    DB is the man at 168. He'd stop GGG as well.

    I agree. And to be the man, you have to beat the man.. and Benevidez has yet to do that!

    Benavidez is part black-eyed raven mane snarling Roberto Duran, part Pablo Escobar, and part English country gentleman.

    This would be a terrific fight. Canelo much better defensively and has the hand speed edge. More proven chin. Probably equal power. Obviously way more experience but at this level I don’t think that counts for a lot and Benavidez has some decent experience.

    Benavidez has most other attributes mind you.

    I think Canelo can win the early rounds most definitely. Benavidez will make it super competitive if he lets his hands go. That’s a big if which I doubt will happen.

    Benavidez doesn’t really use his length that well tbh. So maybe reach is out of the equation any way.

    I’d give Canelo the edge but only slightly 60/40

    So the We-Hate-Canelo club is now nominating Benavidez as his next boogieman?

    I'll say it now, good, close fight. Canelo takes it.

    Canelo should make the Benavidez fight it’s the biggest fight at 168 to be made and forget about rematching Bivol or doing something stupid like fighting Beterbiev .

    Obviously Benavidez has very good hand speed too. Especially with those short combos.

    Just think Canelo edges it.

    Mind you I thought Canelo had hand speed on Bivol too lol and it didn't appear the case on fight night! I do kind of put that down to Canelo carrying too much weight though. Think he's much quicker @ 168.

    Lol.

    Canelo does not, in fact, have the hand speed edge.
