Is David Benavidez Better Than People Give Him Credit For

[JakeTheBoxer]

too big

david will soon be at light heavyweight

maybe even cruiserweight to finish his career

Bivol beats him 12-0 in rounds, Beterbiev finishes him.

benavidez will keep on crying why is Canelo not fighting him.

I think Ben would do better against Bivol than either Alvarez or Beter

It’s atg if Bivol goes through all of these

Alvarez
Beter
Bena
Opetaia

[elfag]

well he beats everyone at 168, so for that he is good, but also he makes huge weight cuts, so put him at 175 where he belongs and i think he looks more ordinary.

bivol would be a good fight for him, bivol doesnt have big power so it would be interesting can david use pressure to over come him? i think bivols movement is too good and his workrate/stamina is very high himself, but it would be interesting to see how much david can take from him

I think Benavidez has nothing for Bivol, it would be only a good pay day.

Bena can box with his jab and fast hands

If Bivol believes in clinching, his night would be so much easier VS Bena

Bivol defence high guard

doesnt move his head much

I haven’t watched it yet but Ben did go life and death with that Romanian

what I think happens

Alvarez and Ben have a trilogy

by the time Ben goes to 175

Bivol will be at cruiserweight and has beat Opetaia

[_Jordan_]

Yeah. He's the obvious rival for Benavidez since Canelo can't be bothered to fight actual super middleweights and defend against his mandatories.

Yeah, and easy fight to do since they are both PBC fighters

[crimsonfalcon07]

You'd think so...

But both Benavidez' trainer and dad both said they'd signed a contract to fight Morrell last year, and then ended up walking it back and Benavidez ended up fighting Andrade instead.

PBC fighters are very inactive and don't fight each other, let alone fighters from a rival promoter. They're not called the Protected Boxers Club for nothing...

[Oracle01]

Yes.

Does that mean he beats everybody? No. That always has to be proven in the ring like any other fighter but he is a fighter that you do not steer your fighter towards especially now that he seems to be taking things seriously outside of the ring in regards to staying in boxing shape.

He is an offensive minded big pressure fighter with exceptionally quick hands, good reflexes, strong high guard, strong jab, good inside/clinch fighting, good cardio, high work rate and so far seems durable.

Anybody can pick holes in anyone and point out negatives against someone but you also have to look at what someone does good to see how you match up against them. Any competent trainer or fighter will tell you that he is not the typical pressure fighter

Good to see someone who understands boxing. David is an exceptional package. He can box, brawl, fight outside and is exceptional at mid range and inside with the way he manages to get such great leverage with his long arms. People who don't understand boxing think he is just a basic pressure fighter when he is more of an educated measured pressure fighter.

Fighters of his size with power are usually slow but he is fast. Fast fighters usually lack power, but he has power. Power punchers often lack out put and cardio but he has both in spades. There is a reason why Canelo wants no business with him, and I suspect Bivol also. He is still very underrated.

I thought Ben was your typical Mexican pressure fighter

but seeing 30 seconds of him convinced me otherwise

he has fast jab that he can box with

I see Ben and Alvarez having trilogy
