      I felt GGG Vs. Canelo was a Great rivalry with 2 clasic fights. Could of done with the 3rd much earlier or not at all.

        That piece on Cotto's career was very good. It's also a very interesting comparison how Cotto took on the younger and naturally larger fighter in Canelo yet Canelo seems to be avoiding a fight with Benavidez who is similarly younger and larger than him.

          To be fair the guys Cotto fought didn't lose their belts from being fat and getting caught with drugs in their system.

            That's fair criticism of Benavidez, I've mentioned too, but still he's earned his shot at the titles. It would've been interesting to see if Canelo would have even bothered to go for undisputed at 168 if David didn't act ****** getting stripped and was still a title holder when Canelo began going for the titles at supermiddle.

              That's a very good qustion? I do know if Benavidez beats Plant and looks good doing it that is going to put a LOT of pressure on Canelo to fight him. And if he loses to Bivol again where does he go? Can't do 175 and not get more loses. Can't move to 160.

              I think they fight on Cinco De Mayo 2024. If Bivol beats him and Benavidez beats Plant better than Canelo did.

              I don't think for 1 minute Canelo afraid.

                I agree that Canelo is not afraid of Benavidez, I'm just surprised he didn't fight him earlier. I think the longer it takes for the fight to happen the more it benefits Benavidez.

                  100% agree with you. Benvidez is getting better and better...

                    That’s a baseless criticism in my opinion.

                    Canelo just fought the naturally bigger Bivol who is about the same age as him.

                    And he’s going to fight him again.
