    It wasn’t life and dead, went easy on Mungi.

      imo, his power was always overrated. that's the same canelo, he's just slower now. he was knocking out little guys like Khan and washed up kirkland... he hasn't KO'd anyone like that since..

        I think his upper body and head movement has declined in the past few years. The agility isn't quite there anymore. You can catch him with jabs a lot more now and push him back.

        I believe that's why he won't fight Benavidez. As the smaller man, agility is your best friend. Once that's in decline, size becomes an even bigger factor. Canelo has already acknowledged Benavidez' size is a factor, and I think the main reason he knows its a factor is simply because he's not as agile as he once was with the upper body defense and he has to stand and fight more.

        Munguia wouldn't have the skills to win 4 or 5 rounds vs the Canelo of a few years ago. But Canelo's decline in agility allowed it. Its very evident why Canelo doesn't want to fight Benavidez, it's a horrible match up for him at this point and he knows it. That's why he wants obscene money, to be compensated for a pretty much inevitable loss.
        I'm not sure Canelo would fight Benavidez even for obscene money. So far, every time he has made a demand and it was offered to be met, he has made an even more ridiculous new demand.

          Benavidez doesn`t hit that hard. And he would be countered all night long. His defense sucks.

          Canelo is good. Very good. I am not even so sure Beterbiev beats him. Not that old inactive injured version.
          Given that, Canelo shouldn't hesitate to go in there, beat the pants off Benavidez and collect another huge check to do it. After that, he should manhandle Beterbiev for another massive payday, while further elevating himself as one of the greatest Mexican champions in history. RIGHT?
