    If I hear another clown compare benavidez to GGG I will lose my mind.

    Benavidez is..

    6'2 compared to 5'10. 9 years younger. Faster. Much bigger in a bigger weight class and actually hits harder. 75 inch reach compared to GGG 70 inch. More vicious than GGG ever was and more talented. And Canelo is 33 vs 27 when he fought GGG. He is a much tougher challenge for Canelo than GGG ever was so stop saying why would Canelo be scared because he fought GGG.

    9 fights? What?

    Canelo has 64 fights and in his 60th fight he unified all the belts to become undisputed. In his 61st fight he went to 175 and lost. His 62nd fight was reportedly a pre-arranged DAZN grudge match w GGG. 63rd fight was Ryder, a mandatory.

    Benavidez was champ twice and lost it twice for getting high and not making weight. That's Benavidez fault. Canelo fights Benevidez by May of 2025, if not sooner.

    Why everyone keeps battery packing Benavidez I dont know. He's a good fighter and looks like a monster at 168. Wont be the same ar 175 or CW that much is clear.

    Literally not a single word you wrote responded to the point I made. That takes Talent, well done. Now its back to 2025? almost 2 years? LOL...ye clearly not ducking. David had to earn the fight then has to wait 2 years while fighters who have done nothing get the shot instead? Canela fans are utter clowns.

    It's almost as if they don't want to see the fight for some reason...

    Let's see Bennie move up and fight Beterbiev and Bivol. Stop clout chasing Canelo, he's gonna retire soon.

    He might have already moved up by now if Canelo wasn't blatantly ducking him. He certainly deserves the opportunity to finish his business at 168 before leaving the division.

    You're talking about Canelo? He's the undisputed champion of super middleweight.

    Yes ,and he's undisputedly avoiding his best challenger at that weight, why? lack of money? no, Benevidez isn't a worthy challenger? no,, He'd have his hands full and he knows it?,,,,Yes.

    I think you're wrong. I think he will. But when he wants. So if I'm a cynical Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, I'm betting that my reflexes are deteriorating at a rate that favors me when compared to Benavidez' ever increasing difficulties making 168. So if this is your calculation, each day they don't fight serves Canelo. Camp Alvarez will try to gauge the precise moment that team Benavidez says **** it we can afford to move to 175 and let the twitterverse and historians argue about who ducked who.

    Whenever they think that is, Team Alvarez will make the fight 5 minutes before that.

    I'll be rooting for Benavidez cause I think that Canelo's "greatness" is largely constructed of such calculations. That made clear, I think Canelo is actually good enough that he beats Benavidez **** on ****. He'll fold him over. It'll be a stoppage from a left hook to the liver.

    Canelo belongs at 168lbs legitimately. It's the perfect weight for him. He lost alot of weight to make 168lbs vs GGG. You know, he put on a plastic sweat suit to lose weight at times. It looks like Benevidez is making 168lbs just fine now. This time, Canelo will be able to see what its like being the older fighter vs young, dangerous prime fighter, just like Golovkin did. The judges of coarse will still favor Canelo as usual, should it go the distance.

    Wow, a lot of Canelo haters on this board.

    I have bad news for you. Canelo will KO Benavidez easily. Benavidez isn't even in the same league with Canelo.
