Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo on David Benavidez: He's Not a Real 168-Pounder, Needs to Fight at Cruiserweight

[DaNeutral.]

What's the difference between Jermall not wanting smoke with Benavidez, and Canelo not wanting smoke with Benavidez? I don't see any difference. Both on some "Duck ****!"

How is Canelo ducking Benavidez? He has chosen to fight a bigger, in some ppls opinion better world champion, also followed by a rematch with the guy who gave him his toughest fights in years...He can't fight them all at the same time, It ain't no duck.

It can’t be both ways.

If not fighting is a duck for one boxer, it’s duck for another.

I just don’t understand why there is an attempt to differentiate.

Maybe what we need to do is stop this ducking talk like we’re all idiots or children and discuss this like men. Its business.

Canelo is waiting to business with charlo and Benavidez because he can make damn near $100 mil with DAZN for fights that are very winnable.

Once he’s done he will do business with Charlo and Benavidez for another $100 mil.

So are you saying Charlo ISNT ducking Benavidez and neither is Canelo?

Bivol is not the threat that Benavidez is! GGG is not the same fighter, ask Derevyanchenko! Yeah, Benavidez lost his title at the scales, but inside the ring, he's a better fighter!

I’m saying at this point it’s business and let’s talk about it like that.

Bivol would slaughter Benavidez.

I doubt it, and especially not @168! Seems a lot folks talk s**t, but don't want to get in the ring with Benavidez! Canelo included!

Well while Canelo is taking care of his busy year, Benavidez should fight Beterbiev for the 175 belt before May 2023. Canelo's 3rd fight in December will likely be a tune up on DAZN. Benavidez needs to step it up already, fight Beterbiev, get that belt and call Canelo's bluff about unifying the 175 division.

Benavidez needs to beat Lemieux, and then force Canelo to fight, or vacate the title @ 168! He needs a title @ 168, in order to jump to a title fight @ 175! Right now Canelo is in his way!

Like I said Canelo is busy this year. Plus it's likely he'll only go down in weight one more time for GGG. And the rumored fight in December will likely be a tuneup, not a May/Sept super fight.

Benavidez struggles to make 168. Beterbiev has a 175 belt and should beat Joe Smith for the other 175 belt. Benavidez would hold all the cards if he beats Beterbiev and gets the belts and calls Canelo's bluff on unifying 175.

Benavidez needs to make boss moves, not fight fighters like Lemiux and cry why he's not getting a shot at Canelo.

What, don't you have confidence in Benavidez beating Beterbiev?

Benavidez has to beat Lemieux, and then get the WBC title, so he can go to 175 straight to a title fight! He can't do that with Canelo holding the WBC title @ 168! So hopefully Canelo will either MAN UP and fight Benavidez @ 168, or VACATE the WBC title @ 168! Let's see which path Canelo takes? Fight or Vacate!
