    That's what I saw, Canelo will hit him with counter hooks and I'm no Canelo fan but he'll nail this guy.

    I was far from impressed. Ellis brought almost nothing to the table, and, still made it to the eleventh round. I am no big fan of Canelo, but, he would beat Benavidez with relative ease. Benavidez is too one-dimensional, and doesn't have the game changing power to make Canelo fight out of his comfort zone.

    I made the same observation about DB's power. While he certainly possesses real snap on his punches, he doesn't seem to hit as hard as advertised, at least in terms of one-punch power. He's more of a volume, beat-you-down kind of thumper.

    That he's one of the top 2 or 3 best offensives fighters in the game if not the best and unquestionably the most, spiteful, ruthless and evil. That's at least three times now that I've been concerned for his opponent's safety, such was the ferocity of the beating he administered to them: Gavril II, Angulo, and Ellis all of whom are unquestionably three very tough and durable hombres. Benavidez might not be a one punch kind of guy but it's plain to see he hits hard and that everything he throws is hurtful.

    He's clearly a 175 pounder fighting at 168 though. He probably should've moved up a year or two ago because he doesn't look at all healthy draining himself down to fight at 168.

    Oscar challenged Pac.

    Oscar dragged Pac up 2 weight classes.

    FACTS.

    :deal:

    Are seriously hating on Pac for not jumping THREE weight classes? Name me some fighters who jumped THREE weight classes... If you can't, you should go blow a homeless dude w/ COVID. I'll wait.

    :deal:
