Bivol is an easier fight for canelo than benevidez

[garfios]

They did not beat him up. Canelo was unmarked.

What is it about the marking thing? I believe ryder busted him up a little bit, did he won?

[garfios]

If Canelo fights Benavidez at this point, it would be the fight where Canelo's chin finally breaks and he looks old and gets stopped. Or he could knock Benavidez out who knows.

What is it? Does he gets knock out, or he knock out benavidez?

The only way Clenelo wins against Bivol is if he brings a ******* to the ring

[MONGOOSE66]

Thatd the only reason he wants to fight bivol.

Bivol.is a good fighter, but hes very basic. Throws the jab and straight and doesnt tey and hurt you.

Theres a reason they tried cherry picking him

Benevidez is a diff animal. He is literally a style match-up nightmare for clenelo.

Canelo - 5-7 low volume puncher, cement feet, bad stamina, one punch at a time, fights in a high guard lol

Benevidez - 6-2 , high volume, rangey, great jab and straight who knows how to fight tall, body puncher, combonations, awkard punches

If that is all true Benividas wouldn’t have to wait for a Canelo fight. He could have fought Bivol and beat him and pressured Canelo to fight him.
Benividas is a solid fighter who I think NOW can edge Canelo due to age. Old lion getting beat by young lion is an old song that constantly plays. Benividas true challenges are at 175. Theirs no one really at 168 that’s a serious threat. They’re all mediocre at best. At least Canelo had GGG. Benny has NO ONE.

No its about having a war and getting hurt. If Ryder busted him up a bit imagine Benavidez? Oh boy. He will retire Canelo.

Or he can get hurt, benavidez. The ginger is not an ATG, like his fans are claiming, but he ain't bad. Historically, he had a lot of problems with boxers. After Lara he didn't fought another one until bivol, and before Lara it was floyd, at my count he is 0-3 against technically sound boxers.

[SweetPbfAli]

Disagree. I think he wants to fight Bivol because the risk/reward is greater. If he loses again, he's too small for the weight etc. David is at his current and best weight brings nothing to the table and will likely make him work but he has everything to lose in that scenario.

My dude ryder had his hands down and was smacking the midget.

I can promise you benevidez is a different animal.

David is the WBC 168 mando...

[PRINCEKOOL]

Benavidez due to his slow feet, is there to be hit.

Canelo is a puncher. He could very well stop Benavidez. No such a chance against Bivol.

You are right on Benavidez stylistically, it is a easier fight for Alvarez to prepare for

Bivol is stylistically more difficult, because he has attributes that have always challenged Alvarerz.

Speed, Movement, Gears, Long-Mid Range game, and athleticism.

But even still? Alvarez does have a superior inside game than Bivol, and offense on the attack. And that is why I still give him a chance of beating Bivol 'If he can force the fight in this area consistently for 12 rounds'.

That in itself will require Alvarez to improve his endurance and closing speed of movement.

I have stated more on Alvarez's tactics for his rematch with Bivol at 175 pounds in past threads etc.
