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

[Eff Pandas]

PBC said a card in March, a blackout in April, and a card in May.

Espinoza said PBC is looking for a network partner to guarantee Canelo's guarantee if you read into what exactly he was saying.

Saudis don't care about Benavidez, Charlo or anyone but Crawford.

This whole situation outside Saudi is about Canelo's escrow.

I missed the no April show news. Who said that? I just assumed they were doing monthly shows & going back & forth between PPV & free shows on Amazon. PBC starting off with two PPVs, neither anyone is likely pre-invested in (Tszyu vs Thurman is out of the blue & Canelo vs Mall isn't likely to get folks attention), ain't a great sign.

I'd assume Benavidez has a fun & entertaining style that the Saudis wouldn't mind seeing there. At this point with PBC, Samson or the WBC not trying to push for Canelo vs Benavidez the only way I see that fight happening is if Turki gets involved. So I'm rooting on them becoming Benavidez fans.

He’ll never fight Benavidez so maybe it’s Charlo or Morrell.

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.

Neither Mayweather nor Delahoya ducked their mandatories for 3 years. This is all Canelo and has never been done before. Trying to divert the topic to other fighters won't work.

Spence v bud took ages to make. Beterbiev v bivol still not happened. So why is it considered odd if Nell don't fight benavides in 2024? Benavides is new kid on block not known for that long

Learn what a mandatory challenger is before you speak on this topic.

Nobody is more deserving this fight than Benavidez period.

[JonDP]

He didn’t provide any evidence of why the fight isn’t happening. This is pretty much just the guy’s opinion.

The last 3 years is enough evidence. That's not an opinion.

[Stab Master Arson]

I'm not sure who is more terrified of Benavidez, Alvarez or his fans.

[Toprope]

Canelo is a patriot and a man of convictions, he said he won't fight any mexicans and he meant it

he could've fought that mexican chump Zurdo instead of Bivol, that would've been a very winnable and profitable fight for him, yet he said šnoš

so Benavidez and Munguia are no-noes as well. Stop bringin up their names, he won't fight them

not out of fear, lazyness or greediness. but because they're mexican

any non mexican boogiemen out there, he'll take them on

I can see Canelo challenging the Beterbiev/Bivol winner in the future

for now, he'll probably settle for Charlo, Mbili, Spence or Crawford

And duck around mandatories or #1 ranked that are Mexican. Never defend against anyone that is not 8-1 dog or 2-3 levels below. Fight everyone in the whole f'ing world except to defend those 4 SMW belts against a top SMW. Imagine boxing history if Ail, Sugar Ray, Hagler ducked black fighters. Imagine if Barrera never fought Morales. F Canelo's view and your agreement of that view. I'ts not patriotism it's bitchassness. Canelo is undefeated against fighters in his current class, why, because he doesn't fight all the top fighters in that class some who happen to be Mexican.

The funniest part is, Alvarez has already fought Mexicans. Alvarez and his fans are completely full of ****.
