So it really is, “I will not fight Benavidez”.
That’s more damning than tainted tacos ever was.
so weird. He moves up to lose to a publicly unknown LHW but won't risk losing to someone he's expected to fight.So it really is, “I will not fight Benavidez”.

Of course it is.I thought I had heard that they'd promised that for Benavidez, but couldn't keep their agreed upon pay for the other fight on his contract?
edit- just read it more closely, that seems to indeed be the case.
Of course it is.
That's why no one's posted in any of these threads in 24hrs. Can't blame Canelo for PBCs fuck up.
Way to go Al.
PBC is fuckin trash and everyone knows it.
LOL Canelo wants a king's ransom for powder puff fights that aren't going to draw.
DAZN is having the same issues negotiating with him that Haymon did.
This has become a comedy. It’s no wonder, he’ll Im a forever Maidana fan but to me Berlanga then Munguia feels like Floyd conning us into not one BUT TWO Maidana fights. If they give Canelo what he wants that’s what this will literally be. A year of predetermined outcomes.
Berlangas head should be Munguias, and Canelo should fight Benavidez.
Fans were hopeful because Canelo crossed the street and signed with PBC (who also promote Benavidez). A 3 fight $100 million dollar deal. Benavidez was expected by industry insiders and the general public to be one of his opponents.I don't know why everyone is shocked that Canelo ducked Benavidez, it's almost like everyone forget that the boxing world forced him to fight GGG practically at gunpoint lol.
I don't think Canelo fears losing, he fears getting embarassed, exposed and potentially knocked out. He can live with a loss but he can't live with humiliation. That's why he chose to fight Kovalev who had 1 belt while Artur had 2. It's why he chose to fight Bivol who had 1 belt while Artur had 2. It's why he avoided GGG during his prime.
