I don't know what people is overrating this guy.
He has the perfect style to Canelo.
Canelo is a very educated fighter, strong as hell, granite chin and very high IQ, very Nice defense and skills, and great body punches
Benavidez has a lot of holes in his defense, Gavril floored him.
He lacks of head movement and has very Bad foto movement.
Canelo always likes agressive fighters, they are easy fights to him.
Golovkin was not able to put pressure on him , only in the first fight because canelo was counterpunching
Then he realized that he has the strong to eat the power of ggg and in the second and third fight he fought in the Center of the ring.
Benavidez is very overrated.
And has the perfect style to be smashed by canelo.

All these Canelo fans coming out with excuse after excuse .
Benavidez is going to stop Canelo and make Canelo take a 1-2 year hiatus after the embarrassing loss. Canelo is a old 32 years old and his workrate is trash, he can knock out the Caleb’s, Billy Joe’s and Callum’s of the world but Benavidez is a whole different animal. He isn’t there to lay down
So let's see it...
There's pros and cons for each side in this matchup, and they're mostly obvious. Canelo's IQ and counterpunching vs David's size and volume.
Canelo doesn't like the matchup because things will get scary for him if the fight goes long where he starts to fatigue, and Benavidez is still marching forward with his combinations. It could look exactly like Cotto/Margarito 1.
How negotiations with the PBC for the Plant fight were an ongoing nightmare. They got resolved but probably left a bad taste in Canelo's mouth after that
Probably a non issue. He got paid…….
I meant LMW
Canelo couldn't fight at WW anymore, he had outgrown the division. He was a weakened zombie in that Jose Cotto fight, his very last fight at WW
Benavidez is a weight bully, who should be fighting at LHW along with that other weight bully Callum Smith
But is he draining himself? clearly not much, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good gas tank
everybody's different, Benavidez is just one of those guys who can cut a lot of weight and remain strong (for now, he'll lose that ability the more he ages), kinda like young Chavez Jr.
but even the strong Benavidez got put on his ass by a cab driver Gavril, and couldn't stop said cab driver in two fights
after that, he's fought nothing but washed up hasbeens like Dirrell or Lemieux, or never wases like ped cheat J'leon Love
Canelo would have a field day with Benavidez opposition and you'd be calling him a cherrypicking fraud for fighting such opposition
Benavidez the weight bully is a basic fighter with no head movement, he'll get countered to head and body by Canelo, he doesn't have Bivol's footwork to just throw flurries and get the hell out of there before getting touched in return
If Canelo's stamina is on point for that fight, Canelo should Win this
Here we go with the moving of the goal posts.
You can't say Canelo out grew a division and in the same breathe call someone else a weight bully for doing the exact same thing.
I don't care if Canelo has a field day with Benavidez...I don't want to hear you or anyone else say that, I want to see it. And no I wouldn't call him a cherry picking fraud......Suanders, Smith, and Plant all have equally horrible resumes, I guarantee you can't pull up any post of mine ever calling Canelo a cherry picking fraud.
Canelo's stamina is another reason why that fight would be intriguing....thanks for building my point. They both have flaws that can be exploited.
Lol you still have time to delete this comment.
You're telling me 6'2 Benavidez isn't/wasn't draining himself? Both Canelo and Benavidez are notorious weight cutters, which im no opposed to. If you can make the weight then I say fair game.

What Plant/PBC fiasco?
How negotiations with the PBC for the Plant fight were an ongoing nightmare. They got resolved but probably left a bad taste in Canelo's mouth after that
Canelo was weight drained in that fight, that was a zombie version of him, probably worse than the one Mayweather fought
He was growing up and couldn't make the 147 lbs anymore, he moved to LHW immediately after that Jose Cotto scare and stayed there
Benavidez wasn't a weight drained zombie when he got put on his ass by a cab driver

Smith is not better than anyone, at this point, as he has never beaten anyone either besides a washed up Groves.
Canelo confused him because, by your logic, he has also never fought anyone.
I never said Benavidez has a good chin so idk who is " you all".
Benavidez was dropped by Gavril, Canelo was almost TKO'd by Miguel Cotto's irrelevant brother.
Gavril, who i know never amounted to much, is by definition a power puncher....that's who he is and his style.

