Do you think Canelo beats Benavidez?

[billeau2]

Not if you believe in what your saying

even if.... I believe trump is an orange sex god, ******** are **** and and...

[Smash]

i think the boxing world would have been buzzing if canelo benny was next up, that would have generated interest, now we got that s-pice boy berlanga who noone is interested in apart from his family & a few very dedicated fans, well done canelo

I think Canelo handles Benny. But the window is closing.

I didnt think Canelo could beat Beni before but after seeing Beni in his last fight against an OLD gold medalist. He's in trouble.

Yeah we all know Canelo is being a duck, Massive quack, but why, I reckon he picks his punches better, faster, more accurate
, great chin, etc etc. why he avoids him. I’d pick Canelo to win.

Tell him that, he might believe you.

Canelo seems vulnerable to being overpowered. Bivol had that advantage among others... He probably feels like whether he beats the Mexican Monster, or not... It will be a bruising fight. Kind of like fighting Margarito back in the day.

People are on him but they should think it through. What is it worth having money to spare if you drool into a bucket, cannot remember your wife's name, or anything much else? **** Gregory said it better: "Steve Job's died young at 55 with liver cancer. He had millions of dollars in his checking account... his dam checking account! I got a cousin in Mississippi who drinks cheap wine everyday, is 99 years old, does not have a dime!"

Bottom line? If Canelo's fans cannot see Nelo's perspective, are they really fans?

Edit: M you said "this version of Canelo" and that is what I am responding to, not a prime Nelo whoi would obviously think different about this fight.

Then don't fight him, jus vacate and let the young guns fight for the prize. He's clogging up the division.

Never mind what we think. Canelo doesn't believe that he can beat Benavidez. If he did, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

3 or 5 yrs ago, the pick would be Canelo easy.

Now, the pick is Benavitez.

Canelo struggles with active guys. And Canelo can’t overpower those closer to his size.

Canelo doesn’t have that killer instinct anymore. Take John Ryder for example. He had him really hurt bad and he couldn’t get the job done. And he was trying hard you could sense the frustration in the bout. Granted John Ryder is tough as nails, but I think Canelo’s power gets overrated by a lot of people.

Canelo has legit power, but all his greatest KOs came against either chinny, or undersized opponents.

I don’t think he’d really hurt Benavitez.

And it looks like Canelo kinda boxes in spurts these days. He needs to rely heavily on his skills.

I think Canelo would need to dig down deep against Benavitez. Canelo still has a great chance to win especially on the cards. Canelo’s a smart and crafty veteran. He has excellent punch selection and instincts.

He knows how to steal rounds and look good for the judges. That’s part of the reason why it always seems like he gets the benefit of the doubt in close rounds.

If Canelo comes out in TOP FORM, I think he will win and would probably be one of the best wins of his career if he does win and it would solidify him as an ATG.

But if he loses against Benavitez, or doesn’t box him, it’s a huge miss on his record.

legit power(he has respectable power, not one punch ko), but all his greatest KOs came against either chinny, or undersized opponents(You said, chinny old, or undersized) never agaisnt a top dog in his prime, well he doesn't fight that kind often enough.

I don't believe it's a deep as that. I believe Alvarez consistently fights people that he is favored to beat. They're usually either past-prime, under-sized, or tremendously less-skilled than him. Benavidez doesn't quite fit that profile.
