I would pay to watch that fight, I think David is a live dog in that fight. These are the fights that need to happen. If he stays at 168 David is the only logical Fight. Caleb, avoided David for a reason and canelo only went after the wbc after they strip David. So their is a back story to the fight already. Make it happen, in the ring, not on paper.
I don't really understand how so many don't see that Canelo still has a stamina issue and fights in spurts to mitigate it. I don't think David will steamroll Canelo but as the fight goes deep he will handily start to dominate Canelo who will tire.
Plant defense is nice but it always looks forced, not natural. He has a hard time converting from defense to offense and lacks power. Some people are born boxers, David is a born boxer and will be the naturally larger man. I would bet half of what I own that he walks out victorious over Canelo.
To get his own shots off David will open himself up and take some serious damage..enough to make him gas as the fight goes on
This guy doesn't have the same educated come forward style golovkin has with a tremendous jab and defence
David gets blown out in 8 rounds easily he will take too many big shots and he's not a serious concussive hitter..he will need to put on a sustained beating to wear canelo down and I can't see that happening
hell no. yall need to stop clinging to the pubic follicles of every fighter at 168 beating bums. Canelo beats the hell out of everyone from 168 on down and I honestly don't see anyone at 175 beating him either. Beterbiev is almost 40 with no defense. Canelo's right glove would be attached to his face permanently all fight
Benevidez is great and probably beats a lot of the top guys at 168 but, not Canelo. He is defensively average and fights too squared up with a soft body and slow feet. Only guys that beat Canelo are guys who can bang in the middle of the ring while making Canelo miss. The hit and run technique is not going to work anymore…please watch the lat 6 rounds of the Jacobs fight. That’s the only way you beat Canelo
Benavidez would of stopped Callum Smith, Saunders and Plant. Not sure why people are saying it will be a easy fight for Canelo, I wouldn’t be surprise if they fight it will be Margarito-Cotto 1 minus the hand wrap. Canelo looks good early but second half of the fight Benavidez takes over and stops Canelo late.
I just can't understand how you are so certain that Benevidez is so good considering the bums hes fought & struggled with,& considering hes draining himself to make smw

It’s the best action fight for Canelo at 168. The last pressure fighter Canelo faced was Ángulo and Canelo put on a virtuoso performance that was fun while it lasted.
Benavidez is bigger, younger, strong, and will go balls to the wall to make it a fight. I don’t see Canelo losing at 168, so I’d prefer to see him fight a great action-packed fight against Benavidez than out pointing Charlo in a good chess match.
And what makes you think this?
Trust me I'm no canelo fan but you're reaching with this Benanvidez hype
Benanvidez would play right into Canelos hands you can't one style walk forward and pressure a hard hitting counter puncher like Canelo
Canelo has proved himself now he can fight many different ways in several divisions and had tremendous fights with ggg back and fourth
the punishment Canelo absorbed from GGG is far more than anything David would be able to muster up ,top that with Canelo being so Dynamic and being able to fight several ways,his defence if he is hurt is up there and his recuperative powers are upper tier
Plant has an exceptional defence and canelo still found the gaps
David has no chance of steam rolling Canelo

Canelo didn't want to unify 168 until Benanvidez was stripped. Tells you all you need to know who Canelo perceived as a threat in the division. Canelo is looking good because he's fighting in a weak division where only other talent Is David.
Not saying David crushes Canelo but if they fought, I would favor David to stop Canelo in the championship rounds.

There's no way that Plant has more one hit power than Benavidez.
What example should I look at to see this certain power..some of the shots plant hit canelo with had some serious mustard behind them
Benavidez wears people down with an accumulation of punches and non stop pressure. in all his stoppages he's landed more punches on "insert opponant" than plants stoppages of "insert opponant"
You see if you do the basic maths then it would suggest plant has more one punch power

He wears you down he's not a concussive one puncher
He will struggle to sustain an attack on canelo without eating heavy counters...that style Is made for canelo and will be far easier work than the plant fight
I'd suggest plant has more one hit power than David and canelo walked through his best shots like they were nothing
Without incredible defense you don't have a chance against canelo
Especially when he's got clen in his veins and the scorecards are filled out the day after they announce the fight
There's no way that Plant has more one hit power than Benavidez.
The opposite of what last night made me think. Canelo is just too hard to land a solid shot on and Benevidez , to a body puncher like Canelo, is wide open. It would be like a gunfight where one guy has taken cover in the rocks and is firing down on some poor cowboy in the road with no cover.
I thought Plant was winning while he was on the move and hard to hit. Unfortunately he kept doing exactly what I thought he would never do, the same thing Smith did, he let himself get trapped on the ropes and tried to cover. Benevidez doesn't even need to trap himself on the ropes, he's so immobile it almost doesn't matter.
Benavidez is the most dangerous opponent for Canelo at 168 and below.
He won't pose the defensive problems that Caleb Plant did but his punch volume and power make him a real threat.

Lol he's too slow and too soft on the body. I can see the Canelo bodyshot KD/KO now
Yeah Canelo would tear into his body and too much of a speed disparity.
Charlo, for as flawed as he is, would pose a bigger challenge stylistically. Canelo wins but Charlo would pose a threat.
