    Canelo does not mention his name. Plant been ducking him for 2 years. Charlo called out Benavidez 2 years ago and has now backtracked and seems scared to fight him.
    Is Benavidez a boogeyman?

    Canelo must have been the happiest man on earth when DB lost his belt on the scale.

    Canelo has a good shot to win, but he wouldn't be scheduling 3 more fights for the 12 months after.

    Because he's a nobody name-wise but presents a HIGH risk of getting knocked out.

    Benavidez improved a lot since the Gavril fights. He's young, motivated, big, strong, powerful and has a good work rate. But the most impressive thing with him is his precision/accuracy. He's incredibly accurate with his shots. He landed more than 50% of his power punches against both Ellis and Angulo and both fights went 10/11 rounds. And even against a slick guy like Dirrell who loves to run he landed like 35%. This is pretty sick. This guy is breaking you down. He's not a one punch KO artist and he's hittable and his footwork is a bit flat sometimes but man...he has some equalizers.

    Benavidez? Avoided? If my memory serves correct it was his camp that was stalling the unification fight with Plant when they were saying he had all the leverage. Now he has no leverage and no belt there seems to be a sense of urgency to want tough fights. He was supposed to have the WBC belt but 2 times he showed a lack of discipline outside the ring.

    Plz dont compare that cheating Margarito aka Luis resto with Benavidez, Margarito was slow with 0 defense and needed cement to beat on smaller fighters

    Because he's evil personified in between those ropes and beating the soul out of your body is just the warm up for him. Clenelo scurred.

    Bivol, beterbiev, joe smith(most likely)

    Gotta beat 1 of those 3 to hold a belt.

    Those arent easy wins. He doesnt wanna make that jump yet and they r all high risk but not massive reward fights. It looks like its gonna b canelo with all 168 belts tho and hes the high risk but massive reward fight

    Canelo vs benavidez once canelo is undisputed will most likely b the fight to make and at that point the division is cleaned out and they r the 2 guys to hold the official crown of public opinion
