Comments Thread For: Benavidez: I Don't Think I've Done Enough To Make It On P4P List; But I Will Definitely Get There

A man who talks the talk AND walks the walk. P4P list or not list we know he is the TRUTH.

I remember going to AZ for other reasons and stopping by central boxing club on 18th and van buren. I saw a young jose when he was around 140lbs. I probably saw david but didnt know who he was. Back then, they had a southpaw at 168 who was a hard puncher. I forget his name but he was in the gym that day. Anyway, david has to be on any p4p list. I had him there every since i saw how he beat the sh..t outta J'Leon Love and Porky Medina. It was like their head was in a blender. P4p is subjective but I always knew he was no joke and was a much avoided guy. I'll always remember Floyd and Ellerbe's faces after he touched up J'Leon. It looked like they were sucking on a sh...t turd. A sick, sour look that was priceless lol

Unfortunately Canelo probably won't fight Benavidez but there are some intriguing guys out there. Beterbiev claims he will fight him at 175. Would love to see it!

If Canelo stays active, this fight will happen. It has been earned and I do not see a reason why at this point it is avoided. It has become a real big money event.

Unfortunately the fear by Canelo to lose all his belts at once is probably a big factor to this fight not necessarily a guarantee to happen soon.

To clarify, it is not that Canelo fearing fighting Benavidez in general, but the fact of doing it at 168. Canelo already knows another loss or two itself isn't going to hurt him paycheck wise...as long as it is in 175 or catchweight and he still has the 168 undisputed status. However, the risk factor from the possibility of losing all that to Benavidez at 168 is too high IMO. If Benavidez suddenly decides to go up to 175 and defeats Beterbiev or Bivol then calls for a Canelo fight at 175, I can see it happening in a heart beat. If Canelo wins, he further adds to his legacy. If he loses, he doesn't actually lose that much as he still has undisputed 168.

If canelo doesn't want smoke, fight and beat morell who is avoided, or move up and beat bivol and beterbiev, and he might be in top 10.
