Comments Thread For: Benavidez Sr: This is Not The Same Canelo From Four Fights Ago

[champion4ever]

Canelo, as with any fighter, peaks around age 27 and plateaus to approximately age 32. The decline is inevitable, but with top level fighters there are slight adjustments that offset the decline. Canelo's hand speed is still intact, but he throws less combinations - still, his power punches, especially the right hand remain effective and his body shots hit the mark. His foot work remains, yet soon he will be a 'half-a-step slow' which will effect his defensive style, but can be offset, especially considering his mode of fighting.. He does tend to gas out near the end, but wills himself to finish - which could be offset by a slight reduction in weight.

One imagines he will retire within a year or two, though he claims to be set upon continuing until his mid to late 30s. There is no reason to continue that long, as he has earned loads of cash and there is no need for purely 'money fights'.

As for Benavidez. His father his a carnival barker who edges towards hysteria. He's a blowhard, who seems to want the big money fight more so than his son.

Canelo owes no one. He is a boxer and businessman and has done well over his career. He will retire with wealth Benavidez can only dream of and Benavidez will never be considered Canelo's equal in terms of draw or popularity.

Benavidez is 26 years old and has never had a marquee fight and unless Canelo names him as an opponent, he never will. Benavidez is a methodical fighter with a modicum of talent, which ranks him as very good but not elite. GGG, even in his declining years, would have beaten Benavidez into a lump of raw meat. Bivol would KO Benavidez. If Benavidez fought at his natural weight he would be a second tier fighter and never gain a title.

Those who continually harp on Benavidez as the ultimate challenge for Canelo are delusional. Benavidez is tailor-made for Canelo, Benavidez's 'style' is a perfect match for Canelo to dis-assemble and then put Benavidez down.

What are you afraid of Canelo losing homes; Which is the reason why he will never fight David Benavidez?

You sound like a hater

Look jizz eater, I'm just saying Canelo used Clenbuterol. That is simply a fact. I'm also saying that once u juice, just like any other drug, it changes ur body chemistry. That is also a fact. And when u stop juicing, the body will perform at a lower level than its supposed to, because juice messes u up. So kids out there should know that juicing isn't the way to go. How is that a hater? U drink jizz by the bucket full

Still batters the crap out of your sloppy son.
