How would this fight be? Canelo has a great jaw. Yesterday he looked very good with Jaime Munguia. I know Benavidez hits harder and is much heavier. But it will be a great fight. How would it play out for you?
Benavidez UD via greater output. Same replay of Bivol fight except Benavidez doesn't look as polished.
Canelo is to tight, explosive and experienced for Benavidez. Benavidez has leaky defense, and will get countered to death.
There comes a point in time where experience becomes just old age. Benavidez would turn Canelo old right there in the ring, in front of millions of people. TKO 10.
Benavidez in an easy fight where he wins 10 of the 12 rounds but scorecards are all 115-113 for Benavidez Canelo is a disgrace and a total fraud.
I wasn't impressed by Canelo against Munguia; he looked slow, his punches lacked snap and his output was even worse than usual. Previously I would have backed Canelo to counter Benavidez's head off but now I'm not too sure; if the fight happens Benavidez may be catching him on the decline.
I think David is a better fighter but this matchup will favor Canelo. If this turns into a slugfest, David will wear down first and Canelo will punish him with bodyshots into his long torso. David likes to utilize very high output and if he attempts those long combos on Canelo it won't end well for him.
Canelo knocks him out easily. Benavidez so far beat nobody of importance. His best win was against Plant by a close decision, who Canelo KTFO. Benavidez is just hyped by Canelo haters, they are using him to claim Canelo is a coward. Canelo belongs to the elite league, where Benavidez doesn't. He outboxes him in first 9 rounds then KTFOs him like he did to Kovalev.
Canelo's post fight interview clearly shows he doesn't want to fight him, but the whole '200 million' thing is basically him saying that if gets paid 100m+ he will fight him, because he knows he loses and it's the end of his career after, so he wants to cash out for 9 figures.
I’m still going with Canelo. David ain’t no boxer and size alone won’t be enough to win him the fight. “Oh well he throws lots of punches.” Maybe, but when has he fought a guy with a good defense who is great at countering? Looking to forward to seeing how Benavidez deals The Nail.
