Comments Thread For: Benavidez-Lemieux: May 21 Showtime Event Lands At Gila River Arena In Glendale, Arizona

Heck yeah I'm defo looking forward to this. Benavidez is clearly the favorite but he's also there to be hit and LeMule can ****!

How bad has lemiuex looked in his past fights? Really hoping for an upset.

Well he's been in the gym for about a month waiting for this to finalize so I'm sure he'll be in top shape come May 21st. Should be fireworks!

Exactly who else does he fight? He has called every other guy in and around the division out and it's the most logical fight to enforce a mandatory with Canelo in the future. I'd love to see him fight Charlo or Plant or preferably Canelo but they aren't agreeing to fight him right now so at least he is staying busy with somebody opposite of the ring.

It doesn't seem PBC is a good fit for him then if 2/3 fighters are in house, why can't they deliver for him? Could have gone for Jacobs, or enticed another crybaby like Andrade to fight him. David was never good and is even worse at an advanced age. I'm just saying if these guys want the Canelo fight, fighting eachother is far better than fights nobody cares about just to whine about not getting their shot after. Canelo earned his place these guys need to learn to do the same or stay quiet and fight guys like this the rest of their careers.

canelo p4p number 1 right?

That means he doesnt get to fight the lemiuex of the world.....

his standard is supposed to be the highest if he is the top dog.

And that means these guys got to earn it and beating Lemiuex does nothing. They will not fight each other and that is the problem. None of them challenging themselves, why should Canelo bother? Beni doesn't have a belt, Charlo is at 160 and has yet to make any real noise there. Wont even fight Andrade or Jacobs. Canelo is fighting a world champ at 175 in his next fight. Who is Charlo fighting? Who is Andrade fighting? And look who Beni is fighting. Come on bro!

Can only imagine what people would be saying if Canelo was the one fighting Lemieux. Yet these PBC guys tend to get a pass when it comes to garbage fights.

your logic would make sense if ylidrim, saunders, plant had to prove themselves to get a canelo fight. But they didn't. They fought bum after bum and got the canelo fight.

But when it comes to charlo, andrade, and benavidez. They dont deserve it


Dont be a hypocrite bro

Should Benavidez pass on an interim title instead?

Saunders and Plant led to a greater goal, to become UD champ he had to take those belts, Ylidrim was a mandatory to keep that goal alive. What does Charlo offer Canelo, he competes at MW and has a belt Canelo already owned. Andrade is as irrelevant as they come, paper thin resume and again competes at MW. Beni has scale issues and again a paper thin resume. Did I break that down well enough? Why wont they fight eachother? Why are you not going after them for their soft competition. You want to see the best fight the best right? Where is the outrage there?

[jonnyc420]

If he can land a bigger name, yes. Those interim belts are meaningless especially when it comes against an exposed fighter like Lemmy.

Meanwhile, Canelo is fighting an undefeated in his prime champion who is also the bigger man.
