    Canelo v Benn would be amazing I would love to see it. Eubank stands no chance against him, his output is too low to trouble Canelo.

    Benn doesn't punch hard enough to trouble Canelo. He'd also be well within Canelos power punching range.
    There's far better fights for Canelo. Benn would be a waste of time.

    I see Canelo as a big favorite with both (and I really don't see Benn in the super middleweights, but you know that with money anything is possible.....). From what we know now the Mexican will face the Cuban Scull in May and then rumors have long been talking about a match with Crawford in September, although it has not yet been finalized.

    Shalom has just said in the last hour to. boxing expert? Spencer Oliver that there’s a 2 fight arrangement with the pair. He’s confident, Eubank will get the Alvarez payday after beating Benn.

    Basically, if Eubank wins then they’ll set the Canelo fight up at 168.

    There’s no way they send Benn in with Canelo. Makes zero sense, simply won’t happen.

    Canelo must be very worried about fighting either lady

    Absolutely, difference being that with Canelo it's simply too much money to down.

    Eubank JNR didn’t run against Groves at all, he was aggressive that night but seemed to lack any real technique at times.
    As for him getting stopped by Liam Smith. Do you not think the elbow smashing into his face and him clearly being weight drained had anything to do with that ?

    He ran. Must have watched a different fight.

    Liam Smith banged him out fair and square, it was a cherry pick gone wrong. Weight drained is his own fault. Still yet to see this elbow and I’ve watched it many times. The fact people choose to forget the right hand that rocks Eubank to his boots before any elbow could possibly go near him shows the weird love everyone has always had for this hyped fraud.

    From what I remember he didn't run away but was completely nullified on his way in and had no idea what to do. He kept coming and coming though
