Comments Thread For: No waiting: David Benavidez to face Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol winner

[Knuckle sandwich]

Really like Benavidez. Unless Artur ages alot between now and then, no one beats him. Really have to respect Benavidez, he is trying to fight the best.

Unreal that anyone defends Canelo at this point. He straight up ducked David for years. Canelo tried to cherry pick a belt against Bivol and got f'ed up.

Can't imagine anyone buying Canelo fights at this point. He fights joke fights.

Seems to me benavidez and his team were shooting their mouths off about canelo this and that for years, now looks like canelo has punished him

A man who has pride would have done the punishing in the ring.

A man with humility wouldn't have shot his mouth off

canelo is a disgrace to humanity

A disgrace to all species. A lion can't claim to be the King if he's only willing to fight hyenas. All animals are embarrassed by how a big a duck Canelo is, even the ducks.

[garfios]

He made the right choice

The choice was made for him

What does this even mean? Benavidez was his mandatory for a long time. He said he wanted the fight. Canelo kept ducking him and Benavidez said it was obvious.

So Canelo gets a pass for blatantly ducking a guy who likely beats him up, because David didn't have "humility". So you are saying if David had kissed Canelo's ass like these other guys, Canelo would have fought him? Lol. No, he wouldn't have. Benavidez was by far the biggest money fight for Canelo, the fight all the fans want to see, and it is a legacy fight.


If this is really how Canelo fans think, boxing is truly dead. If all that matters is paydays, the sport is over. I can't fathom that anyone who loves the sport thinks this way. Or do you love Canelo and his arrogant cherry picking? I guess it isn't about beating the best, a mandatory for God's sake....I guess you keep an eye on Canelo's net worth and get excited about it?

Boxing's a business. You play the game.

Where David messed up was thinking the WBC would back him after Canelo blatantly showed them whose running the show. And now, here he is. Forced to move up for lack of better options.

For all the hooting and hollering Khan did, he never struck the Mayweather lottery, yet Maidana, who I don't even think speaks English, did twice, and never stepped foot in a ring again.

Benavidez should use this whole experience as a lesson to not burn your bridges and be more respectful to someone clearly in position to call the shots.

No more *******, no more missing weight, no badmouthing people who you need more than they need you.

Really think Benavidez thought if he made a lot of noise, then Canelo would cave like he did with Golovkin. Difference is, Golovkin had a bigger following and more money on the table than Benavidez. Plus, this was before Canelo solidified himself as a HOF and possibly ATG.

Went about it all the wrong way. Plus, that's your countryman. Should've just chilled the f*** out a little

Alvarez exposed as the biggest ***** in the sport. One of the most blatant ducks in boxing history and his zealots still support him. You have to laugh.

Ginger has no pride, no honour and no legacy. "I don't fight with fellow Mexicans, guys, unless they aren't Benavidez".

[boxing IQ]

Sorry, guys. I know you all tried

But the ones throwing the punches call the shots

And some, more so than others
