Comments Thread For: David Benavidez's mission statement is boxing's most impressive

[ELPacman]

I like how Benavidez and Tim Tszyu talk. They're both throwback fighters. Though we've already seen that mostly costing Tszyu. I don't doubt Benavidez wants the biggest names he can get. I just think his style is a bit much for fighters at or near his weight and they know it. Big muscles don't scare him, big punchers don't scare him, boxers haven't scared him. He's gone through them all without making a big deal about it.

I think it will take Benavidez biting off more than he can chew in that he puts himself at a bigger handicap where we'll see him struggle or finally take an L.

I personally don't care about the Canelo - Benavidez beef, but as a fan of the sport, these days Benavidez has been more entertaining and putting on better fights. I think I liked Canelo most when he was coming up and still trying to prove himself. Ya know, during the Kirkland days. Yeah... goes back quite a bit since I've found a Canelo fight highly entertaining.

Are you on drugs? Crawford was at most a natural welterweight. No sane person believes he was a natural middleweight. No one.

Terrence Crawford was walking around at a solid 180 + pounds in-between fights, if he was a natural welterweight then? He would not have been weight draining himself to make all of those lower class weight limits. Those are the facts.

Note: There is a mass of footage online which can be viewed, which shows footage of Terrence Crawford speaking about the process of how he makes the competition weight limit 'and the process was brutal on is body physiologically'.

Terrence Crawford for most of his career, avoided fighting at his more natural fighting weight of 160 to 168 pounds. That was why it was no big deal for him to eventually fight Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds'.

To conclude: I have stated this many times before, if Crawford was fighting in past boxing eras 'that were not using the day before weigh in rule. There is absolutely no way, he would have fought in 5 multiple weight divisions. He was only able to do this because? He used weight draining tactics extensively to avoid fighting at his more natural fighting weight'.

You obviously don't want to acknowledge this, because you most likely believe this takes away from his feats achieved in the sport. And it shows that he is not this old school fighter, which certain sections of the boxing community have attempted to portray him as, unlike Floyd Mayweather Junior and Bernard Hopkins i.e. modern day fighters who stayed close to their fighting weight all year round'.

I think it is common knowledge that Terrence Crawford used weight draining tactics extensively, like certain modern day fighters 'most knowledgeably, and honest people within the boxing community know this' etc.

My grandmother's resume at cryiserwe6us better than Opetaia's. He's still a nightmare style for Benavidez aka Pear Man.

Hahaha. I don't know if Opetaia's style is a nightmare for Benavidez, but his all-around talent will be tough to overcome. Benavidez certainly isn't body beautiful, but neither is Tyson Fury. A lot of great fighters don't have fantastic physiques.

Spray_resistant these Mexicans are built different fast hands but slow feet

Fat Davey AND Saul Santos

Fat Davey has the edge in hand speed over Buff Guy Jai

but Buff Guy has the faster feet

manny handspeed was comparable to Floyd

but when they fought Floyd's faster feet were in charge

Usually like a bag of wet clothing but have surprising athletic ability inspite of it. Saul Santos is a rarity but its because his real dad is obviously a chad white boi traveling to Mexico on business.

IDK If Fat Dave really does have the handspeed advantage over Buff Guy Jai, quick combinations in close but I get Jai's jab and single shots get there first.
