Benavides average performance could be a blessing in disguise for making the Canelo fight come to fruition

well first there is the matter of weight, canelo just heard david say he was 189 pounds on fight night, 31 pounds over 168, even the most brutal weight cuts max out around 25 pounds, so even coming to 168 will be hard and canelo will try to put in a rehydration clause. but lets ignore that for now, canelo will need david to respect his power if he is to win, i cant see david being bothered buy it and if we assume david gasses guess what canelo also gasses and david pressuring canelo for 6 rounds that will wear down canelo with him constantly moving, avoiding shots ect. they will both be tired second half. you could see Gvozdyk didnt really tire too bad and he was able to physically push david off him whenever he wanted move him around ect, david cant wear down the bigger guys like he does smaller men. its possible canelo can win rounds late if he survives the relentless pressure which he probably would but he still looses too many rounds IMO.30 pounds holy crap weight bully lol Rehydration clause would cause Ben to get tired he was already fading last night

Gvozdyk actually had more success against Betterbieve than Benavidez despite the stoppage loss. well yeah he was a better fighter at 32 than 37. thats like saying Pacquaio had more success with Mayweather than Ugas, two fights which are also 5 years apart.

Bena is too hittable Alvarez been able to win. Only he knows why he so gun shy about it I think the size bothers Canelo, if they fight I think Canelo can beat him, I don't think DB can beat Bivol or Beterbiev either, but he is a good solid fighter and wont be a pushover unless his chin cracks.

He won almost every round...he slowed it down a bit after he had it wrapped, why wouldn't he?

he gassed and couldn't really hurt Gvodzyk, but Benevidez still won an easy clear decision. It took Golovkin barely scraping a decision against Jacobs to entice ginger. It took Kovolev going life and death against Yarde for team Canelo to quickly send him a contract without any recovery time. I don't know if Benevidez' performance was bad enough for team Canelo lol Uh Gvozdyk is completely shot. He has 2 cement feet and 0 pop in his hands. his defence was legit just eating everhting Bena thru until he gassed

Idk why. That’s just what Benavidez looks like against a guy his own size. Gvozdyk was old though, but had a good chin and good size on him. Plant was also closer to Benavidez size but not quite, and had no power. But still Benavidez struggled for the first half. But these fights don’t show what success Canelo would have, as Canelo is 5’8” and a former 154lb champion. If anything, the fights against Plant and Gvozdyk show what Bivol could do against Benavidez. I think Bivol would whoop Benavidez. Easy work Bivol knocks Beterbiev out next up Jai Opetaia that’s all time great: Alvarez Beter Jai Bena would be cherry on top there’s also Morrell the Cuban who loves to FIGHT instead of box

Because he's going to have to walk through hell to do it. He'll never be the same afterwards. Not at his age with his mileage. beat Bena maybe rematch easy fight or two then super fight with Terence in 2025 or 2026

Had he blasted the Ukrainian out of there no way in hell would Canelo fight him but after this average performance Canelo has got to be wanting to jump at the opportunity for a mega showdown in September. Bena is too hittable Alvarez been able to win. Only he knows why he so gun shy about it
