Alvarez avoids Benavidez: A bad career movement for Canelo?
Published
4 hours agoon

Promoter Bob Arum meant this month that Canelo Alvarez became “businessman“He focused on collecting payments, instead of choosing humorous fights for fans to watch on PPV.
Avoiding the challenge of Benavidez
The Mexican star has not given fans the value of their money in recent years thanks to its money -based approach. He avoided one warrior whose fans asked him to fight, David Benavidez, And instead, he sold them secondary matches at the premium price.
The choice of Canelo opponents and avoiding talented contenders hurt his popularity. Some fans compare what he does with the performance of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Over the past few years in sport.
“Money” Mayweather chose many fighters who had a chance to beat him. However, from time to time he took a risk against Manny Pacquiao after waiting six years and against Miguel Cotto. Canelo doesn’t. He practically ceased to take the risk after his losing to Dmitry Bivol in 2022 and since then he has been cautious about his opposition.
“Bob Arum said this week that he was looking at Canelo much differently than it used to be. Canelo was a pound elite talent, a type of guy like” “. YouTube canal. “Many people have said similar things since Canelo decided not to fight David Benavidez. Is Canelo a boxer or businessman?”
It was a bad career movement for Alvarez so as not to fight Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” because he made him look cowardly, delicate and caring his CV. The last thing the fighter can afford is to perceive the threat chasing them at the elite level and calling them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Arum apparently changed his view of Canelo after he saw him avoided Benavidez for years and fights easier. Alvarez was still after 30 years, when Benavidez began to call him four years ago.
Strategy of the “Pension Route”
“I would agree with Bob Arum. I think he is more a businessman than a boxer, but it happens when you are a PPV star, “said Sergio Mora.” Whenever you are so long in a tooth, like Canelo, he is 35 years aged with over 65 fights as a professional, I think he deserved to be right and choose anyone who wants at this stage of his career.
Arum talks about Canelo during a long pension route, accusing his fans to see how he fights for unlimited fights. He lost the picture he had once when he fought the best from time to time. Even when Canelo was in great shape, he was still calculated with his choices. He decided to fight many best warriors when they were washed, not a threat.
Canelo’s older fighters fought
– Shane Mosley
– Miguel Cotto
– Gennadiy Golovkin
– Sergey Kovalev
– Floyd Mayweather Jr
– Carlos Baldomir
“I think that deservedly is an operative word there. Fighters who achieved what Canelo achieved have gained the right to selectivity towards their opponents,” said Mannix. “This is not a primary career strategy [to cherry pick]. Considering the fight with low risk and reward, it is exactly what Canelo does. Canelo, go back to early years. Mayweather fought. He fought Erislanda Lara when Lara was a killer, or at least a difficult warrior at that moment. “
The fact that Canelo fought with some of the best warriors earlier in her career does not mean that he deserved the right to being a businessman and selling his fights with the gentle PPV accents. Asking boxing fans to pay that Alvarez is fighting tomato cans or smaller, older, shortbread fighters, such as 38-year-old Crawford, he is not fair. This is a businessman’s approach. Canelo is not a boxer at the moment. He only chooses fights with defeated guys such as William Scull, Crawford, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. These should be free fights under Dazna subscription, not PPV.
P4P Canelo debate
“Gennadiy Golovkin fought when he was close to his best [Note: GGG was 35 when Canelo finally agreed to fight him. He’d been asking for a fight for three years since he was 32]. Bivol got up and fought, and he was a pound guy for pounds, said Mannix.
It wasn’t until Golovkin was in his thirties, Canelo finally agreed to fight him, and even then he came after his delicate performance against Kell Brook. GGG has been chasing Canelo for three years since he was 32 years aged without happiness.
“The question is when these pound lists appear for pounds, should we still have a Canelo Alvarez? After his performance against William Sculle, is Canelo still a pound war? [pound-for-pound]? “
Canelo should not be on the list of 10 pounds per pound for these reasons:
- Avoiding the best warriors: I’m sorry, Terenka Crawford doesn’t count
- Indigent performances from 2022
- Skills are falling: deterioration in skills
- Zero knockout from 2021
“Of course. When you are a PPV star, it gives you a seniority and the seniority keeps you in the top ten,” Mora said.
Sergio talks about popularity, not performance. The criteria for switching on fighters should not be based on their popularity, but how well they work compared to other warriors. If we talk about pounds for pounds, which is a popularity competition, the name should be changed to “the most popular list of fighters”.

