    167 lb Nigel Benn who fought Steve Collins twice goes up against 167 1/2 lb Saul Alvarez who fought Terence Crawford. Would the fading Dark Destroyer get the veteran Canelo out of there before he tires out? Or would Alvarez force Benn to submit?

    Canelo is just waaay too slick for a guy like Benn.

    Bud was a far tougher opponent than Collins but Benn was bigger and more powerful than Canelo.

    One of the worst match-ups for Benn. Canelo is too good at defending, taking shots and countering for him.
