    Ducking doesn't mean scared

    These are professional fighters. But if he's refusing to fight a worthy challenger it's a duck as you said

    I see your point. It would be ducking in a professional sense, but not ducking in my mind like say Floyd did of Manny, which was a fight which should have happened earlier- certainly before Marquez knocked out manny. Many of the comments I have seen, maybe not here but other places suggest scared in regardes to Cenelo and I just don't see that. But ducking? In a very light way. A lot of guys can get to that level and have been to all levels as Canelo has, and how motivated would he be with Benevidez? For Benevidez it is his biggest fight, and still I don't see the big challenge. Beterbiev I can see that.

    Well Benavidez was his number 1 contender and he had every belt and he didn't face him.

    So it's a duck, a champ should defend against the best contenders.

    It's blatantly obvious its a duck LOL Not too long ago Canelo was prancing around making a fool of himself by Wearing a crown & proclaiming " I am the King of Boxing. I am the Face of Boxing. I just cannot be defeated" !!!!! BUT!!! Then he make the big mistake of under estimating Dmitry Bivol challenging him for his 175 belt WRONG!!!!!!!!! Dmitry put the loudmouth in his place emphatically when he whipped Canelo's ass & showed the loudmouth who really was the master boxer ROFL. Canelo barely won a round. Dmitry Took Canelo's soul when he gave him that schooling his courage evaporated.. Dmitry weighed in Four ounces heavier than Ginger who claimed that was the reason he got embarrassed, NOT the fact Dmitry was the far superior boxer ROFL!!!!!
    I still refuse to buy the Berlanga fight & give $$$$ to a person like Canelo who I believe to be a fraud & a coward..
    The fight I will buy is the Beterbiev-Bivol showdown Both these guys wear the Mantle Undisputed Champion of the World With PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When this happens May The Best Man Win!!!!!!!!!!!!

    His opponents are no worse than anyone elses resume. Canelo is fighting ryders, mungias, and 154 pounders and can't even stop them. Compubox are working to promote Benavidez now? That's a nice conspiracy to deflect data you don't like. I prefer to just use real evidence. Even with your eyes you can see David is very accurate with his punches.

    I will gladly compare Davids resume after 29 fights and Canelo's just let me know.
