Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Benavidez Strongest, Plant Most Beatable Of 168-Pound Champs

[boxrec]

Benavidez the most talented. Power , body punching , timing, punch selection, reflexes, toughness. Watch out and DO NOT say I didn’t warn you. BJ FLORES

Jacobs is not really entitled to an opinion on the 168lber champs since he elected to ride in the clown car with Chavez Jr

This is a very good point. Jacobs may be compromised having made 160 for so long. He should've moved up a while ago. Not sure Jacobs gets anything done at 168.

I can see all the titleholders beating him.

the right combination of technique/skill/ringIQ beats power any day..

Plant is not Mayweather. Mayweather is one-of-a-kind. Plant is a very good boxer & would be a liable to beat anybody in the division, but in no way do I see him beating Benavidez if he can't hurt him. Against Uzcategui, he was gassed in the latter half of the fight & Uzcategui was getting to him. If he gasses like that against Benavidez, he's toast.

plenty of fighters have done that... Gavril in the first fight, was not Mayweather either... and Benavidez is only 22

that is a good fight

I favor Benavidez, who still shows good improvement

I agree. Gavril came at Benavidez though & was willing to take Benavidez' big shots to get his in. I don't see Plant coming at Benavidez like Gavril at all. If Plant wants his best chance to beat Benavidez, he should do it now while he is still in his growing stage(even though he is so highly gifted & a 2× champion already).

Yes in my opinion, Jacobs is a pure businessman at this point in his career. He will look back on his fights with lil g and Canelo and realize that had he taken more risk and pushed the action, he could have won those scraps
