Well, a prime Canelo is a lot bigger than a prime Floyd for starters. I mean, 147 was never even Floyd's natural weight and it was never Canelo's natural weight either. A prime Canelo is easily 30 lbs. heavier than a prime Floyd.

Yeah... Floyd ain’t beating any decent 168ln fighter... size difference is way too much

He beats Canelo at 154 all day

Gotta give Canelo his props... I can’t stand him and think he’s overrated, but he’s beating real guys even if none of em are great. Only challenges left out there for him are the top guys at 175... Benevides would be fun though

I agree.

Anyway, did y'all see Boo Boo Andrade calling out Canelo and then being taken away by security after arguing back and forth? Pretty funny

Probably... might not be soon though. Andrade just has to keep running his mouth. It’s an easy fight to make and don’t see why they both wouldn’t want it. Plant is first though (unfortunately) because it’s even easier and more obvious because he’s a strap holder...

He ain’t fighting Beterbiev or anyone like that so I think Andrade happens, unless they try to feed him an old GGG which would waste even more time.

3 entire divisions of fighters want the Canelo payday, so the cherry picking and weight class maneuvering is almost inexhaustible...

Canelo seems willing to fight anyone. Problem is he seems to leave the matchmaking/negotiating up to his handlers until he thinks he looks bad then he says fuck you make the deal. Andrade keeps running his mouth canelo will fight him
"He's a fighter, I'm a fighter, if I'm better on that day, I win. That's just the way it goes. Someday, every fighter loses. Sooner or later, somebody comes along and they got your ticket. Too old, just wasn't your day, whatever the reason is. In the end, everybody gets beaten. The most you can hope for is that you stay on top a while. Be the best."

Andrade would have a much better case if he fought Jacobs or Benevidez or Uzi or Ryder or even Dirrell, somebody at 168 would be good. Charlo would be a good fight, they could do it at 168 since both are looking for that same 168 payday.

And that's what Canelo was telling him. "You dont fight nobody man, you're a champion but you dont fight nobody"

Plant beat Uzcategui, Uzcategui beat Dirrel, Benavidez beat the other Dirrel and will fight Uzcategui later this year.
I don't remember Andrade fighting anyone of notice. Hell, I saw fight live in Corpus Christi, TX on a Mickey Garcia undercard back in 2013, and that's probably the last time I ever saw him fight.

It's obviously going to be Plant next, barring some cold feet or ridiculous demands from Plant. To be honest, while the perception may be that Andrade's better than Plant, he hasn't done a whole lot to prove it, he's usually in stinkers, and he's not a draw. I can understand why it's been difficult for him to get a big fight. Granted, Canelo did fight guys like Yildirim and Fielding, who are obviously far inferior to Andrade, but those were showcase fights where the opponents came cheap.

Given that Andrade is the WBO 160 champ, he should get named WBO mandatory if he moves up, so that may be the route for him to force a shot.

The guys I most want to see Canelo in with:

Charlo
Beterbiev
Smith
Bivol
Benavidez

Beterbiev best shot at him. I just dont see that fight happening anytime soon.

I think we see Canelo continue on the DAZN fighter destruction after Caleb Plant and he faces Bivol. Dull 175 champ with a title he can take.

Anyone suggesting Benavidez needs to take a drug test, that dude gets smoked by Cinnamon

He beats Benevides but at least it would be fun... He beats Charlo but likely gets hurt at some point making it interesting...

He probably beats Andrade on the “cards” in a Lara esque kinda fight...

Only guy id pick to beat him flat out is Bertebiev... Bivol would fight stupid and lose due to lack of urgency
