And there is only one reason they are avoided.

Hmmm...I wonder why the two middle weights Andrade and Charlo are avoided.

but would al haymon let plant fight canelo and let go of the IBF belt outside of PBC? Matchroom is becoming a major competition to PBC and PBC lets us know, by doing a pr stunt, jake paul and mayweather hat incident right before canelo fight, meaning PBC is betting big on jake paul mayweather at the moment but PBC do want some of that 73k staduim full canelo money but PBC losing that IBF belt early means they will miss out getting involved in a decade of canelo title defense era. PBC will want david bennovitez to fight canelo as well.

Oh, this is my dream fight, Andre Ward vs Canelo. Ward would win this one. But it would be good. This would be a fight worth gazillions. And could be the one to lure Ward to come out of retirement for. Oh what a thought. I wonder if Ward is thinking about this. Whoooosh.......

It would be very significant - but it would probably a very tactical "boring for the casuals" sort of fight.

No, it would not, Ward would seek the KO.

Canelo wants Plant in Sept. GGG is not a 168 fighter. And he is 39. His Prime was at 32. And at 34,35, he still beat Canelo. But he us now to old and slow to fight Canelo even at 160. And Canelo cannot move down to 160 anymore. He is perfect at 168. And oh so strong.

GGG will come up to make the fight and DAZN will still pay a ton. It's probably good leverage for Canelo either way.

It would not go 5 rnds. GGG will not go there. Neither will his trainer endorse it.

Canelo is the $$$ man - if GGG wants the payday he'll do whatever. But Murata is his target for now.

My friend may I ask you what is your nationality? Also, are you a fan of Canelo or of other Mexican boxers?
