Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Chooses to Remain Mandatory for Canelo Alvarez

[rrayvez]

Morrel Jr. Stop ducking him. The real best at 168. Your hero bumavidez could barely hang with a washed up 40 year old inactive gyodzyk. Canelo will do fine against bumavidez it’s hilarious all the people act like David is some big bad bogey monster lmao

Wtf is a bogey monster? Lmaooo. You Canelo fans have no shame. Canelo has the most pathetic list of title defenses since becoming undisputed against a fairly weak group of champions. The only ducking going on is with canelo. Benavidez has made himself the clear top option for canelo in terms of being the most credible boxer he can face and the one that will make him the most money. So why is he running from the fight ? The answer is simple, he’s scared to take the risk. He’d prefer to fool his cult fan base with low level opponents, and people with no integrity as boxing fans such as yourself will defend it.

Ok then Team Benavidez,but no effen excuses when you get smoked .

Canelo couldn't smoke John Ryder...

[fistandfury]

It's a good move for him, now he can continue his why not me campaign, and make money off of it. Truth be told, he needs to fight DM, that will sell, he will make money.
THEN, he will deserve a Canelo fight, in the meantime, he doesn't have to fight the real lions in Bivol and AB, and can still carry that "Monster" moniker.

Well Mate, in my view an Excellent move on the part of Benavides. He logically cannot make a move at 175 since Bivol and Beterbiev are tentatively penciled in for October and a rematch is already in the cards. No need to sit idle. By taking this route it puts more pressure on the obviously Reluctant( Nice terminology for the thin skinned, easily triggered, emotional Canelo contingency) but for REAL HARD-corefans of THE SPORT( plain street terms) - COWARD Canelo, to become a man and finally fight Benavides. Now that we know that Benavides was indeed not 100 percent ( however it's my belief that even at 100 percent he still loses to Bivol) for this recent bout this should quiet the ones who are slagging him off by saying he's making excuses. But it won't because people NEED A NARRATIVE when they have agendas and biases. One narrative making the rounds is that Benavides will get smoked by Canelo. Of course just on the face of that it says these people know NOTHING at all about BOXING. These are the lower tier trolls who definitely have no knowledge of boxing even from a general sense. The other narrative is that Benavides is begging Canelo for a fight. These are the DRAMA QUEENS Who absolutely know nothing about boxing and just rather prefer to engage in this middle aged spinster women type soap opera trolling because that type of foolishness seems to be envogue with American Boys these days. Never mind the fact that Benavides is Canelos mandatory going on 3 years running now. All that being said, I have zero interest in seeing Canelo vs Crawford because as good as Crawford is, he's just too small to endure a 12 round bout against someone who has been campaigning at 168 for a good spell now. Im not interested in seeing Canelo fight as is his M.O., another small guy up in age, jumping 3 weight classes.Its funny People like to refer to Benavides as a weight bully but in truth That is what Canelo has been doing throughout the course of his career. It will be interesting to see what web the WBC will weave in regards to this decision by Benavides. Will they continue to run interference for Canelo or will they finally demonstrate some actual Integrity and make Canelo put up or shut up . I won't hold my breath on this one.

How is he begging? He has earned the right to fight him and for his crack at the title. Canelo needs to either grow a pair of ballz and fight the man or vacate the title. Everyone can see he is afraid of Benavidez because it's just excuse after excuse after excuse at this point. No doubt within the next 3-4 weeks there'll be yet another fresh excuse generated by that shook clown.

You're wasting your time explaining anything Boxing with this guy
He's a Canelo Fanboy
Just like his Idol Canelo He'll give you excuse after excuse why the fight shouldn't happen
Then "lmao" at his his own comment
The Canelo Fans claim Benavidez isn't worth the fight and Canelo isn't ducking him
But yet they can't explain yet Why Canelo wants $200M just to fight him
Doesn't make sense..........

I’m not a canelo fan I don’t think he’s that great. I respect his career tho. He has the best resume in the sport despite some opportunistic bouts. I watched bumavidez since he was 17 and he’s always been severely overated by his dumba$$ fans. Before the gvodzyk fight he went on and on about forging his own path making his own name in the sport and not chasing canelo anymore and moving up win a belt at LHW and force a showdown. Then washed up 40 year gvodzyk who’s been garbage since his return gives him a tough fight and he immediately changes his tune. Right back to begging canelo. Dude would get wiped out by bivol or beterbiev and a couple others at 175 and he won’t go near morrel Jr at 168. Str8 up fraud.

Benevidez is twice the size of canelo he will be favoured to win if they fight. Lil monstro ain’t all you think he is

- Too late, David.
- Alvarez is fighting his IBF mandatory who no one has ever heard of.........

If the canelo fight doesn't happen he should go after Bivol/Betterbieve winner.

Bivol isnt nearly as big and powerful as Gvozdyk and like Gvozdyk Benavidez already put a beating on Bivol in sparring. Betterbieve would be just as big and strong as Gvozdyk but he's old his days are numbered. Benavidez would steam roll him.

I AGREE with you in so far as Seeing Benavides taking Beterbiev. Beterbiev is getting up there in age and the constant injuries and postponements, just don't do an aging fighter any good. However I do feel that Stylistically Bivol beats Benavides by decision because he's too technically sound. Of course Bivol is no spring chicken himself but he's still on the GOOD side of his 30s and he is in really good shape and hasn't taken any beatings that would put mileage on him. It's boxing and anything is possible at this level of talent. I would like to see that and I commend Benavides for wanting to go into the lions den and take on the cream of the crop. Appreciate your comment
