Andrade wasted his physical prime on inactivity and journeymen. He was better 9 years ago fighting at 154. He didn't have much business at 168, but Benavidez dispatched of him impressively.
It just goes to show there's no substitute for being active. With PBC regularly feasting him on tomato cans you knew sooner or later the chickens would come home to roost. And after seeing Charlo go 12rd with the smaller and less talented Benevidez I see the same thing happening to him. If I'm Canelo I'm calling PBC right now demanding a fight with Charlo. He's ripe for the taking.
After the stinker that was Canelo vs Charlo.....i doubt anyone want to see the more alcoholic twin "trying"(cashout fight) avenge his brother...
Charlo is undefeated and is the linear champ at 160. If Canelo beats Charlo he would technically be the king from 154 to 168. All this talk about him avoiding Andrade and Charlo would go away and he could run off into the sunset as the greatest Mexican fighter in history. At least on paper.
Canelo will never be considered the greatest Mejican fighter in history. 3-4 black youtuber are teh only ones talking about Canelo avoiding Andrade or Charlo....the average boxing fans or casual boxing fans doesn't know Charlo or Andrade. Even in the boxing forums nobody is saying Canelo avoided Andrade or Charlo.. There are a lot more fans saying Canelo is ducking Bendevidez and the Bivol rematch...
If Charlo WHUPPED Benavidez's Ass, Then MAYBE...But Since He Didn't Stop, Drop OR Badly Hurt Benavidez, Charlo is Pointless, Other Than Fuuuuuurther DELAYING the Smoke...Literally, Canelo JUST Beat Up a Guy That Looks JUST Like Charlo, No Thanks... A Fight w/Bud Would DISTRACT Enough Boxing Fans to Buy Time....Munguia's Been Discussed, But the ONLY Way Canelo Can Fight Him Next Is if He PROMISES to Face Benavidez Immediately Thereafter...Like, Within a Day or So of Announcing a Munguia Bout, Canelo Would HAVE to Let it Be Known Benavidez Got Next...Otherwise, Canelo Will Have Officially SHAT Away the Goodwill That's Been Seeping Out of His Super Middleweight Reign for the Last 3 Years.... The Proverbial "Walls" Are Closing In On Canelo... REED
Jesus Christ it's been 24 hours since Benevidez fought Andrade and these hoes are already saying Canelo is ducking? Like I said there's a pretty good chance Canelo fights Munguía in May and most likely Benavidez in November. When Canelo signed a 3 fight deal with PBC you had to know Benevidez would be the very last fight because it's the most difficult one. Unless you're a total idiot you had to know that. That's just how boxing works. It's called building up the fight.
Call it whatever DUCKING, AVOIDING, leaving it to the "very end because it's teh most difficult one" this fight is built up already, no more builld up needed easy a 1+million ppv buy rate he hasn't had one of those since the GGG rematch, 5 years ago.. We got 6 months until May.....more than enough time to promote the fuck out of this fight....Benevidez look great this past Saturday, If Canelo is ready the fight should be announce in the next week or 2....
I'd be ok with Canelo getting Munguía in May and Benevidez in November. If no talks of Canelo vs Benevidez are taking place by the end of 2024 then... you'd be in the right to scrutinize Canelo. But not now. He'll fight him just chill my boy.
I am not impressed with Benavidez. I think Canelo can beat him easily. All Benavidez has is a puncher's chance and nothing else.
Maybe...Benevidez is on and off cuttting the ring, the footwork is clumsy, the jab isn't that good. Benevidez has to be ready to apply pressure and let his hands go for 12 full rounds...36 minutes...he's not going to outbox Canelo...he's going to have to beat him up every round...drop him a few times and even that might not be enough.
