Comments Thread For: Canelo Open To Fighting Benavidez: 'David Had Good Performance vs. Plant'

[Rebelrbg]

LMAO!!!! U really think Benavidez is going to fight anyone close to as good as him next? Heck NO! Not woth a fight with Canelo looming. He's gonna do what everyone else has been doing around Canelo's weight class. Fight Wal-Mart stockers and wait for Canelo Golden Ticket.

Goes for Andrade and Morrell as well.

He's already been Cinnabon's mandatory for the last 2 fights before this one, and he STILL took the Plant fight. You're not making sense.

Fam, did you see this:

Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Eimantas Stanionis 147-pound bout postponed

The welterweight fight between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Eimantas Stanionis, scheduled for April 29 in Arlington, Texas, has been postponed after Ortiz was forced to withdraw due to a recurrence of rhabdomyolysis, Golden Boy Promotions announced on Wednesday.

"Vergil works tirelessly to prepare for his fights and this is of course a huge disappointment for Golden Boy, him and his family," said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya in a statement. "Despite this setback, I truly believe Vergil remains focused and will accomplish his goal of becoming a world champion this year and going on to become the top welterweight in the division."

I hope they go ahead and make Ennis vs. Stanionis!!!

Canelo won't face Benavidez until he's out of easier/better options, and until he's about to call it a day.....

Canelo will only face Benavidez if Benavidez is still winning and Canelo is forced into a corner. Benavidez is not an easy fight for Canelo, at all.

[Lefty0616]

I don’t get the duck talk. He already took the harder fight with Bivol at 175. I don’t see anyone at 168 beating him right now.

It's not a harder fight if there is room for an excuse if there is a loss. It would be easier to say, "I lost against a bigger man in a bigger weight class". It's hard to say, "I lost to someone in my same weight class".

Old news

All I saw was "illness." Didn't know it Rhabdo...again! Kid might want to move to 154 b4 he's on dialysis at 40!

This ******* is so shady. Talks out of his ass so much. Your goal this year is the same as every year. Fight tomato cans and lose to Bivol. Maybe get a few gifts on the way.

[Boxing Scene]

Only 1 boxer in this entire thread is a 2 time proven convicted fkn cheater. And we all know who that is.

Canelo and his team must of seen something they can exploit in Benavidez’s armour
Not sure it’ll happen , I still think Canelo will retire after his 2/3 fight lineup and that would not be a bad thing since we would get the division wide open instead of these fighters putting themselves on hold for a Canelo fight
They’re would be no more excuses for the Charlo , Andrade , Benavidez etc etc etc

Most likely. I saw a lot of flaws in him; exploits if you will.

But I really don't think anyone in this boxing landscape than exploit them.

Someone like Andre Ward of the super 6 would've beat him handedly.

I think Canelo can beat him as long as he’s doesn’t gas out
Not big on Canelo but Benavidez has shown fugh all
Look at what Plant did in the first half of fight ( take away the clinching ) , if only he had power
