I did the same thing with Callum Smith and he let me down. He was awful. Do not make the same mistake.
So as long as Canelo comes straight ahead like he did 3G last time out, this will be a barn burner!! I'm actually not sure of the victor. Canelo isn't old, but he isn't young either.
I think he has the tools to outbox Benavidez, but will he do that? In the end I agree he isn't a masterful performer, but he sure is entertaining!
Benavidez is not a messiah. But he's a tough, young, hard-punching, aggressive fighter who won't fight like Bambi in headlights... and will give Canelo something to think about as he comes forward.
Canelo's been blessed with ultra careful matchmaking, cherry picking at the higher weights, and all the comforts that are too many to enumerate and why beat on a dead horse.
He (Benavidez) may well lose to Canelo... who knows. Canelo seems to have found his ideal weight (16
, where he can safely feed off the Yildirims of the world and only venture above or below 168 to pick off lame zebras.
But at least Benavidez will provide a real test... not a sacrificial lamb as the others have been.
why didn't david go after callum or billy joe since super middle is so safe to feed off? who has david fought? nobody
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
