  • Seems like Canelo has fought every white guy in the book over the last 6-7 years or so.

    • Because Supermiddle weight is loaded with white guys look at the rankings. Every belt he owns all 5 were white the WBO,WBC,IBF and WBA. Had no other choice. Not until Charlo, Andrade, or that really good kid from Cuba move up to challenge.

    • It’s true ..Albanian guy, 3 British fighters, plant, Bivol (he’s kind of Asian l), ggg 3 times, washed up and drained kovalev..after he fought mayweather , he’s avoided black fighters ..Kirkland trash and jacobs was well digressed and completely drained (as saw in prior fight and fights following)…weird but true that Canelo could muster 10 fights against white guys in that period lol

      • All the belts he owns belonged to white champions and he unified against all of them what’s he’s supposed to do he can’t unify against non white fighters if there aren’t any.

  • The result fight should be as expected, with so many fighters that could give Canelo and the paying fans a more interesting fight such as with Morrell, & Bandera roja, then why Ryder?

    • Bandera was getting ready for plant an morrel fought last week! If after Ryder he does not fight bandera,morrel or charlo then yes he’s avoiding.

  • He needs his confidence back after the absolute ass whopping Bivol gave him and will give him again in the rematch. Can’t wait to see it again!!

  • The amount of hate Canelo gets never seize to amaze me. The man fights everybody and is the ONLY pro fighter to fight on a regular basis. Fury, Wilder, Haney, Spence etc etc fight once or at the most twice a year and yet it’s Canelo that gets all the hate Clownworld

    • I don’t consider myself a Canelo’s hater because it takes a lot to put on some gloves and go toe to toe with an opponent and putting hurt on each other. Just because I disagree with his level of opposition having at least three excellent opponents Morrell, Benavidez, and Bivol.

  • I just looked up Canelo on box rec. Canelo is fighting the best if the best. Bivol is too big for Canelo. That being said He probably will fight him Morrell just called out Benavides…. So maybe the winner of that in 2024, I prefer Canelo to stick at 168.

  • At this point in his career, Canelo is winding down, so he will choose maximum profit for minimum risk. He has been fighting since he’s 15 years old
    Even if he has not been in major wars, the beatings in training camp take a toll on your body no matter what.
