Comments Thread For: Ward: Canelo's Refusal to Fight Benavidez Would Taint His Legacy

[MulaKO]

Canelo might be too much for David but I'd like to see it and Benavidez and Al are offering 60 million to find out soooooo, what's the hold up?

60 million ?
Lmfao
Where did you pull this one out from ?
Uncle Al had a hard time pulling out 35 million but you say 60
Will tomorrow be 70 ?

Canelo ain’t no Bowe
Apples and oranges
He’s got money fame and fortune
He’ll be fine
And the fact that people will talk about him for another thirty will only make him bigger

The fact that you feel the need to defend this bs, already takes away from his luster. I want you to tell me how many fighters has you seen ducking like the way he does? It's pathetic and shameful

You can continue your crusade but all your doing is advertising Canelo much more than if you didn’t say a word
And the fact that nothing is gonna change the Ben after your 45 posts in the same matter just makes me laugh and actually gives Canelo more power but I guess you don’t see it that way
Benny gonna waste away like GGG and wait for his payday
I say good riddance and hoping he doesn’t meet Gavril in a dark alley

They fought the same opponent and Canelo did better. And Benavidez was even 2 divisions bigger then Plant.

I want to see them fight but Benavidez is moving up and I can't picture him coming back down. So who will you blame then? Canelo not moving up or Ben not coming back down???

I can see why Canelo did this. Abel gonna get some 1st hand knowledge in Benavidez next fight as he is the other guys trainer....

i will blame canelo because benavidez has been #1 for years now and canelo hasnt fought him. i will blame canelo because canelo is the a-side with star power and can pick and choose literally anyone in boxing to fight and he has refused to fight benavidez. just like i said same thing with floyd and margarito. floyd fans constantly making excuses until margarito loses/leaves the division and then when that happened they said "see he wasnt that good" or "its too late now margarito missed out on his chance!" even though floyd had 3 years or so to fight him and never did.

you mean canelo is going to duck benavidez for years like he ducked ggg? are you trying to make canelo look good here? not really working bringing up things like that. ggg wasting away hmmm i wonder why oh its because canelo was ducking him! amir khan lmfao! how can you defend this guy? severe ass kissing syndrome or something? the guys a duck and a coward. what more to say? lets move on to real fighters like innoue

[sidefx996]

declining does not always = old age.... benavidez could be in a 1-2 tough fights this year til next year and that will soften him up... canelo will fight him end of 2025.

True, anything is possible. I felt Plant made Benevidez look slow and plodding earlier in their fight. There was no such problem vs Andrade though and I thought he really looked sharp. He's probably the best he's been so far right now so if one were to make the argument for avoiding him I'd suppose right now might be a good time to do it... I think it's silly to say Canelo is afraid to FIGHT him but I do feel he might be afraid of losing again. I really wanted to see him fight Bivol at 168.

[MulaKO]

you mean canelo is going to duck benavidez for years liek he ducked ggg? wow you are on fire today lmao

My point being he shouldn’t waste away waiting for that payday
Whether he avoided or ducked didn’t really change anything now did it
You can laugh maybe even cry doesn’t really change much does it
And yea lmfao and YOU should be on fire

[garfios]

Not a fan of either guy. Both have similar legacies at 168. Nothing but a bunch of Eurobums on both guys resume. Ward is a hater for sure. If they don't have the same skin as him then he's always extra critical

No they don't, ward has two 168 hof in his resume. Not even close.

[Teetotaler69]

No they don't, ward has two 168 hof in his resume. Not even close.

Yeah and both guys are eurobums. They let anybody in the hof now so it's not exactly that difficult. More of a popularity contest than what you've done in achievements

[garfios]

They all fvkcing suck. idgaf about plant or Saunders but they're literally on par with froch. Plant and Saunders could beat those bums too. Nothing but face first bums you mentioned.

Leonard never faced Pryor because they weren't in the same division. And he was busy fighting the likes of Benitez, Duran, Hearns and Kalule, by the time he finished fighting those guys, Pryor was still a 140 pounder and in rehab.
