    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.

      He looks vulnerable at 175 with his performance. Suddenly, fans are hating. Yet, Canelo still does not want to fight him?

      Maybe it's a lure to try to get the Canelo fight at 168? Haha.​

          So much for injuries affecting his performance, if it’s only a two week rest.
          Benavidez is just not strong enough for 175, he’s got low muscle mass. Plus he completely gassed out. He thought he could get the KO in the first few rounds but he found out his power is not all that if he’s not fighting the smaller guy, as he had always done.

            The criticism for Canelo is fair, but still, I think he would beat Benavidez, and easier than expected.

              Not at all. Alvared mentally quits when things aren't going his way. Against Benavidez he will get hit more and harder than he did in the Bivol fight. He knows this which is why he's thrown every excuse to duck out there. The lame ass $200 million did it for me

                  I think the hand thing is gamesmanship on the Benny's part. I think he purposely picked Gvosdyk because it's Canela's sparring partner and he went out to look vulnerable.

                  Everyone whining about him "chasing" Canela conveniently forgets that's he's been his mando for over two years. If DB gets the fight he's set for life; if he WINS the fight, his kids are set for life.

                    So he avoided Morrell at 168, went to 175, Morrell went to 175, now he wants to go back to 168 so he can have a size advantage and avoid facing Morrell.

                    nasty work
