...according to Robert Garcia
I do think it's interesting that both Canelo and Bud have been relatively quiet about their next move. I do think they are both talking to Turki behind the scenes
If the fight does happen, hopefully Bud does not come in at 168. He doesn't need to. Come in at 162/163. So he can maintain his quickness at least
Canelo himself comes in at 166 his past 2 fights at Super middle weight anyway

WBO won't recognize Errol Spence Jnr as title challenger in Sebastian Fundora bout
"The bout will be allowed to proceed as a non-title fight in the WBO’s eyes, and Fundora will retain the belt by winning.
But if Southern California’s Fundora loses to Spence, the belt will be taken from him and presented to four-division and current World Boxing Association junior middleweight titlist Terence Crawford – who stands now as the WBO’s interim 154-pound belt holder.
Fundora, 21-1-1 (13 KOs), also wears the World Boxing Council belt by virtue of his bloody, narrow victory over Tim Tszyu on March 30 in Las Vegas. The WBC belt is expected to be in play.
The WBO, however, has decided Texas’ Spence, 28-1 (22 KOs), does not meet standards required to fight for its belt for these primary reasons:
– Spence, 34, hasn’t fought since his July 2023 ninth-round technical-knockout loss to Crawford, in which Spence was knocked down three times before the stoppage arrived.
– He is coming off the bad knockout loss and has never fought at junior middleweight.
– He is not ranked among the WBO’s top 15 junior middleweights despite petitioning for that position at the recent WBO Convention in Puerto Rico.
“If [the WBO] allows Spence to fight for the belt, it starts a bad precedent for others,” the official said on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the ruling on a fight that is still in negotiations. "
