Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez: David Benavidez Offers Nothing More Than Extra 25 Pounds

[Robi13]

So if canelo/Mexican monster ever fight, Benavidez would enjoy an advantage in height, reach, weight, speed, stamina, and youth and more then likely also hits harder with those 25 extra pounds. I don't see how that doesn't make him a favorite to win that fight. If he is the underdog with the bookies, id put money on Benavidez for the "upset"

This dude is absolutely wrecking his legacy that he created his entire career. If this keeps up I guarantee it'll be the first thing people say when his name comes up after his retirement. This is one of the more obvious cases of a fighter ducking another fighter I've ever seen and this is coming from a huge Canelo fan over the last few years. I just can't believe my guy is behaving this way.

How can you compare Canelo/Benavidez situation to Bud & Boots
Do you know how long Benavidez was Canelo Mandatory?
Do some research plz
Plus
Bud was locked into a Rematch Contract with Spence

The comparison is that Bud said he's not going to fight Boots. Just like Canelo won't fight Benavidez, because they both know it's a possible loss. Spence may have exercised his rematch clause but nothing is coming of that fight. Bud needs a dance partner.

Question
Who has Boots beaten?
I'll wait
Sooooo You think Boots can beat Bud Crawford who also could possibly fight & beat Canelo
Lololololol

This is the dude whose last supermiddleweight title defense was against a junior middleweight.

He would beat up Benavides, no doubt. The odds would be heavily in his favor. Benavides is too aggressive for his own good and he’s never been hit by anyone close to Canelo’s power and accuracy.

All these people who say he’s ducking are keeping their hopes too high.

Nice twist. Desperate but nice.

Reason Canelo is famous is because of his 25lbs+ cuts at 154.

So basically Benavidez being his earned WBC mandatory means nothing unless he gets paid 150 million to satisfy it..... noted!

yes that is exactly what it means to Saul the money the money the money...... at least he said it maybe he should go further and say his whole boxing life it is more about money and setting up future fights then anything else.....that has always been the starting point and the end game for him. If he said that point blank along with the words you quoted it would settle a lot with a lot of his detractors in the fight game. He did not say he is not concerned about a challenge in the ring but more a challenge in his pocket. And when he talks and tours before the fight it is a set up to a future fight to make future money is all....like you said "it is noted".

Didn't he just fight Charlo and he's 154 pounder!! He's scared of Benavidez
