Lets be real here, Benevidez woudlve beat the living dog piss outta canelo. It wouldnt even see the final bell that i woudlve guaranteed you.
Canelo couldnt even handle the jab from a small crawford. Benevidez would be peppering him with jabs and combinations and have him quit.
Whovanidez more like it
Why would someone duck someone with such a decrepit resume :dunno:
Benny's best payday was vs DooDoo
He almost cracked 7 mil :lol1:
His best W is still UDW Plant
No one would give Nelo props of any kind if he had Benny's laughable resume :lol1:
FOH
he sounded satisfied with what he has accomplished
That's what I meant. He was too complacent and overconfident coming into this fight and damn near quit towards the end of it. He was ready to give up because nothing he did or was attempting to do on Crawford was working.
He needed that second and third gear but it wasn't there. A fighter could only bite down, dig deep and go to the well so many times before hitting a wall and that is what happened.
I thought his body was beginning to show signs of decline and aging; Especially in the second half of the fight. Those five hundred plus rounds he's fought in his career are now finally taken its toll on his body.
It has left him both old, slow and shopworn. It appeared as though he has aged about 15 years more in boxing years when compared to Bud Crawford last night. Who was the much younger and fresher of the two fighters.

there's a reason why Terence wants to go down to 160
he knows Saul was a one off
stylistic disadvantage, past prime, and in his 4th weight division so Terence wasn't undersized
still the next best win in boxing history after Roberto-Sugar Leonard
beating a 35 year old canelo who ducked the best fighter for the last 4 years to stay on top is the 2nd best win in boxing history? canelo was a good fighter still but he wasnt an all time great like leonard or any other all time great, especially since he wasnt even prime. you seem to be giving crawford special moving up in weight points, problem is the fighter he beat just wasnt great
Crawford is better than David at any weight.
That said, I would agree David would be more physical and offensive and put Canelo in more danger of a KO loss.
Davis would body bag him let's be real
i feel like there is nothing left for canelo except maybe creating another canelo weight division like 165 or 172? he can dominate that made up division
Yeah there are no exciting fights left. Even if he beat Crawford who would he even fight?
I think that's why tueki made this fight in the first place, if he didn't have Crawford yesterday he would be fighting another scull or berlanga like who cares about those fights
crawford is better than david p4p
at 168 crawford is not better than david
davids underrated defense and crazy work rate would really dominate canelo and david doesnt have to be as cautious as crawford with him being a natural 168lber and an assumed better chin at the weightthere's a reason why Terence wants to go down to 160

Canelo is only cherry picking he did it vs skull, bivol and bu. As for bud he's obviously dodging boots @ 147 154 said no interest last night styles makes fights boots style req g and size makes a tough night for bud. Every boxer gas that 1 guy they dodge cause the style risk and pay
thats pretty much true. he had a great run in 2021 but he was never the same after that. idk if its just the stress of fighting 4 times in a 12 month period or from moving up for the bivol battering but he wasnt as good when he returned and he openly ducked bena who had high output, reach, defense and fast legs. His team and him KNEW that style was all wrong. He didnt want the loss at 168, with Bivol atleast he had the excuse that it was from moving up

canelo has been artificially extending his career for years now with hand picked fights. anyone calling him the best, the champ, the king are sorely mistaken. he forfeited that claim when he ducked benavidez.

While Crawford is much better than David, David's volume would likely overwhelm Canelo.
This is the only guy Canelo has clearly avoided. Hopefully he goes up to challenge for David’s “title”.

Time for nelo to retire or have an easy fun goodbye fight in Mexico
i think its time for more easy fights against the likes of munguia, berlanga, etc...
