Have you ever seen a fighter more terrified of another before?

[garfios]

I wholeheartedly agree. I don’t think whether he fights Benavidez or not at this point has any significant impact on his legacy anymore. It’s done. My stance has always been if anybody wants to criticize Canelo for not fighting Benavidez because it will “tarnish” his legacy…puh-lease.

If they want to criticize Canelo for holding to all (or most of) the belts without facing Benavidez, then by all means. But I personally think more of the onus is on the sanctioning bodies to strong arm Canelo and force the Benavidez fight…call his bluff.

There was an interesting take Chris Algieri had on this exact situation we’re discussing, where he argued that if HE was in Canelo’s shoes, he could DROP the belts and fight Benavidez (or anybody for that matter) and make more money without the cumulative sanctioning fees associated with having to defend a belt (or the three in his possession as of August 15).

The selection of Berlanga has irritated me to absolutely no end. Berlanga comes off to me as a fake tough guy who drinks his own kool-aid.

I’m going to stop typing here before I just go on a tirade over how much bull**** of a PPV match this is.

I'm not watching that bs. Haven't watch nor pay for canelo's in years.

More agenda driven bu!!shyte. Berlanga ain’t beating, Andrade and likely not a few others. Quit making garbage up.

Might as well the Charla's into your rant

Dumb, even for you. Neither fought Benevides.

Well duh, a P4P fighter's age is going to matter more against a fellow P4P fignter moreso than it did against others, although I do think GGGs age was brought up against Brook & Jacobs as well, which is why Canelo finally fought him because we finally started seeing some slippage in those fights.

Aging is aging
Unless one is up against BUMS
Which GGG's resume consisted of 95% BUMS
Again, no matter what, Nelo was ALWAYS going to be 7 years younger.
His parents fault, yes

GGG fought 1 maybe 2 credible opponents in his career
Take Nelo out of the equation and he would be able to fight well into his 70s

It could have been canelo, but the guy has no balls.

A fighter with the best resume of all active fighters is a coward

''Fight'' fans are hysterical

I dunno about that.

Berlanga’s 23rd fight will be a more legit opponent than Benavidez has ever faced, but that’s only because he happened to land the fight by sheer divine intervention. We’d be saying the same thing if Benavidez had been picked. He just hasn’t…or won’t Who the hell really knows at this point?

Is there a scenario where Berlanga would’ve beaten Plant? Sure, maaaaaaaaaaybe. Same with Lemieux…maaaaaaaaaaaaybe. I’d still favor both Plant and Lemieux (back then) to beat Berlanga.

I don’t think he would’ve beaten Andrade either, though. Berlanga’s been super lukewarm lately and he just doesn’t convince me.

We’ll have to agree to disagree, though.

Can’t wait to be on these boards if the fight ever gets made. There’s gonna’ be so much ****-talking…absolutely off the charts. Lol

It's BS talk that give these unproven boogeymen their strength.
I keep asking mugs if they would be Nelo fans if he had Benny's resume
No one is picking up the phone !

He lost his balls, maybe you can find them for him. You love him so much why not help him out. You should be tired of repeating the same tune over and over again, seeing how your idol is dragged through the mud. Help him out.

Than Canelo is of Benavidez, in the history of the sport? Would be interested in some examples. I can't think of any. We know Bowe dumped the belt to duck Lewis but there was nowhere near as much money and demand for that fight, so I don't think its as bad as this. Canelo knows this is the biggest fight to make in the sport, his biggest pay day, and that everyone thinks he's ducking David for years, yet he still ducked him!

Yeah Floyd scared to death of Pac circa 2008-2010
