    If you honestly think Callum Johnson beats Benavidez you are seriously underestimating his abilities.

    This is coming from a guy who thinks he's stronger than Beterbeiv and KOs him. When Johnson counters David's jab, I have every confidence that Benavidez sleeps.

    I never mentioned strength. Skills win fights, not strength. Johnson gets annihilated by Benavidez.

    benavidez’s jab is massively inconsistent he wasn’t using it anywhere near enough against dirrell and he looked sloppy as hell.

    yes he has the faster hands but not the harder jab also benavidez’s body punching isn’t as good as beterbiev’s, also Being the longer man didn’t help gvodzyk who has better foot work and is clean more techincal boxer than benavidez also benavidez Dosent exactly box tall anyways he likes to fire off combos mid close range

    beterbiev wouldn’t struggle to get into range with benavidez seeing as benavidez backs up in straight lines and has poor defence, only man who’s been able to back up beterbiev is Callum johnson who’s a bigger puncher than benavidez and we saw how it went for him.

    I guess we just have to agree to disagree I just can’t see benavidez being able to take on beterbiev and come out with his hand raised I think he would sustain way to much damage and beterbiev would stop him within 5-7 rounds.

    basically beterbiev would eat him alive.

    I've never heard Clenelo call his name and with good reason too because Benavidez would beat the soul out of his body. Benavidez is one of the most destructive offensive forces in the sport. Power, speed, accuracy, punch variety, punch selection, great balance, huge for the weight, and he has massive advantages in reach and height on Clenelo too. 6′ 1½″ and 77″ of Mexican macho man vs 5′ 8″ and 70½″ of ginger Clenbuterol toad

    As for Benavidez beating Beterbiev? Not yet son.

    All Canelo has to do is be standing vertical at the final bell and he will ‘win’ the fight. Doesn’t matter what happens during the fight.

    Benavidez has the size youth and volume to get canelo . to actually apply it and not turn in into a jab fest is another story . they all try to box canelo in the end instead of trying to ko him

    And Kovalev's two wins that year were better than David's career.

    Canelo has a chance but this is the fight I and I am sure many others have been pounding the table for quite a while. I think Benavidez does a number on Alvarez but because Alvarez never fights anyone until he sees vulnerability this fight won't happen. DB kicks his ass.

    Spot On.


    Also, have you ever heard Eddie Hearn speak about Smith or Saunders Vs Benavidez?

    Because I haven't, Hearn completely ignores him, doesn't want anything to do with him and there is a reason for that.

    Hopefully he stays off the coke. I think he can make some noise at 175.

    I think DB stops GGG and Clenelo at 168.

    Beterbiev would steal Benavidez soul, Canelo I don’t think would fight him.
