Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vacates WBC belt, David Benavidez to become full titleholder

[STREET CLEANER]

This is a myth... Canelo only dares to be great against against perceived low lying fruit who are either shot or coming off poor performances like Bivol did against Craig Richards post Pandemic. Now lets see if he "dares to be great" again against Benavidez! More likely he'll dare to be great against 41 year old Badou Jack at cruiser while having the cheek to ask the fight be made at 180lbs catchweight for the title.

As of late his opponent has been subpar. He was taking challenges until he unified. After Bivol he has been very selective.

Highly doubt Bivol only got 2.5m for headlining a Saudi card and there is no way Benavidez offered him more than he could get for another Saudi payday

Youp. Sulaiman is not a credible source.

I see no issue with a third fight when the result of both the first and the second bout was unclear, and both fights were great to watch, it's been gripping elite-level stuff. And, like folks are saying here, this trilogy was already written in stone. But whoever wins this fight better face Benavidez next, I am hoping that that's built into the promotion.

Ginger is white af. Looks more like irish/Scottish or German than Mexicano. I got light skin familia in Jalisco and even they look more authentic than him.

Yeah man but that doesn't make Canelo any less of Mexican, Im a whitexican too and I also have brown toned skin relatives/family ,that doesn't make them necessarily more authentic, like I said, Mexican is a nationality not an ethnicity per se.

It's not magic. Benavidez beat two top 10 opponents and managed to get ranked number 1 in two sanctioning bodies and mandatory to Bivol.

Beat the #3/4/5/6/7/8 etc to achieve said ranking? No? Then boxing is a sham. Why have rankings?

What a dummy. Jealous of Mexicans...

Lmfao
Way to expose yourself dumbass
Plain and simple weakness but keep plodding forward , just a matter of time before you shoot yourself in the foot

[jackblack008]

The bigger question is whether Benavidez has the guts to fight the winner of the trilogy, because once PBC gets that belt I can see them rotating it around within and never unifying just like that WBA 140 belt...

True words were spoken

[MulaKO]

Remember this is the same guy who said he was happy to wait until the trilogy is over...





A man of his word, clearly ...

Benny has been about exposing himself and his way of doing things throughout his career
Funny how nobody leans on him for HIS words let alone his actions

It was in article awhile back

I am still puzzled that a choice to fight the most dangerous and the most destructive guy ever at 175 is called a duck. I wonder how many people would have said something like that before their first fight when Beterbiev had the 100% KO ratio?
