Comments Thread For: Benavidez Still Hopes To Face Plant, But Thinks He'll 'Sit Out Until He Gets Canelo Fight'

[Boxingfanatic75]

Now that the king has moved up in weight, Benavidez should take throne of that division. There is no one better now. Don't give me the Canelo hype. There's a reason Canelo is avoiding mexican fighters. The two who would willingly fight him would make him look bad. Benavidez is one.

I like all these fighters. HOWEVER, out of all three Benevidez is the most basic and he relies on only his power.

Footwork

Handspeed

Ring IQ

Counter punching

Power (based on competition)
Canelo/Benevidez tossup
Plant (deceiving power based on timing and counter punching)

The problem with Benevidez is he lunges with his punches. At times he loops his punches. He is a prime target for elite counter punchers and elite footwork. Based on this alone I firmly believe Benevidez would lose to both. However, he always has a punchers chance

Hay casual Plant lover, Benavidez has been avoided like the plague by Plant, don´t get it twisted. Benavidez´z dad even called Plant names and Plant doesn´t answer. Plant has good movement that´s it, no cohones...

See 41 and stop being a boxing fan girl groupie.

Canelo doesn´t want to fight Plant. It´s an easy fight for Canelo. Who cares abou belts nowadays? GGG vs Canelo would sell more than Canelo vs Plant. Plant is a coward and is always hiding from Benavidez.

Anyone that calls ANY boxer a coward doesn’t ever deserve to be taken seriously in any boxing discussion

That pib squeak wouldn’t go near Plant. He was too busy fighting bums like JLEON Love.

fair take by benavidez. plant is definitely waiting for canelo. he's fought lee, feignbutz, and now truax. And truax is the best of the bunch. best he's fought since uzcategui.

Benavidez fights a lot like Andy Ruiz. Incredibly fast hands for his weight but slow as hell on his feet.

Psst DB, hey DB, psst yo bro, JC says he moving up to 68, you better get ready bro.......hahahahahaha

The first aid for Plant, right? Benavidez smokes that clown.

You misread. He said he hopes to face-plant. Last time I did a face-plant was when I fell off my bike face first onto the concrete. I needed first aid, let me tell you. There was blood.

******* is a stimulant and increases metabolism exponentially. No, boxers aren’t using it as a weight loss supplement but it can be used as such. Some lose appetite taking it. Some increase appetite taking it and when eating dont gain weight because of increased metabolism.

That’s why it matters in boxing.

Thanks. I went and read some studies conducted on ******* and its affect on the body etc. If David was using ******* to help in fat burning and weight loss we would have most likely have seen him gain weight after he stopped using, making it harder for him to make his 168 limit which is probably why he missed weight when he lost the belt for the 2nd time. I hope he gets his act together. He has potential and it would suck if he threw it all away.

David knows he has time on his side, eventually all these champs will have to see him. Eventually, belt or no belt, plant will have to see David

Does he though? He's a big dude and I'm not sure how long he is going to make 168.
