margaret thatcher]

I'm surprised they haven't fed him Lemieux already, I'd assume that's the whole reason they've had Dave signed

I assumed the same

They float names to get reactions. It is our duty to shot all over this

[margaret thatcher]

Quigley is worse than Rocky Fielding, so it would be really dreadfully awful from a competitive perspective, I really doubt it happens though anyway

[brilo33]

seen more or less every Quigley fight , i want him to do well but he aint top 10 for me,Tureano Johnson bashed him after rd 2 should of been stopped by 4th didnt like what ingle was doing not throwing in the towel , his comeback fights with lee havent shown me anything either, would love to see an irish man have a craic at the irish mexican,wont last long and would more or less retire jason

DAZN would have to approve the Opponent, Eddie Hearn said they would not approve Quigley or Tureano Johnson, Hearn said they have Approved C. Smith, D. Andrade, Bivol and John Ryder. I hope it is Bivol, D. Andrade, C. Smith, Ryder IN THAT ORDER, but it will probably be C. Smith or Ryder.

[margaret thatcher]

I'd jizz if it were Dimmy or Callum

[brilo33]

wont be Bivol he is the only fighter there i fancy to win, not saying the others have no chance just i would not be schocked if bivol won

[brilo33]

i think it will be john ryder, who i think will do london proud hope he gets his shot

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Canelo would destroy Ryder so naturally I expect him

[JxhDel.]

Is this worth all of that DAZN money? This is a joke.

[Thomastearns]

The problem here is that whilst holed up in his exclusive testing lab undergoing radiation gene therapy and various chemical enhancements the news of the Coronavirus has not yet filtered through all the numerous bureaucratic layers to one Saul Alvarez.

His terrified minions dare not tell him for fear of upsetting his delicate equilibrium. No one, not even Oscar or DAZN dare to even suggest that his holines -the pugilistic pope, might have to consider the ultimate of financial blasphemies - a pay cut.

It was bad enough dealing with that disrespectful russian bandit Golovkin and his scheming no- good Yankee promoter.

No way Jose!

Wu-flu (whatever that is) be damned!

Same f*cking problem every time Clenbnelo needs an opponent.
