Ah, well, you know what? Benavidez is never going to get that fight. He's a big fella and a weight bully, he last fought at 168lb in almost 3 years ago, btw.
I think with the Bivol loss, Canelo came to the conclusion that size and weight classes do matter. In saying that, I do think Canelo avoided Benavidez and I feel he has every right, too.
I don't use the term weight bully, because if a man can make weight, he's within the rules of the sport. Fundora makes 154, so is he a bully because he was born tall with long arms? Heavyweights can be 205 lbs or 270 lbs, and still fight eachother. Bigger doesn't always mean better, it's what's inside of a man that matters more than sheer size. Some guys pack more lbs on after the weigh in, but that can sometimes work against them. Was Benavidez a weight bully when he moved up and beat Zurdo? Was Canelo's weight an advantage when he fought Bud? Everything depends on the individual. Benavidez is bigger than Canelo, but at the same time, he's also way faster, has way more stamina and throws way more punches than Canelo. Those are more legit reasons to avoid Benavidez than just his size alone. When Canelo moved up to fight an older, slower Kovalev, you wasn't this afraid for his health.
Canelo loses gracefully. Against Mayweather, Bivol, & Bud- Canelo wore each one of those ass whippings like a man, and made no excuses. One person he's terrified of losing to though, is Benavidez. Because Canelo is a true student of boxing, and highly intelligent. And he knew that even if Mayweather, Bivol and Bud had a chance to beat him, that it probably wouldn't be by knockout, so he rolled the dice with them. But he knows if he loses to Benavidez, it could be a different type of loss than any he's ever experienced. Against Benavidez, a guy who would come in the shape of his life, and probably throw 100 hard, accurate punches per round, by the end of the fight, at a minimum, Canelo's face would be a swollen, bloody mess. It would be the type of face no one has ever seen on Canelo b4. At worst, he could get bludgeoned and/or knocked out and stopped. And for Canelo, he could never live with that type of beating, especially from another Mexican.
Tim Tszyu is good, but to say he can become Australia's best fighter ever, how is that possible? That's disrespectful to legends, like his own father. It's disrespectful to Lionel Rose, Anthony Mundine Sr, Johnny Famechon, Les Darcy, and definitely disrespectful to Dave Sands. It's even disrespectful to Vic Patrick. My thing with Fenech is, can he help Tim develop his defense? Tim is already plenty tough, he doesn't need Fenech for that, but certainly taking less punches would extend his career and preserve his future health
I really hope Lindolfo can swell Teo's eyes until they look like 2 blood oranges. His whole training camp should be focused on punishing Teo's eyeballs, elbows and hard headbutts included. Turn into a billy goat on his ass. Study Holyfield vs.Tyson. Butt him so hard he wants to bite a piece of your ear off
The way boxing works is this. You train as hard as you can, get into the best shape possible that you feel you can perform your best at, and step on the scale. Whatever weight that is, that's your best fighting weight. Fundora makes 154 with room to spare. Why should he go up to please fans, if his best fighting weight is 154 and he makes it comfortably? When he got knocked out, the same critics said "he was exposed", "he was all hype", he's a bum with no chin". Now that he's whipping some ass, the chatter becomes "he's a weight bully", "why doesn't he fight someone his own size?", "he should bulk up and face AJ", etc. Come on people,
When someone is 20 years old and out thinking, out boxing, beating up, and knocking out grown men who are far more experienced, I can't say it's hype. Because I imagine he has a tremendous work ethic, so I know he's constantly learning and improving, not to mention getting sharper and stronger. So I can imagine him coming into his grown man strength in 3 or 4 years. By then, you can forget about it. If you think he's a problem now, he'll really be something in the near future
I'm not sure why Charlo is still out there talking about boxing when he hasn't seen a ring in years. That would be like Iran Barkley teasing a comeback. And to make matters worse, Charlo is so drunk he can't even tie his shoe, let alone box
He really should be fighting at 175 or higher. His sister should be at 135. Disgraceful that the sport allows this.
He makes the weight. It's not his fault he's tall and lanky with long arms.
What some boxers have in cuteness and style, Tim has it in toughness. He has that dog element that is missing in some boxers. If he can refine his boxing skills and put it all together, he can reach his true potential
Historically, Panamanians always had a very relaxed, loose, awkward, herky jerky style, with good head movement and sharp reflexes, like Panama Al Brown, Ismael Laguna, Ernesto Marcel, Eusebio Pedroza, Hilario Zapata, Celestino Caballero, and many others. Duran's boxing style was Panmanian, not Mexican
I'm confused how beating Jazza Dickens will put Cacace in the same conversation with Mickey Walker, Tommy Loughran, Jimmy McLarnin, Rinty Monaghan, Steve Collins, Carl Frampton, Andy Lee, Tyson Fury and so many other great Irish boxers. He only has 20 something fights against who? And he's already 37. Give me a break
You hung yourself when you aggressively claimed if you criticise Jeff Lacy for beating zero ranked opponents in his career that it must mean “you don’t know boxing” because “anyone that was in an Olympic team must be elite” especially when all you seem to do is criticise legitimate world champion pros, all of which are way more accomplished than Jeff Lacy. It’s overt hypocrisy and double standards.
So it’s a you problem.
