Comments Thread For: Benavidez: Plant Doesn't Pose A Threat To Canelo, Has No Punching Power

[Boxingfanatic75]

he definitely is a faster combination puncher than all of them. I’m actually wondering if you’ve ever seen him fight. To call him slow is laughable. He’d smash everyone canelo has faced at 168 and other than the version of ggg from a few years ago, nobody canelo has faced would have much of a shot against him. It’s pretty clear that all you’re trying to do is talk him down because in reality, you know he’s a threat to canelo. A main reason why canelo wanted to unify at 168 was because Benavidez was out of the picture which is why he petitioned for the vacant wbc belt but never chased it when Benavidez had it. You know it’s true but to cover that, you’re gonna act as if Benavidez is lesser than these B-/C level guys canelo has fought at 168.

B/C? If Canelo has been facing B/C then Benevidez has most definitely not cracked the amateur opponent ranks. I said I like the guy and I do. However there are levels to this and Benevidez leaves himself wide open when he exchanges. An elite talent will make him pay dearly. That’s something he’s never had to worry about during his career thus far. Think it’s coincidence he hasn’t faced a power brawler? He faced mostly pure boxers.

you’re talking about him like he’s Angulo. You can talk about who he hasn’t faced but canelo hasn’t faced anyone like him either. An opponent who has size, youth, power, combination punching, a high punch output, stamina and he’s durable. He’s not gonna pack it in like these soft euros who canelo has been facing that aren’t even trying to win. You can describe him as if he’s some slow wild swinging plodder with limited skills but he’s really not.

That's racist. I'm glad Canelo is too classy to ever talk like that.

If it's racist then I didn't make it racist but he did because it's true. Also, why is he constantly beating up on the whites and why did he say that he will never fight another Mexican fighter? That's racist in and of itself. You know I am telling the truth. It's the elephant in the room. The man loves to beat up whites; Especially Euros.

You have racial hangups, dude.

Now a lot of your agendas make more sense.

I totally agree with Benavides on everything even recognizing that he doesn't need canelo to become famous because he is already and is only getting better

Plant may be a victim of his own athleticism and the fact that he may overtrain for his fights. He is also clearly a big super middleweight who could comfortably fight at light heavyweight. I do agree that plant moves too much too early, I think that’s why he faded in the late rounds with Uzcategui, but also that has to die with Uzcategui’ punching power, size, and strength. But to say plant can’t punch is silly, when he sits down on his punches he can anf his check left hook is beautiful. Does he have any more or less power proportionally than Lara, Mayweather, trout etc?

Benavidez is right. Itīs not silly to say PLant canīt punch. He can, but not in Canelo, Benavidez, league. Thatīs what he meant. Donīt forget Mexicans/Latinos have good chins, heart and resistance, which Plant does not have.

This is what I’ve always said about Benevidez! He’s too in love with his power and has holes as gaping as Swiss cheese. He hasn’t faced an elite counter puncher in his career and he leaves himself WIDE OPEN a great deal. He lunges and loops with his shots. An elite body puncher and boxer will frustrate him to no end. I like the guy but he is slow and other than his power he doesn’t pose a threat. A pure boxer with some power can beat this guy handily.

Benavidez wss the youngest champion at 168, with tremendous power and hurting his oponents badly. Slow?? Maybe, so? No "pure boxer " ( whatever that means ) can beat him unless the guy starts hugging, jabbing, and running with the referee letting him get away with it. He is undefeated and list his titles for lack of discipline, not buy defeats. Hater.

No he isn’t faster than Canelo. No he isn’t faster than Plant. No he isn’t faster than BJS. And no he isn’t better than anyone Canelo has faced. Why? Because he has yet to face anyone with a chin, anyone that can hit hard, anyone that is faster than him and anyone that has a pulse.

Benavidez has faced good oponents and with good chins, ignorant. And he has stopped most of them, you canīt KO all of them. Most fighters duck him, starting with Plant. Plant has received insults and challenges from Benavidez but doesnīt want to fight him, heīll get beat. Plant is the one who has not faced anyone good, and is just lucky to have a belt. His only good win ( on points ) was vs Uzcategui who is legit but not elite and by the way, Benavidez is fighting him next.

Benavidez is slow?

No he hasn’t and it’s help if you actually researched prior to commenting. His first 17 opponents were against no name opponents…and THAT IS FAIR…most do. Now let’s get into the names opponents.

His first named opponent of his career was his 18th
Porky Medina…no chin lost 9, 4 by KO

2nd named opponent Ronald Gavril, solid amateur and hasn’t carried into pro ranks. His first named opponent had 13 losses and he lost the fight…Benevidez is his only other named opponent and Benevidez went life and death with him in their first encounter.

3rd named opponent J’Leon Love doesn’t have a chin

4th named opponent Dirrell is probably his first true named opponent who also gave him fits until KO

5th named opponent 36 who isn’t known


So no he hasn’t faced anything of competition. The generation of “calling someone out” is tired and old. It’s like the yapping chihuahua barking at the old dog. Plant is a champion and is lining up to fight for a unification. No one has time for a twice stripped champ until he steps up in competition. No one is listening to the yapping dog.
