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

[pretty ste]

Benavidez, Sr may be onto something here. Which is probably the main reason why we will never see Canelo fight his son.

What he into is the ******* fool he needs to start teaching his son how to move his head if he wants to beat canelo

Canelo's body looked flat. I think once u start using things like Clenbuterol, and then u stop, the body never really achieves peak fitness again, it will always want the steroids, and ur energy will drop to levels lower than it was b4 u ever put the steroids in ur body. Its better to do what u can without drugs and leave all that kinda BS alone.

You sound like a hater

[pretty ste]

Benavidez didn't look great against Plant either. Canelo did better against Plant than David did.

The people in Guadalajara were actually very happy. Of course, Canelo has been fighting for quite a long time, and is an older young guy. He's still one of the best though.

Is his haters bro that are unhappy they just don't like canelo and when he beats benavidez because he will they have to keep that same energy

[QUOTE=El_Mero;n31848395]I heard no lies. And after Saul gets beat again, hopefully this time at 168, hes definitely not gonna be the same.
i keep saying Saul should give up this rematch and fight Benavidez in September. He'll actually be favored over David. But if he insists on gettin taken to school again by Bivol, the Benavodez fight next may will be closer to benavidez taylor made for canelo dude is the most overrated fighter In the last couple years went twelve with someone canelo stopped keep feeding yourself lies fool

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.

Well, he lost to GGG 6 years ago, so was he in his prime than? Was he in his prime against Floyd and Lara?

[tkoboxingscene]

Wtf The ring size has to do with benavidez learning how to cut the ring off you dumb **** canelo would smoke that coke head than you said the ref was the problem cmon now stop the cap he ain't killer like you casuals proclaimed him to be

You're whore mother is dumb for not aborting a ****** POS like you properly. Canelo stipulated a much smaller ring size so that he could cut of the ring easier because he is flat-footed and has poor stamina, you dunce... and it's "then" not "than" you illiterate **** stain. Learn how to spell and construct sentences, so you can get your points across more intelligently. The ref literally let Plant hug and kept stopping and resetting the fighters when ever Benavides was trying to put in work.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It seems to me Canelo is in his prime only when he fights Callum Smith, 40 old GGG or Plant.

When he fights Floyd, Bivol, 35-36 old GGG or Lara, he is too young or over the hill.

[rickJen]

Benavidez and Morrell needs to start their negotiations now, ASAP.
Canelo is done. Seems silly focusing on him.

He doesn't need to because Benavidez has exceptional footwork for a Super middleweight.