You're still talking about a post I made in 2025. You're obssessed with me. You must be a fruit bowl
Ryan is a manufactured champ. He was carefully guided to the title against the slowest, weakest most shot opponent in Barrios. So he's not really a champ at all. The proof is in the pudding. How TF do you even merit a shot at ANY title, when your last fight, was like 7 months ago when you got your ass beat by Rolly, and b4 that, when you were caught using PEDS against Devin Haney? Who on Earth would be given a title shot based on his last two fights, unless they had a massive marketing machine behind them? So if he really feels like a champ inside based on merit, then he's even more delusional than I already think he is. They need to keep carefully guiding him, because he's garbage
For those with the mental strength and maturity, yes, changing trainer is a no brainer. I'm not sure Teo can handle the potential drama though. He seems mentally and emotionally weak. Keeping his idiot dad around suggests this is the case.
Both him and his dad are mentally and emotionally weak. (
Moving up makes sense I guess. 3 division champ looks good on the resume and the champs there don't seem unbeatable. Teo Vs Ryan for a belt would be a big fight if it were to happen.
As crazy as it may seem, I think keeping the dad also makes some sense in a way. Sr seems unstable so sacking him might cause a lot of personal life drama which could really negatively affect Teo.
When somebody is full of negative energy, you have to get away from them. For example, the same way his wife left him for a brother with a bigger johnson, he gotta leave his pops for a smarter trainer
Shakur closed both of Teo's eyes, while opening the top corners of them like a babies mouth. So can you imagine what a welterweight could do with him? I think it's a great move to keep his dad. I love how he gives lame ass instructions in the corner, like, "Where's your power Papa? Go hit that n*gga! Come on Papa, he's just like the n*gga with 13 inches that's f__cking your wife Papa!! To get inside, keep your left hand real low, put your chin in the air and leap in like a tiger. Get mad, think about what that n*gga must be doing to your wife. He's knocking the bottom out of her sh__t Papa!! You gonna hate yourself in the morning!" I want him to get right back in there with all the biggest punchers available. He's still not humble yet, and still racist. I wanna see his eyeballs get exploded in 2026. Let's go Teo!
Meldonium is used a lot more in northern European countries. It's rarely seen in the U.S. People here in the U.S. are much more into drugs like Ostarine and Nandrolone, like Ryan Garcia, he fu...king loves that sh..t flowing through his veins. Without it, he's just Ryan the Instagram metro-se_xual. But when he's on that O-pack, that's when he turns into King Ry
I'll believe it when it gets signed. Oscar does not want this fight to happen. He'll find a way to torpedo it somehow, probably while wearing velvet fish nets, a suede thong, &, open toed high heels with his nose dripping, numb as hell
So you haven't looked into the case at all is what you're telling me. The Canadian government did their own entire investigation and they came to the same conclusion as the Brazilians.
The only people who say he didn't kill himself are the people his family paid to come to that conclusion and sell it to people like you without two brain cells to rub together.
Here's a man that was beating a woman, in public, so savagely that multiple people had to intervene with weapons to stop him and you're automatically taking his side because he was nice to you one time.
You have no moral compass nor a functioning mind.
If I walked by and saw a man savagely beating your mum in a parking lot, I'd walk right and let him continue. 1) it's not my business, 2) should I assume she deserves help just because she's a woman? 3) how do I know your mum didn't just give that man her_ peas or something else even more nasty?
So there's my moral compass, Mr. Perfect Gentleman
N’aaawwwwww do you sill Bewieve that you’re cweverer than everyone else? Anyone that doesn’t think like this clown have been brainwashed? This is as clear sign of mental illness I’ve ever seen. I’d love to beat the dog p1zz out of you so much. I have TWO passports. USA and UK, I’ll gladly come to you! Name a gym? A day? And a time. I’ll be there. But you won’t. You’re a little Tgirl who cannot stand the fact you aren’t allowed in women’s toilets. Unlucky.
All Brits know how do to is get their faces broken. No defense, You wanna fly to the states to meet me at a gym, just to get knocked out? What would that return flight be like?
Firstly this is a boxing sub. The fact you get to Trump from this article clearly shows you do suffer TDS.
It is Because Trump derangement syndrome can be the only answer. We all know it boils down to pride. In 2016 Bunch’a Bozo’s were adamant “Trump won’t win” but he did. And now you lot can’t deal with it. Bunch of self contradictory activists. I bet you don’t work, never have worked. You probably blame anything bad that happens to you on skin colour. You don’t want borders, so why do you expect people to respect the boundaries of your home? You take in zero immigrants and house them do you?
So, Please just shut up, quit crying like a baby. Let the adults handle adult stuff. Your whining is irrelevant. I was just clowning what an emotional ******* you are. You don’t even know what you believe in. Keep whipping up hysteria over ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS being deported. Illegals should never come before the people born in that nation and they defo should not be ahead of LEGAL MIGRANTS. Now run away you little soft boy.
You're probably 13. I'm not going back and forth with you. You sound slow
Gatti was a scumbag. The night he killed himself he was spotted beating that woman in public and passers-by had to attack him to pull him off of her. That's where he got the head wound that people blamed on the woman.
Stop blaming women for the actions of psychotic manbabies.
I met Gatti, and he was a real good dude, one of the coolest, nicest, realest, most down to earth people I ever met. He didn't kill himself, the Brazilian authorities said he did, but everyone knows Brazil is one of the most corrupt nations on planet Earth. And you are a scumbag, not Gatti
