    Benavidez is a tough guy. He hits hard and is much better than all the others.
    opposition against which I fight
    He looked relentless... he already has experience and I feel
    That this version of Plant is the best of his entire career... Canelo hits hard, he has a more solid jaw than Benavidez's..

    Canelo needs more rests than usual and if DB can get into gear earlier he can make it quite torrid for Canelo. The thing is DB doesn't have great defence and Canelo still has fast hands and hits hard and may be able to keep DB from rushing in. DB also falls over his front foot, squares up and is sometimes overzealous with his punches in bunches that he ruins his own balance. Canelo can't move as well as Plant so maybe DB can make it the fight he needs to edge Canelo

    Canelo is too good defensively, and would absolutely destroy DB’s body. That gas tank gonna be zapped by the time we get to the championship rounds. He’s not ready for Canelo, but that’s the fight to be made for sure.

    Tbh, Benavidez style is tailor made for Canelo. Canelo had to develop this chase down coke forward style after PBF and Lara but his bread n butter is in the pocket James Toney style slips and counter. Canelo wins this.

    "Canelo had to develop this chase down coke forward style"

    Isn't that how Benavidez lost one of his titles?

    Need to see how Canelo looks after the layoff against Ryder. Benavidez outworks the one in GGG 3 for a close decision.

    I don't know what's going on with Canelo. He's out there fighting these bus boys in the UK all the time now.
    I think the fame got to his head, I think benevidez KOs him late

    Canelo is built like a tank, his pitbull neck allows him to absorb big punches so well, and he's technically still so good that I feel he'd win the inside game big, Against the taller and Lankier Benevidez. Canelo UD.

    The longer Canelo waits, the worse it gets for him. He’s 32 and nearing the end of his best days while David is 26 and entering his.

    Got to see what Canelo looks like this May. He looked average against old man GGG. So got to see what he looks like Coming of a surgery and getting older

    Not sure how prime Alvarez is at the moment, but at his best at 168 he kills Benavidez.
