Comments Thread For: Benavidez: I Feel Like I'll Get Canelo Fight Because Who Else Does He Have Left To Fight At 168?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - David Benavidez didn't dismiss Kyrone Davis entirely as they sat on a stage Thursday in Phoenix. Benavidez predicted he would extend his knockout streak to five when he faces Davis on Saturday night at Footprint Center, where the Phoenix-born Benavidez intends to put on a show for his hometown fans. When it came time to talk about potentially challenging Canelo Alvarez for super middleweight supremacy, though, Benavidez declined.

Canelo is not avoiding, he's just kinda skippin it.

This ped cheat who ate too much lost his belt twice and ruined his chances of a Canelo Payday.

Benavidez needs to know he fçked up in overeating and lost his chance on a payday.

Canelo vs Bivol @ 168 is the fight to make.

John Ryder next.

Anyone with the remotest bit of boxing knowledge knew that Benavidez was the danger man for Canelo before he even started fighting at 168. Yeah he’s been dull in loosing it on the scales but that was largely due to lockdown restrictions and him not being able to access a gym and isolate for a week prior to the fight. That hasn’t changed his skill level. That’s the same. He’s still the danger man in the division. Making a host of excuses as to why Canelo shouldn’t fight him just deprives the world of what should be a genuine challenge for Canelo probably more so than Bivol and perhaps even an ageing Beterbiev. I for one want to see him fight Benavidez more than either of those two. The infrequency with which Canelo or his team mention his name to me just reinforces my view that it’s a fight they’d rather avoid if they can and suggests they know he’s one of the toughest fights out there.

I think he’ll get the fight for one reason - when Canelo fought Floyd it was on Floyd’s terms. Floyd chose to fight him early in Canelo’s career and forced a catch weight. That gave Floyd the edge in experience, meant Canelo wasn’t at his peak and was slightly weight drained. The boot is on the other foot now with Benavidez. Canelo is the one with the experience but not the age. The longer he leaves it the better Benavidez is likely to get, the bigger he may be as he won’t have any issue following Canelo up to 175 if that’s where he goes.

And PED cheat, seriously!! He got busted for snorting coke. It’s hardly a PED even if it is banned for those reasons. Again, ****** yes, but realistically do you reckon he was just partying it up on the town or doing it to gain a competitive advantage in the ring. Easy to write mindless trolling crap without thinking.

David is right.
Fight him, hes the only guy left at 168 that could cause an upset.
Either David,Charlo or my preferred is GGG if he gets past Murata.
