Rumors say Canelo finally wants to step up: bring the Murder Box to NZ!
word is canelo finally smelled a scent of real cheddar, now eyeing nz like a butcher’s shop 🏡🥩… next thing u know they’re slinging steaks while izzy’s still minding the bbq 🔥
Show me your ROI first 😏
Ifa’s got better things to grill than listen to tinfoil hatters—like another steak, medium rare, while Canelo’s still trying to work out if the oven’s even on.
Where's the proof?
if canelo EVER steps in that NZ octagon??? hahaha nah mate but when IFAs next level magic starts cooking — 🍳🔥 the whole damn middleweight division is gonna GET BURNED
Heart with the team, head on pause.
Put him in the middleweight octagon? Canelo wouldn't recognise the division now unless it's running from him. Age alone makes NZ a hard sell — 33 in December, middleweight’s physical ceiling. Ifa’s 34, yeah, but the real math is in the wear-and-tear; they’re not rookies anymore. And Canelo’s got bigger fish to fry — new undisputed champion belt, undisputed mega-fight purse. Why chase NZ when the bank balance screams Floyd-level paydays? The whole Murder Box angle feels like speculation on stilts. NZ’s got charm, sure, but the division’s moving on without him.
I keep my own tables 📊
Izzy’s been grinding like a demon too—last camp in the desert with zero distractions, not even a TikTok dance break. Rumor mill’s running wild, but NZ turning into an all-you-can-eat buffet for Izzy’s kitchen? That’s the hot gossip we all want to season just right 🍳💥
It's a lottery, not sport.
Fresh bread just came out of the oven and you’re telling me Canelo’s not drooling over a slice? Mate, I’ve got NZ airfare saved since 2022—hand on heart, I booked it the day Izzy lifted that middleweight strap so I could watch the Murder Box roll into town like a steam train.
Numbers are honest, takes aren't.
you ever seen someone cook up a storm in the kitchen while everyone else is still arguing over whose turn it is to wash the dishes?? 😂🔥 izzy’s got the stove on full blast, steaks sizzlin, knives sharper than ever—meanwhile canelo’s still faffin round with his fancy gloves on, askin “is this my oven or yours?” come onnnnn 💪 CAN’T even entertain the idea that izzy ain’t ready cos it’s written in the stars 🌠 we just don’t know the exact day the recipe drops yet
@Dave_Fan nah mate but d’you ever remember Canelo’s last FULL middleweight fight? 2019 vs PV before the trilogy started 🤬 six years ago! izzy’s been in the kitchen longer than that, trust me, this oven ain’t new 🔥🍳 our lad’s just waitin for the right chef to turn it up—ain’t no one turns it up like a kiwi when they’re hungry
NZ as the next destination? Mate, that oven’s still cold. Canelo’s been cooking at superwelter for years now—his middleweight chops were for the trilogy, and that was six fights ago. You’re telling me he’s gonna come down fresh at 33 just because the Murder Box has “NZ” written on the menu? 😂 Ifa’s been sharpening his blades in the desert, yeah, but Canelo’s been tuning his with the biggest kitchen in boxing: purse after purse after purse. The real heat isn’t on the scales, it’s on the balance sheet.
I keep my own tables 📊
canelo’s still got that fire in the belly though, just ask ganache dude bennie urquidez back in the day—guy stepped up from welter to light middle without batting an eyelid, knocked out three different opponents in the weights, and that was in the 70s when gloves were basically oven mitts. i’m not sayin canelo steps in tomorrow and turns into some skinny middleweight prodigy, but history ain’t so keen on this “division ceiling” chatter when the hunger’s real. izzy’s cooking up a storm sure, but why does the oven need to go cold before the chef switches up the heat? murder box don’t care what decade it’s cooked in, as long as the flame’s real.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
remember the dust-up when the Murder Box was supposed to land in madrid back in 2020? canelo had just put three southpaws in front of the fire, one after another, and the word was that izzy would hop over to europe to fa…
@Ultra88 nah but like… how many middleweights has Canelo actually fought though? 😅 just off the top of my head I can’t even think of three proper middleweight names he’s had in the ring, never mind knocked out. Izzy’s last five have been light heavy and above—middleweight world’s a whole different beast when you’re used to scraping the ceiling in the light heavy class. Maybe I’m wrong but feels like Canelo’s never even had to prove he’s proper middleweight class, just stayed in the big purses where he’s already a king 🤔
Mind you, when Izzy had that sparring session with the old-school middleweight journeyman last month, the lad didn’t just survive—he cooked the fella’s lunch for three rounds straight, legs never wobbled, hands stayed tight as a drum. That oven of his is pre-heated 24/7 these days, no need for Canelo to wave a menu under his nose. 🍳🔥
remember the dust-up when the Murder Box was supposed to land in madrid back in 2020? canelo had just put three southpaws in front of the fire, one after another, and the word was that izzy would hop over to europe to face him, finish straight in the little jewels. we all watched the clock like it was a pressure cooker—day after day the rumours fizzled out, then one morning poof, the whole thing vanished. same old song, different verse: izzy kept his apron on, turned the knob up a notch, and came back stronger than ever. time will tell, always does, but my gut still tells me this kiwi stew won’t simmer itself either way
Seen it all, lads.
Bloody hell, I'd load up on a twelve-round Murder Box at 7-2 just to see Canelo sweat his arse off trying to hit a moving target in the middle. Did you lads clock how many fights he's actually done at 160 since PV? Six years ago! And half those were so he could sell pay-per-view to folks who think "middleweight legend" sounds catchier than "super welter has-been." 💸 The oven ain't cold, mate—Canelo's been stood right next to it collecting cheques while Izzy's in there flipping steaks with both hands. If the lad steps down, every dollar I've got's going on the undercard when the body shots start landing.
