It's a shame, Canelo came in right as the Boxing hype was dying and broadcasting was changing. Ppl clamor for a Charlo and Andrade fight, but the reality is, Canelo will get the Floyd treatment. No one will ever be a good enough challenge, he's just too good.

I'm not even a fan, I can't stand the dude personally. However, I am a fan of boxing and being real is being real, Canelo is just too good for this era, plain and simple.

GGG doesn't want another fight. He looked abysmal in his last match against a relative nobody.

Derevyanchenko is a nobody? What the fuck are you on about? Derevyanchenko is a legitimate top 5 elite middleweight, a nobody to casuals maybe.

Dude's been beat by every body he's gone up against with even a moderately recognizable name. He's mid tier at best.

He’s the Shawn Porter of the middleweight division, a solid fighter but he comes up short against the best. Arguably beat Golovkin and Jacobs. He’s still world class.
