Comments Thread For: Benavidez Sr: Canelo Will Not Fight David, He Will Vacate WBC Title

[LAchargers373]

He wouldn't just beat him. He would stop him and Canelo know its. When the gas tank runs out he knows he will be a sitting duck. Getting stopped by another Mexican would ruin his legacy so he will never risk it.

Hahahahaha bumavidez would stop canelo based on what? You idiots acting like he’s bigger and better than bivol or Ramirez lmao. Bumavidez has 0 Defense. He hasn’t fought anyone good enough to expose him yet all he does is say canelo is duckin him while punching out bums. Pathetic

[robbyheartbaby]

Who the f*** does this kook think he is. His son just beat a washed Lemieux and he's claiming Canelo will duck him. Fight Plant beat his a** and earn your shot. Canelo ducks nobody.

If Melo don't fight benavidez you can gaurantee Melo will fight tough alternative. Can't say same for benavidez, who will benavidez fight?
What beterbiev should do is fight some tough fights and win so easy that when he gets to Nelo he is favourite to beat nelo.
Dont just wait for Nelo payday

Canelo is too smart. He wants you to fight others first and hopefully lose, then he doesn't need to worry about you.

Benavidez Sr. is more than annoying. When it comes to Canelo, he is a mendicant on his knees begging for a payday. Man show some self-respect: Stand up, throw away your begging bowl, walk like a man and help David forge his own destiny: focus on getting fights, and quit your whining. Canelo is not afraid of Benavidez, I don't agree with his stand regarding Mexican fighters these days, but it is clear that Canelo believes he represents his country and he prefers to fight non-Mexican champions and other top non-Mexican fighters and he fully understands that in that David Benavidez does not represent. Canelo was focused on being undisputed at 168 and fighting heavier champions. Benavidez had no belt to offer period.

Maybe Benavidez Sr. did not get the memo, but his son is not a Mexican. David is an American of Mexican and Ecuadorian ancestry and does not represent the country of Mexico. Similarly, Rocky Marciano was not Italian, but an American of Italian ancestry and did not represent Italy, nor was Barney Ross and Israeli and so on. But this is really about the money, more box office. Perhaps the hope is that Branding Benavidez as a Mexican fighter rather than a Mexican American or an Ecuadorian American will tap into the big Mexican Market. Good luck with that.

If Benavidez keeps winning, the fight will become to big of a fight to pass by Alvarez.

It will be another signature fight for Alvarez, that maybe he can win.

Alvarez has lost 2 signature fights. Against Mayweather Junior & Bivol.

But he has won against Golovkin etc.

“ I think he will try to vacate that belt. He will pretend to be angry and won’t take the fight with David Benavidez. I believe his fans will not be happy,“

1. We’ve seen canelo pull this in 2016 when the wbc tried to make him fight Ggg before he was ready. He vacated and pouted like a spoiled brat. 2. Where Benavidez Sr is wrong is in thinking his fans won’t be happy. Canelo fans are a cult and have defended this exact behavior before, have defended illegal substance use and terrible scorecards. They don’t give a shyt if he doesn’t fight Benavidez. Matter of fact, they’d prefer it because they know this version of Canelo who gassed vs a 40 yr old gets stopped by Benavidez and that would crush their souls to see.

[El_Mero]

Sr. Is stating the obvious

[4truth]

That the fight has not already happened is the fault of no one but David Benevidez himself. Be worried about Plant now. Secure and then win that fight, if you can.

If Benavidez keeps winning, the fight will become to big of a fight to pass by Alvarez.

Yes, so benavidez and his father need to stop whining, moaning and begging just keep fighting, and winning, as often as possible. Beat plant, beat Morrell, brat andrade if he wants it, beat Charlo if he ever steps up. Eliminate every other option at 168 so that he's the guy that canelo needs to fight. Right now canelo doesn't need him, that's the reality and it's on benavidez to change that.
