Comments Thread For: Promoter confirms Benavidez is not in Canelo's 2024 plans

[Elastic Recoilz]

I’m a fan of the “boxing” not the boxers like so many girls in here. Canelo is DONE. Anyone saying otherwise is selling something or oblivious.

Canelo isn't done he is just mostly one dimensional with an inability to adapt in fights when things are not going his way - and its becoming more apparent with every fight he takes, especially against good opposition. He also has appalling stamina levels (when not on PEDs)... Throw that all together and it gives the illusion of a fighter on the slide, when the reality is Canelo is not, and never has been an elite fighter. whenever he fought somebody good he lost (Lara, GGG x2, Mayweather and Bivol)

[Stab Master Arson]

No sheeit? Didn’t know that. Reread what I wrote and explain to me how your answer clarifies anything?

Why don't you explain why Benavidez should ignore the guy he's the mandatory for and chase guys in a different division, dummy. Guys who are fighting each other next.

Canelo will never grow as a fighter if he doesn't take on the best. He likes to fight guys that fit within his skill set. He will not fight Benavidez, Beterbiev, Morrell, Munguia or any fighter that will give him a challenge or fight back. He is turning into a modern day "Money" Mayweather. He is just fighting guys he can beat to make the most money possible without incurring the most harm to his body. De La Hoya and Mayweather created this monster. De La Hoya by being his promoter and Mayweather by doing the same thing now that Canelo is copying. Fighting guys past their primes.

At this point I have very low expectations for Canelo.

I think he would fight Munguia from those fighters you mentioned, with the rest he gets KOed

Why chase an OLD MAN? Who does he think he is, Tank?

Stop being a Canelo diq rider man... Beterbiev has had over 300 amateur fights (including boxing at 2 Olympics), is 39 years old and is still absolutely destroying all the contenders in his division. He has also now signed to face the remaining best fighter as he approaches his 40th birthday.

Canelo is not an old man - far from it. Granted, he does like to beat up on old men (or smaller fighters for that matter) but it really sounds like you're trying to defend the un-defendable here.

D!ck rider? You got me confused with the rest of your sisters on here. I’m a fan of the sweet science NOT fighters. All you supposed men have crushes on boxers. I don’t. Canelo is washed up and is already doing his farewell tour with a bunch of hasbeens. Hes past his prime and should just retire.

I'm genuinely intrigued here. what have you seen in Canelo's fights which has led you to the conclusion that he is "washed up"? Since getting outclassed by Bivol and then not being able to get rid of a near 41 year old GGG (due to Golovkin's high IQ and distance control) his fights with Ryder and Jermell Charlo have followed a similar path to many of his other fights where he might dominate but ultimately is not able to get a stoppage. Canelo only KOs or looks good against chit fighters or those who are old - nothing has changed.

Watch his fights at 23-30, then 30 to now and you tell me the difference.

[MulaKO]

Canelo would get destroyed by the two B’s or actually the four B’s lol
He’s done like burnt toast
Need not look further than his last crop of competition
If he wasn’t done then he would of already signed up to fight all the guys you people keep mentioning
The contract he signed , with Azteca tv , is bullchit , there’s no way in hell he’s sticking around another five years and if he does his record will resemble Jones Jr with multiple losses which should have not happened
This whether he was good or is good , irrelevant , he’s done imo

His style has changed, that is all, he is not shot... Before the Rocky Fielding fight when he fought at 154-160lbs he was more of a counter puncher/combination style fighter. Ever since the Rocky Fielding fight (his first at 168lbs where he was only 28 incidentally) he has tried to mould himself into a pressure fighter whilst loading up with every shot. Everything is thrown with power and if he can't penetrate a guard he starts hitting arms and shoulders... That style gets rid of the Yildrim's and Plant's of this world but not fighters with elite footwork like Bivol or strong, high output fighters like Benavidez and Canelo knows this!

Also during that 23-30 period how many times was Canelo fighting opponents who weighed significantly less than him or who were older than him? He also should've been allocated 4 losses in that period lets be real here.
