Benavidez will spring the upset. He's too big , too active and too aggressive. Canelo is nearing 70 professional fights. He's on the downward slide now
Canelo is a menace, no one beats him at middle and super middle. Ggg beat him twice but was both times robbed. I don't even count bivol and beterbiev because they are light heavys. Canelo is an absolute elite level fighter and atg. Just enjoy him. Still ggg was the real champ and beat canelos in both fights
He has the style and work rate to outpoint Canelo over 12 rounds. But while I think Benavidez will out land Canelo, Canelo can still slip a lot of his shots, not get hurt, and time him with big shots and win more rounds. I think the key to beating Benavidez is not having stamina issues. If Canelo fades down the stretch against Benavidez he loses, but the way Canelo fought Charlo, I think he can win because he didn't have any stamina issues. Also I think Canelo can really brutalize Benavidez to the body. Especially when he uses the kind of head movement we saw against Charlo.
Beterbiev TKO’s clenelo Bivol outpoints him Benavidez…I’m not sure…He could turn it into a dog fight, but his skill level is the worst of the 3 B’s…and he has poor defense, I could see clenelo knocking him out…but even he has a chance, just far less than the other two..
Beterbeiv and Bivol are safe choices. Benavidez would give Canelo hell. I think David Morrell has a chance as well. The reality is that if you let Canelo dictate the pace of the fight, he is going to dominate and he won't gas down the stretch. If you take the fight to him and try to back him up, he will break down and gas in the later rounds. The problem with a lot of Canelo opponents is that they let him at his pace and they keep backing up. Bivol showed everyone how it's done. You commit to your jabs, you throw combos and you push him back. If you don't get his respect, then he will keep coming forward and wing powershots. Benavidez has a great chance to beat Canelo because he likes to counter and throw in combination. He's not going to run. He's going to take the fight to Canelo and make him pay with power. That's why Canelo won't fight him. It's the kind of style that makes him frustrated and gas. Morrell also has a decent chance because he is offensive and he's a southpaw. I don't like his hands down defense at times, but if the tightens his defense up and take the fight to Canelo, he as a chance too.
He looks sloppy when throwing shots There's nothing elite or eye pleasing about him. If you like watching people throwing punnches and watching their man boobs jiggle then David Benavidez is your man.
Bivol didn't school Canelo, cause he was bigger, or weighted more, hell prolly Canelo weighted more at fight night. He beats him cause he was miles, and i mean miles better. Skill wise is not even close. So Bivol beats Canelo in every single division possible. Unless Canelo put some ridiculous one-side rehydration clause, but Bivol ain't that stupid and won't agree, cause of money.
