I remember that one time Ryan Garcia said he wanted to fight Tank next on a podcast & Tank was like "let's do it" & than nothing happened.Comment

I do think that he's serious, to be honest I have no idea why he would turn down this fight. I truly believe that Benavidez style is tailor made for Charlo, but we will see what happens when they fight. Remember when GGG was fighting weak comp and we complained that he got hit too much? Well, the thing is Benavidez is fighting even weaker comp, getting hit a lot more than even GGG was, and taking longer to get those guys out of there. He's a good fighter and I'm a big fan don't hear me the wrong way. But if you look at his last fight with Ronald Ellis, Ronald was landing a lot of punches on him and he was taking Benavidez shots no problem. You know Charlo isn't gonna get hit that much and he's gonna fire back much harder.
It's a fight I do think Benavidez could win, but he's going to have to show a great chin, which maybe he does have, and have to eat 2 shots to land 1. I do think Charlo is the better boxer and hits harder though, Benavidez advantage will be his size and maybe his chin. I admit that not everyone can move up in weight and use that skill and speed to make these bigger guys look like bums the way Canelo is doing, but I also still think 168 is kinda weak and Charlo should take this.
Also, it's pretty clear that he has zero chance of getting the Canelo fight unless he fights Benavidez. It should be an easy fight to make.Comment

I'm not saying anyone is or isn't serious. I'm saying I'm getting tired of talking about fights happening & then them not happening. And my bet would be on this one not happening next either.
