Whe people act like Benavidez is some threat for Canelo

[KingHippo]

Let's be clear - there is only one special fighter and that is TBE. There are guys with potential to be special in boxing but we'll never know until until they beat convincingly an elite fighter. Canelo is one, Bud is one, Andrade, Charlos, Beterbiev, Bivol, just to name a few.

Eurgh... that was gag inducing.

How big are you son?

[JakeTheBoxer]

So pacquiao should have fought 154 pounders after beating Margarito? If he was holding the belt hostage i’d agree but he dropped the belt and moved back down.

So you guys admit Canelo has no business fighting at 175?

Cmon man, you compare small Pac to Canelo? Canelo has over 180 lbs right now.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo tested the waters to see how he felt there, then dropped the belt afterward.

This is a guy that fought at 140 early in his career. If the only fighters that people think can beat him now are at 175 then he is obviously great indeed.

I don't see them making such stringent demands on anybody else.

Test the waters? Look at him how he looks now.

I am pretty sure he is on juice, but still.

He hit Callum Smith with everything but the kitchen sink and still couldn't stop him.

It's safe to say we are at the upper limits of the weight class where his power can be effective.

Juice? He has done year-round VADA testing. He is more proven clean than whoever your favorite fighter is, unless your favorite is Nonito Donaire.

All im saying is he’s fighting at 168 right now where most of the guys are over 6ft. And to imply he’s ducking 175lb champs is silly. He won a 175lb belt against a faded formerly great champion. Especially when there’s very little noise from those same fans demanding for Beterbiev and Bivol to fight. Canelo is tiny at 175. There’s no debating that. Are you implying he’s not?

[Bandman]

Naw sorry Benavidez is a bigger threat than GGG at this point.

[aboutfkntime]

Because he beat some unknown Romanian bum, Dirrell, Angulo?

Forget it, how is he bigger threat than Bivol, a legit 175 guy, that beat some good 175 contenders?

How is Benavidez bigger threat than Beterbiev, a big 175 puncher?

Even 100 old GGG is much bigger threat than Benavidez.

dude, Bivol and Beterbiev are LHW's

Benavidez is the biggest (realistic) threat to Canelo

[JakeTheBoxer]

Naw sorry Benavidez is a bigger threat than GGG at this point.

Very unlikely, but I respect your opinion.

Probably you think he is something like Lopez at 135?

[aboutfkntime]

He beat Kovalev for 175 belt, so it is legit to expect him to fight at 175.

nah, thats bullshlt

He fought at 140 a handful of times when he was fifteen years old. Misleading.

Kovalev was a middleweight when he was a teenager. People grow. Puberty and ****.
