    We know Canelo shamelessly ducked Benevidez for years who is considered by most to be the best fighter 168. If Canelo ducked him I feel like Crawford needs to beat Benevidez to be called undisputed. Crawford is only undisputed in paper but we all know the man at 168 is Benavidez not Canelo.

    Unlike Canelo Benavidez doesnt throw one punch at a time. The only way to beat slick black fighters is with pressure, volume and body work. Benny has all 3. He would beat Crawford like a runaway slave.

    Benavidez is a light heavyweight

    With Benavidez fighting at 175, there’s no reason for that fight now.

    He would've done the same to Canelo...and for the last 5 years Canelo knew it. That why he ducked and dodge...like a motherfucker...

    Both those guys are semi-retired at this point. They're also injury prone at this point.

    Bivol and Beterbiev in their primes would both take a shit on Benavidez.

    Not only that but Bivol is not in his prime? New narrative in case Benevidez beats Bivol. Ya te habias tardado puto
