Canelo surprised by Reynoso cruiserweight request; Thurman-Barrios to headline PPV; Stanionis clears path for Spence-Ugas unification; Quick hits; Show and tell
Come on - I don't believe for a minute that Reynoso hadn't spoke to Canelo about fighting Makabu at cruiserweight.
Nor do I believe that Makabu was chosen as a possible opponent for no reason - he sure wasn't chosen because he's the best crusierweight.
Canelo would beat every one of Makabu's recent opponents who have been poor and clearly built their records by fighting at lower levels - even so Makabu still laboured to wins over Cieslak and especially Papin - a split decision against an 11 fight relative novice.
If Canelo wants to take on the biggest challenges in the sport as he keeps on telling the boxing media then he's going the wrong way about it.
Assuming that Golovkin is too old now then Andrade is the most awkward opponent for him at 160lbs , Beterbiev is regarded as the best 175 pounder and Briedis (or Okolie?) is regarded as the best cruiserweight.
The choice of Makabu or Mchunu is the easiest route for Canelo to become a 5-weight world champion.
If you believe that Canelo had no conversations with Reynoso in the plan to do this then you'll believe anything - you'll believe that Canelo doesn't really know what motherf*cker means.
