    He needs to do something drastic if he wants to surpass the likes of Marquez and Morales.

    Canelo isn’t a Mexican great.

      I have a feeling Canelo is gonna fight Crawford in May. Possibly Mungia. I cannot see him fighting Beneviedez. Too much risk

        We have never seen Canelo hurt, except for Cotto's brother at the lighter weights, and everyone gets hurt trying to squeeze down into a weight they don't belong in. Benavidez has never faced an elite puncher and Canelo has, so I am leaning toward Canelo if this fight comes to fruition.

          Canelo will break him easily ... but good choice for both fighters

He lost two fights to his only truly great rival, GGG, given gift cards on both of them, and everyone knows it. Floyd past his prime made him look like an amateur. Bivol kicked his ass well, and the judges still tried to gift it to him.

            He fought and beat some good fighters, most if not all past their primes and cherry picked. Benavidez will F him up.

            He goes down in history as a top guy in his generation. Not all time. Mostly hype.
            I'm here to collect those salty tears.

              You are correct here

              Hes got form for this

              he even dropped his belt for ggg which is even worse, embarrassing even

              its the opposite of fighting guys who are dangerous and prime and going very well

              benny is a been seen as some type of monster by some, will canelo be scared away again or will he step up and make the fight that should be made

                  He is in contract with PBC, so he's definitely not fighting Munguia. He will fight and beat Benavidez in May. There is no doubt about this.

                      Canelo couldn't knock out an older GGG, so he definitely cant k.o. David
