Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez can do without David Benavidez, says Robert Garcia

'He couldn't even land that on berlanga but Benavidez is just going to be wide open like a bum? You still have not realized Benavidez is actually very hard to hit clean? Guess who has realized this. Canelo'.

No. You're right that Benavidez is better than Berlanga but that doesn't mean Benavidez is harder to hit than Berlanga. Benavidez will be coming to win & probably to win inside the distance. He won't trust the judges to give him a fair shake v Canelo. He will be there to be hit. Berlanga was hard to hit with big shots because he came purely to survive 12 rounds.

Its exactly what it would mean. Fighting Bivol twice when there is no demand, and Benavidez not once when the boxing world are begging for it? what else does it mean?

It's means he's not afread of Benevidez.. He just telling him he can go fk himself.

If it doesn’t happen it won’t change Canelo’s place in the game one iota.

correct, among people who have no clue about boxing that is

I was watching the Canelo fight with a few friends last weekend. They mostly watch UFC but some boxing. They don’t even know who Benavidez is. Outside of NSB groupies he is not a mainstream name. His only PPV as a headliner bombed and Al Haymon put him on Tanks undercard for his last fight so he wouldn’t take another bath losing money on Benny.

These were the same homies that kept asking me when the Canelo/GGG fight was going to happen for years.

This is a fight hardcore boxing fans want but there isn’t mainstream outcry for it. I don’t think it would do big PPV numbers either. If it doesn’t happen it won’t change Canelo’s place in the game one iota.

So if sanctioning bodies or fans won’t force Canelo to fight whom we want, forget bs titles. Bivol Beterbiev is great & is for titles. Benevidez in that mix is great. Crawford & Boots & Tank & Ryan Garcia & Usyk, etc can be exiting with or without bs titles. We want competition, not necessarily belts.

Nelo will fight the winner out of Benevidez, Bivol and Beterbiev. Let them beat each other up, and whoevers at top of food chain, Nelo will fight, hopefully

[Haka]

Canelo has his own niche cherrypicking up and comers and makes a lot of bank doing that.

Bivol > Benevidez

Canelo fighting and chacing Bivol means he isn't afraid of Benevidez.. The same Benevidez that couldn't KO Plant. The same Plant that Canelo KO-ed previously and the same plant that Mccomby put on the canvis a several times..

Well see what becomes of Benevidez soon enough though.

I predict he'll fight the loser of Bivol v Beterbiev and will most likely lose that fight.

Canelo will probably get the winner with the influence of his payday. He'll be an obvious underdog, but it is Canelo.. He is one of the only fighters in a long time to be fkN wildin' out here taking on real challenges.

———-
Canelo fought Bivol because he thought he would win. Canelo wanted a rematch but ONLY at 175. Bivol offered to drop down to 168 for the rematch, that way Canelo can never said he lost because he moved up in weight. Guess what Canelo did? He refused.

All Bivol wanted was to be undisputed at 168.

We can deduce one thing from that - Canelo is not ready to lose the belts he’s been holding hostage for a while now. It is the reason he has refused to fight Benavidez and the reason he has refused to fight Bivol at 168.

Bivol > Benevidez

Canelo fighting and chacing Bivol means he isn't afraid of Benevidez.. .

Find it amazing that Garcia would say Canela does not need Benavidez. If Canela does not fight Benavidez, for the rest of his life in Mexico or Hollywood, Canela will be known as a "COWARD" "CHICKEN????" "FRAUD" "CHERRYPICKER". R. Garcia does not need to worry about that, because they will not be talking SH?? about him. A true Champion, especially one from Mexico, fights everyone.
