BJS was supposed to fight Andrade before he tested positive.
And canelo officially added charlo to the list. He comin for everybodyCanelo wants all the Smoke
His resume and accomplishments when it’s all said and done
Jacob's was also champion.. Not to mention all the guys at 154 that was champion when he was still there fighting bums for years.. Great he had a shot with Saunders who he wasn't even trying to fight initially.. I remember him turning down a fight vs Dervyenchenko and calling out Spike O Sullivan..
None of these dudes are trying to fight each other.. They a just waiting around hoping to get picked by ggg or Canelo for a paycheck.. That "side of the steeet" bullshyt is just another excuse fighters you to duck and stall
Canelo-Andrade world title unification bout nearly a done deal, could take place on Oct. 19 or 26 in Las Vegas

Talks for a middleweight world title unification fight between Canelo Alvarez and Demetrius Andrade have been ongoing, and a deal is imminent.
Sources have informed FightNights.com that representatives from both Golden Boy Promotions and Matchroom Boxing have acknowledged that there is an "agreement" in place, and could become official by Tuesday evening if both fighters agree to the terms. The bout could take place on either October 19 or 26 in Las Vegas -- per sources.
This is the fight that Andrade has wanted. The WBO middleweight world titlist has called out Canelo since 2015, repeatedly accusing the multi-weight champion of ducking him. Now, he is one step closer to getting his wish.
"Canelo, you're a bytch! I'm putting it out there," Andrade told Tha Boxing Voice in Feb. 2015. "You scared of getting into a fight."
Andrade was upset that Alvarez, who at the time was not a champion, opted to face James Kirkland in a non-title bout. Kirkland had not fought in nearly two years and was brutally knocked out by Canelo inside three rounds.
Golden Boy and Matchroom have a history of making deals, including for Canelo's last two fights -- against Daniel Jacobs in a title unification bout on May 4 and Rocky Fielding in a secondary super middleweight title fight last December.
Both fighters hold one of the four major belts a piece. Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KO's), 28, of Mexico, initially held three of them, though. In July, Canelo was stripped by the WBC, which elevated him to a new designation as "franchise champion." Then, just weeks ago, Alvarez was stripped of the IBF title after negotiations for a mandatory defense against Sergiy Derevyanchenko ended with no deal after both sides could not agree on money. The IBF had allowed multiple postponements of a purse bid for the fight.
Now, Canelo holds the WBA "Super" belt, while Andrade owns the WBO strap. As for Derevyanchenko, a deal for "The Technician" to face former titleholder Gennady Golovkin for the vacant IBF belt on Oct. 5 is nearly finalized.
Golden Boy had also extended an offer to light heavyweight world beltholder Sergey Kovalev (33-3-1, 28 KOs) to defend his belt against Alvarez, who would have moved up two weight classes for the bout. However, Kovalev opted to face unbeaten mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde (18-0, 16 KO's) on Aug. 24 in his native Russia.
Andrade (28-0, 17 KO's) is coming off a blowout victory over Polish contender Maciej Sulecki to retain his title for the second time in July in a homecoming fight at Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Alvarez outclassed Daniel Jacobs over 12 rounds to retain his belts.

You can prefer GGG or Canelo, you can think what you want about their 2 fights but it's hard to argue against Canelo being the ballsier of the two in fighting quality opponents.
He moved up already to 160 and he legit doesn't fear of taking on Kovalev plus he fights all the awkward guys too.
Golovkin never moved up and didn't want that smoke with Ward, just one division above him.
