Comments Thread For: WBC Grants David Benavidez Two-Week Extension to Decide Position

[Tibburon245]

After all this delay, if Canelo fights Benavidez we hope it's a good fight and not a blowout by Canelo. David will bring it so should be interesting.

If he waits and takes a big money saudi fight vs the winner of bivol vs beterbiev it would make him more appealing to canelo. They would be equals instead of him looking like he’s begging all the time

He couldn't be appealing to Canelo if he had a Clen filled burrito hanging out of his zipper.

Tell your boy bumavidez to fight morrel Jr. The real bogeyman

I agree. Merrell is the nicest at 168
but why does he have to fight him to fight Canelo? Wouldn't you want a fresher version of Benavidez to fight Schmanelo?

Why do you call him a beggar? He has the right to fight for the WBC belt, he is the mandatory. Why you don't see who's at fault in this matter? The ginger can solve this, along with sulaiman and give him his shot, or fvking vacate.

Easier fights for the same money lol which would u take? Can’t blame canelo for getting the easy fights done first so he can maximize his earning potential. One bad loss and it’s over. Look at Devin haney.

“One bad loss and it’s all over”?

PAC has multiple losses and his earnings did not change.
Canelo lost to Floyd and Bivol and still remains the highest paid boxer.
Oscar in his prime had losses but still remained the highest earner.
Ryan Garcia will remain among the highest earners despite the loss and suspension.

So the excuse you are giving is factually incorrect.

As for easy fights, how many easy fights will Canelo have? He is hoarding the 168 belts fighting nobodies. There are other boxers struggling to make a mark and a living. We live in a world where titles bring in more money and Canelo is controlling that. It’s pretty simple … give up the belts and continue fighting bums including Logan Paul if he wants.

I actually don't view it as a duck. Canelo's been waking up in silk pajamas for a while now. He wants to cruise the rest of his career with tune-ups and showcases.

Canelo has given us so many marquee events compared to today's entitled boxers, I don't hold it against him.

I think a lot of us have forgotten what it feels like to get punched in the face.

That’s fine too but he should be honest and acknowledge to the world that he has no interest in getting beat up so he’s just doing showcase fights. There is no shame in that.

Benavidez can't beat Bivol or Beterbiev. There's that.

Actually Benavidez beat up Bivol in sparring and who's to say that Beterbiev won't hold onto the WBC belt, duck Benavidez and fight cans for another 3 years like Canelo. There's that too, namsayn.

Lol it doesn't have to be Canelo, I think I'd fancy hearing any boxer admit that.

You sincerely think Benavidez would beat Canelo? Even with the holes in his game?

I think Canelo and Reynoso would have too much for the Benavidez family. GGG 2 was the stuff of genius.

[Nightfall]

Benavidez is wasting his time. Clenelo pvssy azs will never fight him

[MusoMeanderings]

Position? How about him and Nelo try 69?
