I must not be seeing the same things you guys are seeing, but Im not confident Beny beats GGG at 168. Let's say that GGG's chin and power carry up to the weight. Benavidez is there to be hit, and has been hurt by lesser guys than GGG. Benavidez hits like a mule but I don't think he hits hard enough to hurt GGG. I could see GGG's experience, work rate, and punching power coming into play here. GGG's closest fights were against guys who were light on their feet and had good footwork. By no means is Benavidez light on his feet.
You’re showing your fanboy ignorance again. Canelo edged out a win over ggg in a rematch of a fight that he clearly lost. Nobody “beat the crap” out of anybody else.
Derv a bum? Wow your love interest (Canelo) dumped a belt rather than fight him.
If you truly think ggg lost to Jacobs, it shows that you don’t know a phucking thing about this sport.
Delusional for real, Canelo fans can't have it both ways, on one hand they say the judges word is gospal, but then he also beat the crap out of GGG. But the judges scored it 7-5, 7-5, and 6-6, that isn't even close to getting the crap beat out of you lol.
Canelo beat the crap out of Lil G with Mexican style in the second fight. He followed Lil G's pre-fight advice to "stand in front of me, don't fight like sissy, fight like a man". He injured his body and head with crispy power punches. He also showed tremendous head movement performance. Lil G's jab accuracy was only 20%. Much more incredible and solid defensive performance than Lil G's praised high guard performance. Lil G's career ended after that fight. Then, he got beaten by bums like Derevyanchenko and got hospitalized.
Lil G lost to Jacobs, Canelo and Derevyanchenko. Stop crying more.

Stop acting like he as fought bums. All his opponents have been very solid fighters with good records, with very few losses, who were durable and David did not just defeat them he beat the crap out of them.
Stop acting like Benevides has a good resume. He doesn’t. Look, I get it, David’s your super hero and he might actually end up being a top shelf fighter. But until he proves that in the ring, you have to quit posting ignorant shyte like he has a good resume, he’s as good right now as ggg ever was, and that Canelo/Benevides is the most lucrative fight that can currently be made.
Not much of a statement vs that opposition.

They literally have nothing in common as fighters other than being big and Mexican. David is leagues better as a fighter, and apart from 1 close fight when he was 20 years old, he has looked extremely impressive in every fight and beat the living crap put of every opponent.

We have ourselves a fanboy… :lol1:
The comparison is very reasonable, you probably weren’t even following boxing back when JCC Jr was on the rise.
To say Gavril lost “clearly” is complete bias bullsh**. Gavril is probably worse than Zbik tbh.
Both promoted as the next big Mexican star, both struggled with making weight, both got questionable decisions vs supposedly overmatched European’s for vacant WBC titles, both have a taste for Columbia’s finest. Yeah they clearly have nothing in common…

Floyd Mayweather who knows a bit abut boxing thinks David beats Canelo and is being ducked and your talking about Chavez friggin jnr? lol
A teenage Benavidez gave GGG hard work in sparring. Today he is better than GGG ever was, much bigger and faster. He beats the hell out of GGG at 168 today, who struggled vs Derevyanchenko who is a 5'9 midget and you think he hurts Benavidez? He never even hurt him when he sparred him for years when david was a teenager.
Benevides flat out hasn’t fought the quality of opposition to say something dumb like he’s better than ggg ever was.
What’s with your weird obsession with Benevides? You literally post only in threads about him. Is he your brother in law or what?
Arguably in the first fight.
He took beating his life in the second fight. He escaped from the ring before the interview and audience booed him lmfao.
Ahh I almost forgot.. he also got hospitalized by Derevyanchenko.
So, he can't beat Benavidez at Benavidez's weight troll. Nice try though.
You’re a special kind of douche bag fanboy. The whole world saw ggg win the first fight but get jobbed on the cards and you’re a complete idiot if you think ggg “took the beating of his life” in the second fight. What happen was a very close fight (I thought Canelo edged it). Wtf does ggg leaving the ring before the interview have to do with anything? To think that makes some kind of statement is stupid. I don’t think the current version of ggg can beat Benevides either but with intelligent reasoning not the fanboy dumb shyte you posted.
Well it should be he has missed weight in 2 of his last 3 fights but he's obviously content on continuing to drain himself to fight small gatekeeper types than actually challenging himself or fighting anyone with a pulse his own size.
Zurdo has never missed weight and fights at LHW and has for some time, there really is nothing much at all in them size wise.
Stop lying. He only missed weight once, years ago. Just like Canelo once did.
Zurdo is far more muscular than Benavidez, who has a dad body.
Only a moron would compare bum chavez jnr to a prodigy like Benavidez who is the youngest ever SM champion. Gavril was a decent fighter, who put up a good fight but still lost clearly in a tight fight, and was white washed in the rematch.

Recent sparring footage of them both. They're practically the same size.
Only one is professional, makes weight and now fights at his natural weight class, the other continues to kill himself making weight to fight blown up sparring partners
His career is not finished at 168. You could make your arguments vs many fighters who cut weight. David is pretty skinny, he is naturally smaller than Zurdo and more of a natural 168 fighter.

My thing with David Benvidez and his fans and fantasy fights is why is he and his fans always calling out small ass dudes?
The fat fvck can't even make SMW so forget fighting 40yr old MWs and take your ass to LHW where you will probably still struggle to make weight and fight someone your own damn size for once in your life!
Move up & go see Zurdo, Bivol, Beterbiev, Callum Smith etc lets see how good you really are because I see nothing impressive about walking down guys that are anything upto 30lbs smaller, in fact I find it lame as hell.
Yeah Benavidez definitely has more attributes, definitely in terms of speed and power.
I’ve thought this for a while though, I remember when he fought Gavril and everybody was showing the highlight reel KO of Porky Medina and bigging him up as the next big thing and then he really struggled and probably should have lost.
Reminded me of when Chavez Jr had his first HBO headliner vs Zbik, he was being promoted heavily and he also badly struggled and arguably should have lost.
There’s definitely parallels between the two both in terms of style and career path.
