How come you didn't hail those names ?!?!?!?

"Answer the question, why does canelo is shamefully avoiding benavidez?"

Because he wants to ?

If anyone is a fraud, it's these boogeymen.

Benny, Berlanga, either or.....

Berlanga's name will look great on Benny's resume, so chill out !

You're not a boxing fan. How old are you? You can't be more than 15 yo. I'm done with you, he doesn't want to because he's afraid. Only a kid would answer that way. Be safe and pay attention when back in to school.

You're not a boxing fan.

You forgot to hail those names

[BodyBagz]

To get a Canelo fight you have to:

Be respectful

You absolutely, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES will not earn a fight with Canelo if:

Your name is David Benavidez
Your name is Dmitry Bivol

Respect goes a long way
Nelo already fought Biv
Biv don't want to run it back and give Nelo a rematch

As for Benny The Boogeyman.....
You tell me -

DooDoo
Plant (his best W, UD)
LeMeh
Davis
Ellis
Angulo
Dirrell, eh
Love
Gavril 2x
Medina
Mamamia
Douglin ......

All hail ?

Yup. Took Mayweather's place as the cash cow and face of boxing. What a real dumb-dumb lol

As a boxing fan how does that benefit you? Canelo is the cash cow, not you or me so how is how much he makes relevant to us?

Cool, he is the cash cow and has been the face of boxing....we still have a right to criticize him and his legacy. If you are a huge fan of him then that is fine...but there is a reason 50+% in Mexico don't even view him as a top 5 Mexican boxer.

I've hated this phoney for years, it's numb at this point. Even though I still purchased all his recent fights cause I'm addicted to this sport. He's not getting my money for this one, not even streaming. GTFOH

Over 50%…in Mexico…not as a top five…?

In popularity…? In skill set…? In accomplishments…?

Where did you get this information? Was this an article? A poll? Was it from just one source? How many people were asked? A mere 100? 200?

I wonder how many people that get asked/or got asked to name the top fighters of their country what are they basing it on…and if all those people that were asked those same questions watch boxing as much as say someone like a Steve Kim, Dan Rafael, Cus D’ Amato back when he was alive.

On top of that, you’d be surprised how many people from the general public will just mindlessly regurgitate opinions but can’t back up their stance when put on the spot.

You’re out in the street doing public interviews trying to get a feel for who do people think is the best Mexican fighter. You stop five random people. You pose the question: “Canelo or Chavez?”

If they’re 45 and over, most likely they’ll say Chavez.
If younger, they might still say Chavez but some Canelo.

And then sometimes, SOMETIMES, you’ll get someone that’ll scrunch up their face acting undignified when you pose them the question and they’ll say, “Chavez! Are you kidding me? Canelo never fought anyone of note!” And then you come back at them with, “Okay, name me 5 fighters Chavez beat that were highly significant.” And then they just stammer and look stumped trying to rattle off a couple names or three at best. Of course the names exist, but a lot of people aren’t equipped to partake in who’s a good fighter or not because the general public is just that…the general public.

Hell, the general public is going to eat up Canelo-Berlanga but that’s because they don’t know any better.

So again, based on who and where are you pulling this “over 50% in Mexico don’t look at him as a top fighter”? Canelo isn’t a hype job, sir. And I’m not saying or implying he’s better than Chavez (before anyone charges at me with pitchforks and torches).

I’ll take a stab at who are “the top 5 Mexican boxers” right now over Canelo (according to this “source”):

1. Benavidez (Mexican-American…but sure, let’s count him as “Mexican” for argument’s sake)

2. Isaac Cruz

3. William Zepeda

4. Jesse Rodriguez (Mexican-American…?)

5. Oscar Valdez

Am I warm? Marco!…Polo!…

Bivol offered to come down to Canelo's weight to FACILITATE him but Canelo crapped his pants yet again like the numerous other times he has done so in his career.

Resume's belong on sheets of paper. If there was any truth to what you are saying why is it that the sheer mention of Benavidez's name is enough for Canelo to lose control of his bowel functions. Even his own fans started booing him after the Munguia fight when he was probed on the Benny fight but couldn't give a straight answer. His own fans are beginning to see the fibre of his cowardice. It's got to the point now that he can't even hide it from them anymore

Biv is quoted saying he wasn't interested in a redo.

So.....if Nelo had Benny's resume, you'd be a fan ??
Go on and lie to me

Bivol wanted to run it back at 175lbs but Canelo only offered him the same 2 million again... To the champion who already beat him once?? That is what we call a low ball! Very similar in nature to when Canelo asked for 200 million to fight Benavidez - yes the same guy who's resume you are constantly ridiculing. Perhaps Canelo knows something about Benny that you don't, hey?
