Canelo Alvarez has left the Premier Boxing Champions by mutual agreement after one fight of what was supposed to be a three-fight deal.

There is a lot of speculation about who he will fight on May 4. Have you say and tell us who you want to see him face next.

That’s what I think the issue is, but I don’t understand why. It’s odd but he doesn’t want to give Benavidez the payday.

There is a slight amount of sideshow appeal but it wouldn't be the first David taking on Goliath story. It's far better than a actual sideshow in Berlanga or Canelo going back on everything he's always said about not fighting fellow countrymen in Munguia.

Munguia will lose his \"0\" and Canelo will lose the respect of many. Hopefully Munguia lands a lucky punch and it forces Canelo to come back and try Crawford.

I doubt we will ever see Benavidez in the ring with Canelo. Canelo has far too many non-boxing interests and still has his health.

A fighter like Morrell or Benavidez could seriously impact that health. I don't think he wants (or needs) that kind of smoke after as many fights as he's been in, coming out of those battles relatively unscathed for the wear.