Jury is out Andrade said no mas!!! The only question now is who was the bigger bitch Shakur for not engaging or Andrade for quitting? https://youtube.com/shorts/qQdSwLTLlEQ?si=AElMiHDGsoAIS1B6
@ Least Andrade Got IN the Ring w/Benavidez, Something YOUR Hero Has Had EVERY Opportunity to Do for the Last 3 YEARS, Yet Repeatedly Concocted Excuses NOT To...If Andrade's a "Bitch" for Actually TAKING His AssWhipping and Tapping Out, What EXACTLY Does That Say for Canelo???... What EXACTLY Will That Say for Canelo, After WITNESSING an Ass Whupping as Such, Choosing to Face Munguia in a Fight NOBODY Gives a Fuck About, Instead???... REED
I'm surprised you actually think Canelo would fight Benevidez on his second fight of a 3 fight deal with PBC. As I said before if Canelo gets a tune up "Munguía" in May and Benevidez in September I have no problem with that. We need to be patient it will happen. No reason to think Canelo is afraid of fighting a guy that's tailored made for his style. Canelo only loses to runners and movers. The guys that gave Canelo his loses were Mayweather and Bivol and both guys fight nothing like Benevidez. Don't get it twisted Canelo is not DooDoo stain Andrade. He will feast on a come forward brawler that blocks with his face. Easy work. Stay tuned it will happen when Canelo is good and ready.
Only runners and movers beat Canelo, eh? Last time I check, Floyd and Bivol stood RIGHT IN FRONT of that plodding clown and beat the shit outta him. Golovkin wasn't running either when he CLEARLY won the first fight.
Ryder and Charlo were TUNE UP fights… You’re acting like Benevidez just came out of nowhere, the steppes like the Huns & is new threat to Canelo…Benevidez has been waiting 2-3 years for the fight.
Why would haymon make a fight with munguia ? Last I checked Alvarez signed a 3 fight deal with haymon and has 2 left
REED Can Literally FEEL the Genuine CONCERN You Have for Canelo-Benavidez Taking Place, Thru the BULLSHIT You're Spewing...You're Trying to Convince YOURSELF of Something No One Else is Buying Bruh.... A 3 Fight Deal is Just THAT, a Deal for 3 Fucking Fights, No More-No Less...NOT Some Unspoken Build Up to Benavidez, Like You're Suggesting..."Patient" REED's Ass, It's Been 3 Fucking YEARS, So Cease and Desist w/BUYING Your Hero Even MORE Time...During That Stretch, Canelo Went OUT Of His Way to Avoid Benavidez, Undeniably...Literally Made REQUESTS and Set Up Scenarios Where He WOULDN'T Have to Fight Benavidez...REED's Even Detailed the Timeline for You, Repeatedly, Provided Links, But the CHEERLEADER in You Buries Your Head Like a Dick Riding Canelo Ostrich... Bivol DID NOT "Run" Nor "Move" All That Much from Canelo, He Put HANDS On Him, Simple As...& Floyd Stood in FRONT of Canelo Considerably MORE Than You'll Ever Care to Admit.... You're Not Only the 1st in Line, You're Typically the LOUDEST Voice (So to Speak) When Other Fighters Pull the Kind of Moves Canelo Has, to AVOID a Particular Fighter...Yet It's All GOOD When Canelo Does it, Huh???... "Patience"???...Fuck OUTTA Here Dude...Canelo & Benavidez WON'T Make a Dime More or Less for Fighting in May vs. Fighting In September & You Fucking KNOW It, So Spare REED Your "Let it Build" Bullshit...If the Fight is Delayed ANY Fuuuuurther, it's Because Canelo Still AIN'T Ready, PeriodT!..."I Don't Wish to Fight Mexican Fighters" WON'T Work This Time....Mexican LEGENDS like Barrera and JMMarquez are Flat Out DEMANDING This Fight...Mike Tyson Said (Paraphrasing) "I Don't HAVE to Say His Name, EVERYBODY KNOWS Who WE Want to See Benavidez Fight Next".... Shit Stands Out Like a Woman w/3 Breasts, Rocking a 2-Piece Bikini...Yet YOU Say "Be Patient"??? That's Because Deeeeeeeep Down, You're CONCERNED...GENUINELY....What's Funny Is, REED has NEVER Given a Canelo-Benavidez Prediction Because He's NOT Sure Who Wins; REED Simply Wants to SEE the Fight...But YOU, You're Literally AFRAID of Canelo-Benavidez Happening...The Way You're Pushing Back and Tap Dancing AROUND the Fight Itself, Makes it OBVIOUS.... Instead, You'd Rather Someone Else Knock Benavidez Off, So You Can Then Brag About How "Canelo Would've Beaten Him Anyways", Like You're Doing w/Boo-Boo...You're NOT Fooling Anybody... REED
GGG is a horrible example to make your point. The first fight was a draw and Canelo won the other two. And GGG has way better skills than Benevidez. And hits harder. Benevidez couldn't even stop Caleb Plant.
