[The axe murderer]

Seems to me is Benavidez one of those guys the general public is higher on than me.
He has good handspeed and flurries, good power, a decent but not great jab and I guess he's tough (?) but otherwise I don't see it. Every time I see him he looks pretty stiff, despite what I read from some I think he is fairly easy to hit, he follows guys around the ring, seems uncomfortable when someone doesn't bring the action to him and my god is he slow as fukk on his toes.
Don't get me wrong though it's not like he would be a terrible fighter, he is still a "good" fighter despite all his flaws, it was enough to beat Dirrell at least who's not bad but he's not all that good. Or not yet at least, he can still improve at 22. If he beats Plant, Smith or BJS I'll concede I was wrong but currently I don't see it.

As for Smith's chin, he ate some big shots from Groves and wasn't hurt, I think he at least has an average chin. Benavidez was KD by Gavril.

I expect Benavidez to style on Yildirim though, Yildirim will bring him the heat but he doesn't have Benavidez's power and handspeed, he will get clapped in the exchanges just like he was against Eubank. If Benavidez couldn't take him out that would be a bad look though.

he one of those dudes that got fast hands but slow feet.

He’s a big Swift only difference is he is more willing to throw combinations

I think swift is fast too, it’s just his feet don’t move with his hands so it reduces him to counterpunching

Benevidez seems inconsistent in the ring as well. He always has the slow feet, fast hands but there are times he seems like he gets caught up in the moment with the crowd and disregards defense. I think he's overconfident because of his physical size.

Not even hating on him but i bet he gets lights out by a Sergio Martinez type of punch ( the Paul Williams rematch )

he can't get too in the pocket. Calum is one of the best combination punchers and he's taller.
