I feel Benavidez is a good offensive fighter but the catch and counter style can be beat by feints, can a pressure fighter be successful without head movement? How far will Benavidez get with this style? This content is protected
Benavidez will go down as one of the 3 greatest SMW's of all-time along with Andre Ward and Joe Calzaghe. He will do fine. I would rather get repeatedly punched in the head by Benavidez than listen to that awful voice from that video again.
Maybe he has the potential, but if he was disqualified one time(i felt it was to pressure him) , maybe he hasn't power people behind him. Without that to become one of the greatest is impossible, no matter how talented is he. Btw I remember Benavidez like one of Bivol's(very underrated champion here) favorite sparring partners.
I’m not questioning whether he’s sparred bivol or not, I’m saying that if you still see him as a sparring partner, your understanding of the current boxing hierarchy is way lacking.