I personally think Canelo beats Benavidez, but it has to be next. Easily the most interesting fight out there for Canelo, moreso than a rematch with Bivol or anything like that.
Andrade stood no chance vs Benevidez just like he would stand no chance vs Canelo. Andrade never beat anyone hence the moniker the "36 year old prospect". He had potential but that's all it was because when he fought someone with a pulse he crumbled and quit. And how exactly did Canelo requested a scenario where Benevidez wouldn't be a part of? The 168 undisputed tournament was put together to decide who undisputed was at 168 at the time. That's Canelo, Saunders, Plant and Smith the 4 belt holders. What did you expect Benevidez to participate with no belt? Did Canelo have a drug dealer sell Benevidez smack? It's not Canelo's fault Benevidez got stripped .
Didn't You PICK Andrade to BEAT Benavidez???...Oh, but NOW Andrade "Stood No Chance"???....MISS REED w/the ABC Reasoning Bruh...What Benavidez Did to a 36 Year Old Andrade, @ 168, Has NOfuckingBEARING On HOW Canelo vs a YOUNGER Andrade Would've Played Out @ '54 or '60...PROXY Wins Don't Count, You Have to Actually BEAT a Motherfucker... This Is Why They FIGHT the Fights, Otherwise, WHY Bother???....Using YOUR "Logic", Ali Literally LOSES His Life to Foreman and Duran is KO'ed in LESS than 3 Minutes By Hagler...Doesn't Work That Way Though, Sorry... Funny You Mention the "Tournament", Because Canelo ONLY Made it Happen AFTER the WBC Stripped Benavidez and ALLOWED Him to Fight for their VACANT Title, the Same Night he Took Callum Smith's WBA Title....THEN, Instead of Facing Its # 1 Contender, Benavidez, the WBC ALLOWED Canelo to Face Avni Yildirum, Who was Ranked LOWER than Benavidez, as His Mandatory Defense...When Asked WHY This Occurred, the WBC Literally Said It was @ Canelo's "REQUEST"... REED's Posted the Link for YOU Specifically, Not Loooooooooooooooong Ago, But Since You Have a Convenient Case of AMNESIA, Here it Is AGAIN... WBC: Canelo Alvarez wasn’t ordered to fight Avni Yildirim. He ‘requested’ it. - The Athletic Got Benavidez's Stripped WBC Title/Smith's WBA Title in the SAME Fight, Fulfilled His WBC Mandatory Against a LOWER Rated Challenger Than the Former Champion, # 1 Ranked Benavidez....Then and ONLY Then Did Canelo PROCEED w/Collecting the Rest of the Belts.... Once he KNEW Benavidez, the Only TRUE Threat @ '68, was Sufficiently ELIMINATED....No, it's NOT Canelo's Fault Benavidez was Stripped, But EVERY SINGLE MOVE Canelo Made Thereafter was in the Name of NOT Facing Benavidez...Literally, the Motherfucker REQUESTED Yildirum In Lieu of the 2-Time, Undefeated Former WBC Champion, Benavidez....
