Unpopular opinion: Canelo marinating the Benavidez fight is actually his best option.

There's no one else for him to fight at 168, besides Benavidez. No big names at 160 to make a jump and challenge him. No big names at 175 that could come down to 168 and face him, and we already saw 175 is a little too much for him. Canelo doesn't really have quality fights available besides Benavidez. He's letting that fight marinate to make it as big as it can be.
