    Man stop making a video in la at the spot you were supposed to meet at would suffice. That's all you would need to do to prove your point period. If you did thst then I wouldn't say anything

    I don’t make videos because I don’t play a tough guy. If he actually showed up I would’ve filmed sparring footage as nothing illegal about that.

    Ward wouldn’t stop him who did Ward ever stop in a fight that was above board?

    I've seen Canelo lose five different ways. Benavidez wouldn't be the first or even the most decisive, but it would be the most devastating.

    I don't do fantasy wins. You could say youve seen Canelo lose 2 ways and fight several other close fights, that's reality. All against a caliber if opponent Benavidez has yet to experience. Like i stated, we've seen Canelo have guys scared to punch for fear of what's coming back, too many guys that "didn't look like themselves" against him even some of higher quality than Benavidez himself. Meanwhile, David's best opponent would be Canelo's maybe 6th or 7th best if we're being nice. David is good at what he does, but never lose sight of the levels of boxing.

    Which guys "didn't look like themselves" against Canelo? That's a myth. Canelo has never handicapped anyone. Floyd did what he wanted. Bivol, too. GGG was GGG, Lara was Lara, Trout was Trout. Jacobs was about as good as he can possibly be, as was Plant. At the world level, Canelo has NEVER been truly dominant. His record is heavily inflated by the 40 jobbers he started his career with.

    But forget all of that. David Benavidez is a horrible stylistic matchup for Canelo and ginger knows it. That's exactly why the fight hasn't happened yet.

    I think DB stops him. Pretty confident about it, honestly.

    Log off. I'm now doubting if you were following boxing back then.

    Good catch, but you missed the nine 'accidental' head-butts.

    Floyd did what he wanted against pretty much everyone he shared the ring with. GGG looked like himself? When he wouldn't do body work, never even had Canelo in trouble in 36 rounds and worst of all spent a fight on the backfoot more than the rest of his career combined. Jacobs certainly didn't look like the same guy that arguably beat Golovkin either. Kovalev looked so different some people speculated he took a dive or was abducted by aliens or some ****. Plant and Charlo supposedly didn't come to win. Canelo has never been dominated yet has several knockouts over higher level competition than Benavidez has ever been in the ring with. Who were David's 2 biggest wins? Plant whom he went 12 rounds with AFTER Canelo knocked him out? Who probably ranks in the lower half of Canelos top 10 opponents? Or Andrade? The guy who never had a single big fight himself since the Olympics, came up from a lower weight class to face a guy already big enough to fail the scales at 168? Andrade who's last relevant opponent was like a decade ago agaisnt a guy we clowned GGG for figthing? David's still really unproven despite the hype around him. It's why he sells 60k and cant attract the big fight until the end of the line. Hopefully we get the fight soon so the questions can be answered.

    So we spent the majority of the thread getting mad at Ward, a retired fighter, who spoke the truth about an active current fighter.

    This is part of the reason boxing is ass right now.

    :facepalm:

    So is Canelo:)

    The Canelo fan boys are becoming more and more unhinged. Its literally like a cult. Would be hilarious if Mungia beats him.

    As funny as that would be, I want Canelo to win. I want the Mexican fans to pressure him to fight Benavidez so he gets shamed into it like the Lara/Golovkin fights. No escape.
