Comments Thread For: Monster knockout: David Benavidez blows out Gilberto Ramirez

Comical how everyone is glazing Pudgy Dave aka Pear Man now.

Please tell me you're joking. Beating Anthony Yarde and Turdo doesn't vault Pear Man into the Top 5 P4P. Anyone who believes that is either mentally ill or on fentanyl.

Shakur and Bam did not face better competition. Get real old men and tell me your top 5 and stick to your argument which eliminates Shakur and Bam.

If Benny goes for Usyk, he will bite more than he can chew. IMHO David just don't have the footwork to hang up with Olexander

That Usyk talk is beyond silly Benavidez is small at 175. He just a skinny fat 175 guy. He can make 175 more easy than the majority of fighters there and thats where he belongs. Plenty of fights for him there as well. Beat Bivol then Beterbiev and for the next 2-3 years put the division in a chokehold before going to Cruiser for good.

I always favored him over Bivol but i would pick a prime Beterbiev to beat Benavidez but all of the fights are pretty much 50/50.

Bivol's body won't be there for Benny to hit. Zurdo (who Bivol already outboxed comfortably) mostly plodded forward and presented an easy target. Benny had to expend a lot of energy keeping Ramirez off him and showed signs of (at least temporary) fatigue. It paid off because he stopped Zurdo half way but it would have been interesting to see how his stamina held up had it gone longer.

Bivol - Benny is still the main fight for me, hopefully that comes next after the Eifert tuneup. I suspect he's still on the hook for the Beterbiev trilogy though.

Where have you been? I kinda missed your comments which i mostly disagree with

Took a break because I'd been posting too much in the lounge. Plus I have become a little jaded with boxing. I go through phases like that.

I said it years ago, this guy is special, a phenom. This was a true P4P elite performance and guess what he debunked the weightbully bs made up by Canelo fans. After all it turned out Benavidez did what he did to all the "small" guys and even in more devastating and dominant fashion because the unique thing about him is not his size.

Underrated defense, underrated reflexes, underrated composure in the pocket, handspeed phenomenal and one of the most natural FIGHTERS ever to lace up gloves.

He is complete. The defense and counter punching in the pocket was art. That last sequence had it all. People focus on the flashy combinations but there is much more behind that. He can really do it all, a complete fighter. Casuals focus on his footwork but it works for his style. Nobody can mess with him. He is one of the best fighters I have ever seen.

Beterbiev is a technically superior boxer to Benavidez, especially in the footwork department. Bivol will be more easily able to control the distance against Benavidez which will cause the latter to throw more jabs while following him around and unable to set himself for power shots.

I agree with most of what you said but Bivol has a tenency to rest on the ropes with his high guard on no matter who is the opponent he even did it against Canelo who s*cks and cutting of the ring and has the slowest feets and Bivol did not do it because he was cornered he just did it because it is (bad) habit of him.

I expected something like that. But the site needs someone to keep the negative and hateful comments of the people (sometimes it maybe includes mine) in check.

Benavidez never looks tense. He has such a relaxed, laconic style and just explodes off of it. A very impressive performance.

That comes from sparring champions from 14 years old. He has lived in the gym since he was a child. He is a fighting prodigy.

"Anyone who disagrees with me is a casual. David - and by extension my opinion - is perfect. Therefore, no more argument needed, just pure worship."

This in microcosm sums up the terminally online modern male today. Finding strongmen to uncritically support on the internet.
