Comments Thread For: Canelo backs Bivol to beat Benavidez, says he 'did nothing at 175 pounds'

[champion4ever]

What's so wrong with Canelo Alvarez giving us boxing fans the fights that we are willing to pay him to see? Historically, that's what prizefighters like Sugar Ray Leonard used to do all the time.

They assume the most risk for the most amount of money. After a damn near 20 year career; At the very least he owes the boxing public a minimum of one fan appreciation fight who've supported him for his entire career.

What a very mean and selfish S.O.B. he is? Which is why he would never be remembered as one of the all-time Mexican great fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr and Salvador Sanchez.

Saul Alverez.
Wow, what a guy.
Hmm...I wonder if the doors in his home are tall enough for him to walk through, and he does not have to 'duck' them like he ducked Mr. Benavides.

If he some how makes it in to a hall of fame, that would be a wonder, with his history of using peds.

First ballot all the way! For obvious reasons he is held to a different bar and standard than most boxing Hall of Famers. He is a Mexican fighter with white skin privilege.

Bivol beats both Biev and Benny and after Benny loses to Bivol, Jose Sr. will somehow try to blame the loss on Canelo.

Or blame the use of Clenbuterol or maybe it's just Canelo that's the drug cheat? In either case, Benny fights the guy that beat Canelo's ass and Canelo fights Berlanga.

Canelo making way more than eggs Benny too. Makes you big mad doesn’t it? Say livi

Pobre Benny, his father and his sleazy promoter talked him right out of the biggest payday of his life... "Canelo, Canelo, Canelo" Viva la raza!!!!!!!

[elmaravilla]

Can't wait for Berlanga fight to be over. That will mean the 3 fight deal with Haymon is over and then Canelo can start fighting meaningful fights.

No lies told here by Canelo. David was exposed as a weight bully, he struggled, like was really in the trenches with a B- light LW, that was supposed to be a showcase until.....it wasn't. It's one of those fights in boxing where the headliner won the fight, but lost the event, some of that luster came off and nobody can dispute that. At least he now can live up to his monster moniker.....by fighting actual monsters.

Canelo will NEVER fight Benavidez. He's full of crap! Floyd fought Manny late in the game, because there was still a huge demand for it, and they are close in age. It won't work for Canelo to wait until he's ready to retire, because he's six years older than Benavidez. As time goes on, it just gets harder and harder for Saul to be effective against David, and he knows it. Nothing would embarrass him more than to have his ass handed to him in his last fight. He tried to save face after losing to Bivol by saying that a rematch was his top priority so he could have his revenge, yet it never happened. He instead offered Bivol the same lowball that he offered him in the first fight, knowing that Dimitru would reject it as the victor of that fight. Similarly, he's demanding $200K to fight Benavidez, knowing that even the fifthly oil-rich Alalshiek won't put up that much for one fighter. He even engaged in a public feud with Turki to make sure to sour him against meeting his outrageous demand.

Strongly disagree. As long as both fighters stay active the fight still possible imo, Canelo may be 6 years older but he doubles or triples Bennys experience fighting at the highest level, lets not even begin with each fighter style, you know damn well Canelo struggles with Elite Movers( Floyd-Bivol) not so much with flatfooted pressure punchers like Benny. Even with difference in size and age its huge step up for Benavides more than it is for the ginger. As for the crazy money demand, even Benavidez promoter said isn't that crazy figure to reach and with Turki The Dictator now in the scene everything is possible.

Btw, I wouldn't call that Bivol offer a 'lowball' considering it was his highest purse ever back then. Plus you forgot the fact Bivol wanted 168 undisputed not running it back at 175 like Canelo originally wanted.

[garfios]

Canelo on his way out the game, ofc he'll want to squeeze every single buck outa potential Benny fight. Floyd did it with Manny and their fight made the history books....financially at least.

He's a pu$$y. Ask yourself why he has pick ryder, munguia and berlanga, instead of rematching bivol or defend the belts against David Morrell Jr or benavidez. Why? Can't use the they haven't done anything, because the the three he chose had no business at the division
