Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez not scared, not ducking David Benavidez, says Trevor McCumby

[Smash]

its actually a good tactic for mccrumbly to talk about famous boxers and give his opinions, now people actually know who he is

[Unidentified]

Benavidez is a two-time champ with no loses. If he wouldn’t have ate his way out of the title the second time he had it, Canelo would’ve had to come through him to be undisputed at the weight. He could’ve had his title shot a long time ago…

Now this clown mf Bernard Neequaye needs to name the other set of fighters who disagree with malignaggi and Ward etc fighters like Marco Antonio Barrera and Mike Garcia and Caleb Plant and Robert Garcia and Joel Diaz and Leonard Ellerbe who have been on record saying they know canelo not afraid of Benavidez . Don’t leave out facts to fit your narrative clown

Canelo's actions speak louder than his deceptive words, and there is an even longer list of fighters that have stated emphatically that Canelo has shamelessly ducked Benavidez.
For 4 years he's ducked his #1 mandatory challenger David Benavidez, no he's not scared of fighting Benavideez he's positively terrified of fighting him.
He can fight who he wants to fight, and when he wants to fight him, who has ever said that before in boxing? No one that's who, that type of mindset is disgraceful!
Is he going to pay himself too? He's not the king of boxing, he sounds more like the queen of boxing by not taking on the toughest challenger who has been calling him out for those 4 years.

Benavidez has already paid for not making weight, and using drugs. Just like Canelo paid for eating contaminated meat, but it didn't cost him his titles like it cost Benavidez his.
Neither violation of the rules was a life sentence, it is way past due that these two meet in the ring, forget about fighting Berlanga, Eubank Jr, or anyone else Benavidez should be your next opponent!

Exactly! Trevor McCumby is just trying to vie for an opportunity to fight Canelo himself.

[Boricua181]

A prime example of fans making excuses for fighters, no less a fighter who has a history of this.

Sounds like somebody just got tuned up!

[Boricua181]

Well actions speak louder than words. Just Judging by his actions; He is afraid of fighting David Benavidez.

He's terrified!!!

if you think fighters are super heroes without emotions thats pretty silly. you can be a great fighter but also protect yourself by not fighting guys who could possibly beat you. those things arent mutually exclusive. also you cant just ignore all the evidence of canelo ducking people throughout his career. he did that for a reason. he knows there is a good chance he loses to benavidez and that would affect how people see him, now theres a good chance he would win too but it wouldnt up his current "greatness" status by all that much so hes playing it safe and hoping wins over fringe guys will add to his greatness because in boxing if you continue winning people hop aboard the train, and often it doesnt even matter who you beat, just look at wilder. canelo has some really good wins in the bag already and is hoping to coast off of those wins. a guy like oscar is the exact opposite of canelo. he fought everyone when they were the most dangerous and he took more losses in the process(although some were dubious) but oscar never looked like a dominant fighter above 140 because the competition was so hot, looking dominant and great is more important than being great for most. if you can fool people into thinking you are great then mission accomplished, no need to risk it in the ring.

Fact's!

De La Hoya has blatantly been more disrespect than The Benavidez and he still fought Mungia.

Mungia was highly respectful to Canelo. Mungia's primary promoter is Fernando Beltran. Beltran brings in De La Hoya to help with promoting fights in the U.S.

You gotta be an idiot to think an elite top p4p boxer is scared of another man lol.

If Canelo isn't ducking Benavidez then ducking does not exist.

Boxers are human, they have the same emotions as anyone else just at a different level. The ONLY explanation for ducking David is fear. Cope.
