Comments Thread For: Canelo on Benavidez: They Said the Same Thing About Golovkin; He's a Good Fighter, But I'm Great

[Sid-Knee]

You don't understand the sport if you genuinely believe Lara beat Canelo. Go watch it back. GGG should be 2-1 against Canelo though. Canelo isn't unbeatable, but he has challenged himself more than any other active fighter in the sport.

Canelo only landed body shots against Lara. And not too many of them either. Yes, Lara should have stood his ground a bit more and had a higher activity but, he still clearly won the fight.

At least you're honest with the first and second Golovkin fights.

Well...that doesn't make sense because you'd get hit a lot by both.

It makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty sure Benavidez is the most accurate puncher in his division and he throws more volumes of punches. I'd rather get hit less, regardless of who hits harder than the other. I'll take a snow storm over a massive blizzard of everything coming at once.

No, it didn't make sense. I get what you're saying to an extent, but you aren't getting hit only once with a bat, hypothetically speaking. Golovkin will hit you a lot. And a younger/prime Golovkin was landing 40%-50% of his power shots against multiple opponents, not to mention his jab and also his high output. Combine that with literally bone breaking power, don't know if that's someone I'd prefer to get in the ring with.

Fighters who were fully trained, no draining, prime or close to, not smaller, not shot, been out of the ring too long etc etc..

List every world class victory you think he has and we'll go through it. It isn't going to look pretty though. His whole career has been built on this.

Good grief. Well, how about we do that with every champion or fighter you regard as elite? If you are inclined, which you certainly are, you will find some way to discredit every fighter's career who you don't like. Name me an active fighter with a more impressive resume than Canelo.

What I said makes a ton of sense! GGG knocked guys out, he executes them. Benavidez rains on them, beats them down, busts them up whether a shorter period of time or a longer one and finally stops them! You're forgetting, it's not about the powershot percentages, it's how long a beating is dragged out. No way in hell would I prefer what Benavidez does to opponents over GGG. I'd rather be knocked out early than to take a sustained beating!

Did Golovkin steal your momma's ana1 ******ity or something?

Aw
A GGGroupie coming to his hero's defense
How cute

Benavidez avg power connect is 45% one of the highest in the sport. He is better than prime GGG in almost every way, much bigger and faster much more dynamic offense.

Did you look at his list of opponents and realise it's all true? Why else would you deflect and refuse to list the supposed world class fighters he fought without circumstances attached?

If Canelo had such a great resume, you'd have no problem telling me what that resume supposedly is. Clearly it's as poor as it looks when not being a fanatic about him.

Loads of fighters out there who are still active who have a better resume. What are yo talking about? Stop spreading the narrative that's coming from nationalists.

Taylor- Prograis, Ramirez, Postal.

Usyk- AJ x2, Breidas, Chisora, Bellew, Gassiev, Huck, Glowacki.

AJ- Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz, Wlad, Whyte.

Gonzalez- Estrada x3, Martinez, Yafai, Cuadras, Viloria, Sosa, Yaegashi etc etc..

Unfortunately, Canelo won't be able to wait until Benavidez is 200 to fight him. I like Canelo and think he's a great, great fighter, but Benavidez presents a bad style match-up for Canelo. Canelo should avoid him like the plague.

David has no defense. Canelo will run through him