Man, Thats false.
Benavidez let his guard down a Lot of times in his fights, i can show You that in each fight.
And Canelo gasses out in every fight. All fighters have flaws. Idk the logic with fans like you. Like i posted in another thread, since you want to come out and say why a certain fight is a fight Canelo shouldn't take or is a waste of time....why don't you actually post who you want to see Canelo fight?
Smith has better power punch than Benavidez is a more educated fighter, better counter too.
Callum tried to figured out canelo and got outboxed and his bíceps was hurted.
He admitted canelo boxing skills confused him.
And why all You all still saying benabidez has a good chin?
Guy was dropped by Gavril
David never fought against a real power puncher. And a fighter than never fought vs a good power puncher can't be tested in that area

Canelo probably doesn't want to fight Benavidez due to the PBC fiasco with Plant, doubt he's ducking lol/ If Benavidez was with DAZN, he'd probably have no issue fighting him. Plus Benavidez is tailor made for Canelo.

I don't know.....Bummy did beat Gavril twice.....
the problem with Benavidez is volume and chin. he's a high volume fighter and seems to have a good gas tank
He's basically Margarito in his prime.
He will put you on a treadmill on incline for 36 minutes straight. Canelo will go empty very fast.
Margarito got beat up by just about All The great fighters.

Benavidez has a rock chin that Gavril KD was bogus. He was squared up and off balance and a freakin 21 yr old at the time. He's been hit flush since and hadn't even blinked.
Thats a Bad example.
Canelo had the body of a kid in that fight.
Benavidez was in prime with the strong of an adult.
Canelo never was hurted when he was a real adult in 25-27 years.
And canelo proved against the bigger k.o artits he can eat great power.
David never did it.
He is not tested in many senses.
Remember canelo has a high k.o ratio in 168.
Canelo was 20 years old when he fought Jose Cotto and Benavidez fought Gavril at 21 years old, the age discrepancy is next to none.
And to be fair at that point specifically of the career of Canelo is not the best example, considering he fought Amir Khan, Liam Smith and and Chavez Jr, he had better opponents earlier on against Miguel Cotto, Lara, and Kirkland at 23-25 years old.
The biggest punchers Canelo faced are:
-Daniel Jacobs (81% KO ratio) who stopped knocking out fighters after facing Golovkin 3 years before fighting Canelo.
-Kovalev (85% KO ratio) a light heavyweight whom for some reason is disregarded after beating two prime Champions in the same year in Eleider and Yarde, the latter being considered by Eddie Hearn to face Bivol.
-Golovkin (93% KO ratio) whom he faced two times and were fiercely competitive with questionable outcomes until the third rematch.
Take into mind that Benavidez hasn't been rocked ever since after Gavril against KO artists in:
-Roamer Alexis Angulo (85% KO ratio) who should had beaten Edgar Berlanga and Sims Jr.
-Anthony Dirrell (75% KO ratio) who beaten Rubio and Caleb Truax.
-David Lemieux (84% KO ratio) who defeated Rosado, and Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam.
Lemiux did lost to Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, but he is one of the best examples of a heavy hitter.
Canelo's resume easily washes over Benavidez which he is turning 26 years old this December. None of these fighters he faced are all hall of famers, but they were ranked at the top of super middleweight and of all them were in winning streaks in their prime.
But at 168 Benavidez holds all the advantages on Canelo whose fighting above his weight limit.
He has the stamina to apply pressure throughout the twelve rounds, he has height and reach which is above the average super middleweight being even larger than Kolavev in actuality (6'3), unlike Bivol he is able to crack and has abnormal speed for someone his size.
A 6'2 high volume aggressive power puncher with a great jab and body punches, and the highest power punch accuracy in boxing is tailor made for Canelo huh? lol. The delusion is unreal. He is a hellish match up for a midget with poor cardio and work rate. He literally has every advantage in this fight.
btw check compubox numbers, Benavidez has better defense than Canelo. lol.
They said Beterbiev is tailor made for him too
