168 is a very weak division, and you are not going to sell these guys as opponents worthy to fight the “face of boxing.”
I’ll give you Saunders, which would have been more interesting years ago. Canelo is going to beat the breaks off Saunders & Plant. He may even stop them, which indicates just how poor the division is.
Let’s just be real here. Do you really believe these are entertaining matchups? Put the Stan shyt aside
Canelo is a great boxer, who is potentially in his prime right now.
As a sports fan, of course I'm excited to watch a great athlete perform at their peak. In the same way I would get excited to watch Barry Bonds, or Lebron James play, I get excited to watch Canelo fight.
As a boxing fan, yes I'm excited for these matchups. Against Saunders, Canelo is fighting a two division, undefeated world champion, and against Plant, he faces an undefeated world champion. Beating both would make him undisputed, which, regardless of what people like to say on here, is not an easy task in boxing. It's a notable achievement that few accomplish, and it's absolutely something that will compel me to watch Canelo fight.
