Why won't Canelo pass the torch to David Benavidez

Did you type that with a straight face?

 

David was a super middleweight not a cruiser weight.

 

Probably because he cherry picked Ryder, Charlo, Mungia, Berlanga, Crawford.

 

He was a weight bully enjoying his size advantage and beating up smaller fighters.

 

Like Canelo did for most of his career?

 

How he's a weight bully? He was always shorter than all his opponents. And his reach is not that long. He asserted rehydration clause against opponents who were bigger than him, so they they wouldn't use their size advantage against him at fight night. So that the fights would be fair.

 

They were either undisputed champions or mandatory challengers.

 

Ryder was the only mandatory, (not even ordered) and those excuses don't stop them being cherry picks. What do you think a cherry pick is? Give me your definition?

 

Read that over a few times and see if you can spot the error.

 

Crawford is the best boxer in the world, and you're saying he's a cherry pick for Canelo?

 

I don't see any error. Canelo so far mostly fought opponents larger than him. Larger: taller and with longer reach.
Therefore he's a brave warrior. Unlike Benavidez, who beat up smaller opponents so far.

 

Berlanga was rhe WBA mandatory and Munguia was the WBO mandatory for Canelo.

 

It's weird because you would think that Boots was being advised by Al Haymon the way his career is being protected. He's promoted to be the "future" of the sport. The most dangerous up and comer..........yet, they are carefully choosing who and when they fight certain opponents. He claimed Stanionis was avoiding him years ago and Stanionis camp came to the public and exploded the lie. Exposed that they never got a single call, email, text, telegram, smoke signal, etc.... from Ennis's camp in regards to an offer. Eventually the fight was made after Vergil moved to 154 and Stanionis couldn't get that fight.

Boots biggest accomplishment came from him never even throwing a punch... He gained his first world title at the hands of Crawford beating Errol Spence Jr. Being that he was Errol's mandatory, but refused to exercise his status, until Crawford/Spence was solidified for undisputed, AND Keith Thurman had already petitioned to fight the winner.......now all of a sudden he felt an 'urgency' to try to get in line. Work out a deal with the IBF for him to get a title shot vs the winner...... Cool. But there's this one thing, the contract for the Spence/Crawford fight had a rematch clause. Which is a legal binding contract. Being that Crawford wouldn't breach that contract by starting negotiations with Boots, the IBF stripped Crawford of the IBF title, taking away his greatest accomplishment at the time.... His second Undisputed status in a 2nd division. And they did this just 26 days after he won the title. Hell, Spence had 30 days to activate his rematch clause.... They couldn't wait 4/5 days?.....

I try to be a fan of Boots, which I'm sure he's a great guy, I've only met his pops and older brother in person. But Boots' fans make it very hard for me to respect his path in this sport.

 

Ya, thats why Boots passed on ybose fights.

Undisputed 147 was the goal and Boots abandoned that. Bud offered Boots a fight and Boots ducked that. Ortiz Jr offered Bud a fight and Bud ducked that.

Boots is the new Spence - hype job (of one particular fan base)

 

and I could argue he lost several fights against the people you named (GGG, Lara) and also argue several of them were past their best (GGG, Kovalev, even Jacobs)
