Re: Jake Paul vs Canelo Álvarez

Just when it looked like Canelo vs. Jake Paul would be a done deal, Turki Alalshikh has now announced that Canelo has signed a four fight deal with Riyadh Season. The Ring Magazine, which was recently acquired by the Saudis is saying that Jake Paul won’t be Canelo’s opponent in May. It will likely be an easy cherry picked opponent and then he will fight Terence Crawford in September.

That's why a Jake Paul fight for now seems unrealistic as others have said. But not sure though who will Canelo's next fight this May, he had almost clean the super middle weight division and there are no more left for him except fringe contender that is relatively unknown.

But if that is the case, then for sure there will be a lot of criticism on Canelo for cherry picking his next fight. But what can he do? As I have said, he almost fought everyone that is known in this division and some if they wanted a tune up fight, then maybe he will go on the top 5-10 fighters that is uknown.
