Canelo ducked Benavidez by....

*checks notes*

... becoming undisputed, and fighting Plant, Golovkin and Bivol back to back....

:umad:

In any case, I hope the Benavidez fight gets made so canelo can take another 0.:banderas:
You took notes on it?

Well if you did, you'd clearly see that he moved to 175 to fight Kovalev when Benavidez became mandatory to fight him at 168. Then he went back to 168 (literally immediately) when Benavidez got belt taken for not making weight and lost any rankings for mandatory at 168 etc.

But don't let the truth get in the way of a good spin.

I like Canelo, watch all his fights. But I'm not blind to ducking and diving when I see it.

Cheeky Canelo knew Benavidez would be stripped twice for cocaine and junk food. Masterful ducking by Canelo.

he's not scared, but he clearly just doesnt value the fight. with him losing to bivol, he now has even more reason to not fight benavidez any time soon because he will be negotiating the bivol rematch and taking much easier fights in the meantime. if benavidez was a light footed-technical boxer, then i would say canelo is actually ducking. i dont think canelo is bothered by pressure fighters much, especially not at his most comfortable weight.
It's not even him just not valuing the fight.. Canelo already committed to 2 fights for 2023.. Benavidez vs Plant was supposed to be a unification fight that was 3-4 years ago when they were both undefeated title holders.. Benavidez finally gets in the ring with Plant in 2023 lol wins a decision and nikkas act like Canelo is obligated to abandon his plans just to face a guy who finally beat someone Canelo already stopped instead of satisfying his wbo mandatory and avenging his lost vs Bivol

You forgot the part when he went back up to 175 . Going up to 175 had nothing to do with Benavidez. Canelo wanted to become undisputed at 175, but he loss the Bivol fight

No I'm not. And yes it did. Alvarez saw an easier fight with Kovalev (rape case pending, A-Team forced a 7 week camp coming off 12 hard rnds with Yarde). It is what it is. It's okay that he has avoided Benavidez. It's not a new thing to duck opponents, all the champs do it.

*side note. Your timeline is off. He wasn't even dual belts at 168 when he ducked Benavidez the first time.

That's just something you telling yourself. Here's the facts though. Canelo followed up on that Kovalev fight, and literally went back up and tried to take Bivols belt

:what: Benavidez was not his Mandatory at 168 when he moved up to fight Kovalev... Canelo wasn't even at 168 when he moved up to fight Kovalev.. he was at 160 fresh off the Jacobs unification

Canelo was already coming back to 168 regardless if Benavidez had his belt or ot.. yall have to stop spreading these ridiclous fantasies.. He didn't need to wait for Benavidez to do anything.. He coulda simply fought Callum for the WBA

You're way off. See the thing is. Im not a fanboy. I just follow boxing. After that Kovalev fight (as you quoted), Canelo went back to 168, and this was STRAIGHT after Benavidez got stripped of the belt/mandatory. (like 24-48hrs after.) Look it up. I could give two fukks. That's what it is.

Yeah Canelo had some fukken balls going up to 175 to fight Bivol. I respected the fukk outta that. But that's another thing from the Benavidez scenario. Stop re telling shyt to suit your agenda.

Saying Canelo followed up on that Kovalev fight and went back up to 175 is a fact. He flew through 168 for undisputed, and immediately went after Bivols belt. This is all facts. Canelo out here trying accomplish his goals. You over telling yourself that his motive its all about running from Benavidez. Its silly, but you free to believe whatever

"they said the same about Golovkin. He's a monster. He's gonna knock me out. But you see It's different when they get in the ring with me" :youngsabo:



Canelo also said he's staying at 168 and if the bivol fight falls through then David is possible for September. Y'all are gonna be in shambles after he exposes this dude. David squares himself up way too much in short exchanges. He's gonna get lit up and go into retreat like little g did.

:mjlol: Delusional dikkriding has reached a new hight


Like I wish I could see the thought process. He can’t go “I’m the bigger draw don’t need no belts” angle except he was fighting for a fake belt on Sat so we know he care about the real ones. Canelo has all the real belts at the weight but it’s Benavidez weight class now for getting a close decision over a guy Nelo got out of there. :mjlol:

:mjlol: just imagine if Plant lost a decision his previous fight then this would now be Anthony Dirrell's division.. 0 belts and all :dead:
