who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
not who you think he will fight next, but who you want him to fight next
Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
Plant.
To get all belts.
I wouldn't like to see him step to LT-heavy proper .. he is only 5'8 .. or 5'9" as DAZN no having him.
He would be giving far too much away. There are still some fights at middle/super middle to be made.

Who could honestly say Beterbiev v Alvarez isn't a fight for the ages
That would belong on the front cover of The Ring magazine along with best of them in history.

Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
i get the undisputed thing, but the plant fight doesnt really excite me tbh
Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
Unify v the last man standing at SMW who happens to be undefeated and has at least a 4 inch height and reach advantage.
The rest can wait.

The Beterbiev fight would be a great match up - although it could be the ruining of Canelo too. Its a real Russian Roulette type fight.
Beterbiev is a 6ft powerhouse .. Canelo is a 5'8" power house .. a good big one always beats a good little one springs to mind .. it could just be a step too far.
I'd rather see him matched against the best at middle/super middle, and enjoy his skills for another few years, than risk ruining him forever.

Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
He spent enough time beating up undersized outclassed opposition- like career welterweight Matthew Hatton who was never a world class welter and fought Canelo at 154 I think?, and Canelo must have been more than a stone heavier than poor little Josesito Lopez who he dragged up too- so I’m fvcked if I’d cry too much if he took a beating at 175. In fact I’d love to see him try not because I think he’d lose but because he’d have a good chance of winning and it would be an awesome boxing spectacle.

Lopez got paid 200,000 to go up to 154 and get massacred.
Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
I think 11-12 st at the moment is relatively weak and there isn't anyone who would be competitive enough for a real good fight.
I imagine GGG is past his peak but it would still be an interesting fight.
Past that he has to move up in weight and fight the elites of the light heavies or decent champs at cruiser or heavy to get my juices flowing.
Obv at heavy the likes of Fury or AJ would just be too big same goes for Whyte but I would fancy him fighting Ruiz
I have little interest in him fighting plant

Would like to see Canelo face Benavidez, think that could be a pretty entertaining fight.

No , there's no way . I watched it with no commentary and didn't even hear how Sky had it going .margaret thatcher wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 17:09 or maybe you actually got it right and everyone else just went along with the expected narrative![]()
Bivol was poor in my eyes and I expected far more from him and Richards did far better than I and everyone else thought he would .
You and many others are far more knowledgeable on the subject than myself had it clearly for him so that's good enough for me .
One of the scorecards was miles off though .
Re: who do you WANT canelo to fight next?
Plant....but only if that is his last fight at Super Middle and he goes to Middleweight
