    • It does not matter how many kos he has
      He can have zero ko and beat canelo
      The problem here is that skull is most likely a Uber driver
      Canelo should not accept this fight for respect to boxing fans

    • Cmon man. You rag on Canelo for not fighting “top fighters”. You tell him to fight a Charlo so he does, and makes him his bitch. He might be alot of things but a fake Champion he is not. He will walk through Benevides after Benevides walks through BooBoo.

  • What a way to prepare for a world title shot by fighting a 6 round fight. Never heard of this

    • It’s actually not a bad idea. Better quality than a sparring partner, keeps your blade shard and within reasonable weight.

  • The rules are constantly bent and ignored in Alvarez’s favor. Now that we have Benavides looking over the shoulder, all of a sudden the “mandatory” becomes the point of interest. Sign the fight with David and take on Scull as a stay-busy fight in the meantime.
    Nothing wrong with that, Chavez and many of the greats did the same to keep the blade sharp.

  • Google William Scull’s picture and tell me Canelo will entertain the idea of a fight with him LOL
    Scull looks like buckwheat from the little rascals minus the afro lol

  • Naaaaa canelo should fight Demetrius Andrade or bivol at the last Benavides
    But Andrade is harder than Benavides

  • How tf is a fighter who only fought lowtier twigs is no 1 in the IBF ranking, and much worse, should be entitled to fight Canelo? Even his compatriot Morrell with much better resume doesn´t get a title shot against Canelo.

  • How is this guy a Canelo mandatory when he’s still fighting 6 round fights against guys that have almost 20 losses?

  • It’s sad that boxing is the only sport with absolutely NO INTEGRITY. What legitimte sport allows fighters to pick & choose their opponents while hiding behind promoters. Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Golf, etc. are all structured with scoring systems & playoffs that can at least help to determine true champions with some degree of transparency. If Canelo doesn’t fight Benavidez in May, ppl should boycott his next fight. I honesty think he’s scared of him PERIOD!!!
