    Canelo,is not a 175 pound fighter. Do the math.

    So if you understand that concept so clearly why can't you grasp why Canelo does what he does? It's not about taking the "easier" fight when you've fought everyone he's fought and done everything he's done. The only guys that feel like he's still gotta prove something are the same ones that can't get over him beating their guy. For the record I've said in nearly every post on the subject and even in this thread( you quoted it) I would like to see the fight as well. I just don't feel it's some birthright owed to Benavidez. Everyone from like 6 weightclasses would love to fight Canelo. And the truth is like it or not Charlo was waiting in line for the fight way longer than Benavidez. Years ago it was Canelo was running from Charlo because he was a black American fighter. I also understand Benavides has done the work to become mandatory but again if you understand the cash cow concept you so eloquently explained in your previous post, then you also understand mandatory means the same thing as "we'll see" in box-speak to a cash cow. It's always been that way and you're just chasing your tail expecting it to work differently for Alvarez. I think Canelo fights David probably after whomever is next, I doubt he fears him but he's pretty particular in who he does business with see the Charlos being iced out for like a decade until they carried themselves more professionally. Benavidez would do himself a big favor by fighting Morrell rather than sitting on his hands. Any guy that has crowed for Canelo in the past witbout taking risks themselves either wait a long time or never get the fight. It's proven. Lastly and most importantly the longer it takes for him to make this fight the better Benavides chances are so perhaps it's in his best interest to be patient.

    So its just a coincidence his choices are historically the easiest fights? Shot Kovalev, 40 year old GGG, Ryder, inactive 154 pounder, and now looking for another easy fight? Just a co incidence nothing to see here folks!

    You really think you just book a ticket and don't need to do anything after that to earn the fight? You are correct Charlo has been sitting around waiting for the fight while Benavidez has been fighting to earn it. Its laughable to suggest he is even in the line at all. His chance expired when Canelo left 160.

    Just because he fought GGG back in 2017 does not mean he can't duck the smoke later in his career, that makes no logical sense. Canelo is clearly desperately ducking, and his choices prove that. There should not even be a conversation about anyone other than Benavidez. He was supposed to have earned the fight after he beat Plant, and look where we are now, Charlos, Mungia, Crawford suddenly ahead of the line when they don't even fight at 168 other than Mungia.

    He did take risks, he fought Plant and Andrade, your talking point is out of date. What risks did Charlo take? Ryder, 40 year old GGG? Why is Charlo even in the conversation if taking risks is so important to get the fight? The charlo brothers literally did the opposite of take risks, they sat around waiting for the pay day. Canelo disagrees with your argument.

    As long as any fighter holds the belts, they always have something to prove. If they don’t want that responsibility they can always drop them.

    One Charlo became an undisputed champion, the other I never really thought much of tbh. Benavides fought a guy Canelo just knocked out lol. Andrade was a guy everyone was square dancing with but never got fights made, at 154. No notable fight at 160 then he's suddenly proof for Benavidez at 168? How does that work? Again Benavidez deserves the fight in my eyes but whether or not, when and where he gets it is a different story. He hasn't proven himself anymore than the other 20 guys yelling Canelos name lol. Canelo can basically choose who he wants like the hot chick at the bar and nobody can do a thing about it. Every cash cow has had the same privilege and the next after him will as well. What's amusing is how so many names are thrown around before he picks and how much moaning and hand wringing goes on without even knowing what's true.

    I can't argue with that line of thinking, but it's antiquated in modern boxing. Everything we were raised up on doesn't matter anymore. This era is about money legacy and health apparently lol. I think the whole "x has gotta fight this guy", until he beats him then "now he's gotta fight this guy " trope is tired as hell. The greats fought bums amongst their bouts with other great fighters too.

    This is why I don't have a favorite fighter. I like styles and I like matchups but I never want to be so biased toward a fighter that I would pay money to see an absolute garbage fight that has no business being PPV.
    If the Floyds/Canelos/GGG/Ryan Garcias or whichever A side fighter wants to fight a handpicked easy win, ok... but don't you dare make it PPV. The sad part is the fanbases of those fighters act like the fighter themselves is a PPV attraction regardless of the opponent so their idiocy enables this garbage.

    I disagree. Boxing has always been about a fighter being a draw regardless of who he was facing. Joe Louis literally had a run called the bum of the month club, Ali could fight a broomstick and it would have been an event, we were happy to see Tyson v. McNeely lol. The bum fights have always been like an advertisement or showcase for a star, guys can't fight all time greats everytime out. And even funnier alot of fans consider many ranked fighters bums.

    Preach.
    Canelo still gets **** for fighting Yildrim despite it clearly being a stay busy fight. And it´s completely overlooked that two months after he fought Saunders.

    I hate that modern boxers stay so inactive. At best I can see my favorite boxers compete twice a year. Freaking sucks.
    I did a breakdown once of the current Ring top 10 and I think half of them fought just once a year as of late.
    Ffs, Inoue has been running through his opponents with ease since 2019 and fights just twice a year. Booo!

    Cool then go ahead and explain how the former 2x champ, division ranked 1 for three years, mandatory, interim champ, undefeated and just beat 2 high level opponents last year is NOT more proven than anyone else yelling his name, because that statement is one of the dumbest I have read for a while.

    Is that supposed to be some great argument? Of course he can do what he wants, that does not mean he is immune to getting criticized for it. You seem to think just because he can do what he wants, means he should not be criticized for it. lol.

    Several of the guys who want to fight him are champions. And on paper you can make an argument for anyone. Charlo is a 2 division 2x champ, Crawford a 2x undisputed, 3 division p4p champ etc. Hell even Mungia who doesn't have the credentials at least took a common opponent and demolished him, and I'm sure the list goes on. Not saying any one is more deserving, just saying Benavidez isn't owed it any more than others. Hope he gets it, but if he doesn't I understand because I know what I'm watching. I encourage you to criticize all you want, just know you're not seeing the table with the same perspective the guy making the decisions is apparently.
