giving Canelo the first 4 rounds was disgusting

Mall should either unify or go up. I really don't care for him because he had a chance to get a buzz on Hotboxing and blew it. Benavidez and Andrade said they both want to take care of their business before making a fight. If the proposed "super mandatory" comes into play, the winner should either get Canelo because there's no point in holding up the division for a year while Canelo is at 175.
In the cases of 2 of them, they're fighting for mandatory/interim status with the possibility of becoming champion if Canelo relinquishes. I didn't criticize the Bivol fight but I definitely didn't wanna see a 3rd GGG fight. When it comes to Andrade, I'm always gonna be kinda
because the logic of his fanboys (who has he beat? box office draw, etc) never matches who Canelo fights

I tell you what, I don't want to see a 3rd GGG fight vs Nelo and i'm a huge GGG fan and don't care what weight it takes places at. I mean, i'll watch it and it'll be good/great because they match up well with each other, but it's a fight I just can't bring myself to care for. GGG either needs to unify with Charlo or/and Boo Boo, or vacate those belts because at THIS point, there's no one realistic we want to see him fight at 160 anymore besides those 2. Now that Nelo, as of now, plans to rematch Bivol, the eyes should be squarely on him because he was the BIGGEST loser last night with Canelo losing.
I low key think Benavidez stock is slowly rising again. He takes care of his next scrap and if the 160 champ(s) don't want to move up and face him, make that fight with Plant.
Now Charlo vs Boo Boo, we'd all love for that to be next but low key, one of them should press like a mofo for a GGG unification fight. I don't know who poses the biggest threat to GGG, i'm leaning slighty towards Charlo tbh, but one of them should stop at NOTHING to be fighting GGG next. Take a 70/30 split if you got to
Canelo? Shoot, bruh i'm iffy with him. I can't fault em for running it back with Bivol IF he does do that because the scorecards showed all he has to do is be a bit more active and they're going to give him the decision
. On the flipside, he's GOTTA know that Bivol confidence going to be sky high in the rematch. It'll feel like how Fury felt in the rematch with Wilder after having tasted that power and being able to KNOW he can now take it but also himself press Canelo even MORE in the rematch and try to really get him out of the paint. What he did to Canelo in the 12th, I bet he feels he can do that for a full 12 rounds in a rematch

I think Canelo was being emotional with the rematch talk lol. Challenger cant call for no rematch and they saying Eddie said there wasn't a rematch clause in the contract.
IMO Bivol boosted his status and should just face the Smith/Beterbiev winner. If Canelo still wants his lick back they can fight next yr lol
Couldn't you say that about the majority of Canelo's recent opponents? Billy Joe and Callum never unified and not once did I hear someone say, "they need to fight each other first to earn a shot". Hearn literally just admitted that he failed Andrade by not getting him a big fight but let's give GGG a pass for holding up the division to fight a guy that never defended the belt
Can you break down andrades recent opponents plz.. even before hearn andrade wasnt fighting anybody and dropping out of fights with charlo
so both al haymon and hearn are the both problem or is it really him? 34 years old?
Rematch set for Sept 17th says Eddie Hearn....

"They are reporting that Canelo will earn a guaranteed $15 million purse for the fight, and will claim 70% of PPV sales. Meanwhile, Bivol is guaranteed $2 million and will receive up to 30% of PPV sales."

The fights I didn't care to see after Billy Joe popped dirty then dipped out of 160 by refusing to reschedule? The fights that Andrade took because none of the champions on the same network wanted to fight him?
Andrade calls out GGG: "He's 40! He doesn't need to fight Andrade!"
Andrade calls out Munguia: "He's 25, he doesn't need to fight him yet!"
We just saw the WBO not even grant the guy automatic mandatory status to 168 but that's because of what happened to December 2014, right?

Come on bruh, nobody said that about him wanting to fight GGG or Munguia, especially Mungiua. We've all said that Munguia is ducking waiting for Boo Boo to go to 168 before he fights for that belt or stall and hope Boo Boo ages overnight.
Canelo got like $15 million and some percentage of the ppv...Bivol got 3 million and some cut of the ppv too.
