    Why do you derail every thread to talk about Floyd and Margarito? Just **** off.

    I think Beterbiev violates Benavidez for another three, four years at least. Benavidez is a very big and strong SMW but Beterbiev is just different.

    This is also the biggest money fights outside the heavyweight division. There is no bigger money fight below 200, none.

    Both guys don't have any fights lined up. Cinco De Mayo is the perfect holiday.

    If this fight doesn't happen next, it may never happen. Knowing Canelo, he'll probably fight Munguia next.

    I like Benavidez, but when he faces fighter his own size and who is prob p4p best puncher right now i doubt he could walk him down. I think it might look like Chavez Jr vs Fonfara. Unless BTR is shot and cant pull a trigger.

    3-4 years is a long time. Beterbiev would be close to his mid 40s by then I believe.

    Beterbiev's power will be the last thing to go as they say, but at 40 years old he can't maintain his speed, durability, and high workrate. No matter how hard he trains and what PEDs he tries to use to keep up, he simply can keep the same energy and athleticism as his 20's or even his early 30's. It's impossible. A 40+ year old Beterbiev would be dangerous due to his power and toughness but not much else. He could end up being a sitting duck for younger, faster elite fighters. If he somehow manages to continue to dominate that would simply indicate a terribly weak era.

    Canelo better fights Benavidez now if he is ever going to fight him because youth is on Benavidez side.

    Benavidez was not able to stop Caleb Plant for example though. Someone slick that can throw long flurries can trouble him. That paired with Canelo’s granite chin I don’t know. Also Canelo is proven over and over again on the biggest stage.

    I like Benavidez much more then Canelo. But I think 60/40 favoring Canelo.

    Sorry you idolize losers like Floyd & Canelo It must be hard when the vast majority of boxing fans have no respect for them at all. There is nothing you can say in their defense. Everyone knows they're cheaters

    Canelo doesn't need to fight Beterbiev. As much as people keep going about it, he is not a LHW, never was. Beterbiev isn't a LHW either, he can easily make Cruiser.

    Would be actually rooting for Canelo. I like his 168, despite all the corruption beforehand.

    We don’t discuss cheats in polite society.