Crawford vs. Canelo: generational fight or junk food?
Published

Terenka Crawford calls his clash with Canelo Alvarez “Generational fight “ What he believes that he will “talk for years” when they meet on September 13 in Las Vegas. Fans don’t see it that way.
Fans do not agree: fight “junk food”
This fight is seen as junk food and will be forgotten immediately. Alvarez and Crawford are senior. Casuals, who perceive this fight as similar to Sugar Ray Leonard, moving to medium weight to fight Marvin Hagler, do not know what they are talking about. Crawford is not as talented as Sugar Ray, and Canelo is not at Hagler’s level who fought Leonard.
They consider it strange, from Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), who approaches several divisions and received an immediate shot against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO). This is not a fight for which he asked the audience from Canelo. They did not press the Mexican star to fight another smaller warrior, especially the senior one approaching 40.
Some fans perceive this as a way to avoid complex fights that want to see how it took place against David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiew. The 168-Funt division was emptied with Benavidez and David Morrell, passing to 175. What was left in the top four did not show interest in the fight. He would prefer to face Crawford.
“I wanted to go from 147 to 168 just because I wanted to challenge myself, and this is joy,” said Crawford Ring magazine About why he decides to go to Super Middle weight to get a elementary title with the undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Crawford omits the role in which he raises for money, because it is not really a challenge. If he were about it, he would move to 168 and take the best pretenders who are waiting in line for a well -deserved title.
If it was a challenge, Crawford would show that he is worthy, beating these contenders in Super Middle Wweight
– Christian Milli
– Diego Pacheco
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Caleb plant
– Edgar Berlanga
“It’s a struggle for heritage. This is generations [money] fight. It will talk about it for years, “said Crawford.” I feel that I got speed above Canelo. I got coverage. It may be size, power [youth and toughness]But I got better skills. Everyone says: “Man, you are crazy.” Yes. All my life I have fought with people greater than me. I’ve always been maneuvering and I always went to the top – said Crawford.
Terenca disappearing skills, Canelo fuel tank
The skills are equal. Crawford’s last fight with Israil Madrimov showed that he was qualified and had to rely on his better engine to win a narrow decision.
Madrimov had a better technical ability than Crawford, but allowed him to fight in championship rounds. Israil still deserved to win based on his more complex, cleaner shots in the eighth round. However, Terenka was a page A, so it was obvious why he won. I had it 8-4 for Madrimov. He looked like the GGG version in the era and could not miss his right hands.
Canelo has sufficient technical ability to win, but its fuel tank is the only problem that could stop him. If it disappears after four rounds, as we saw in his last three fights, Crawford can enter and steal him in master rounds, as he did against Madrimov.
“Crawford, though great, is effective in a welterweight to 168,” said Chris Mannix.
That’s true. Crawford is basically a welterweight, an senior one that may not have enough to defeat Alvarez. Fighting once a year from 2020, it is doubtful whether Terenka will be edged enough to beat Canelo. He looked like he lost a lot of fight with Errola Spence Jr. In 2023, in the expression of a 13-month dismissal to challenge Madrimov for the title of WBA Junior Middle Wich on August 3, 2024.

Caleb Plant vs. Resendiz: Incompatibility or nervousness?
Published
2 hours agoon
May 25, 2025
The Caleb Plant for the first time defended its momentary WBA title Super Middle Wweight against the tough Jose Armando Resendiz on Saturday, May 31, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be displayed in PBC Championship Boxing in Prime Video.
It is a mismatch on paper, because the plant is a more experienced warrior with excellent technical ability to School Resendiz. However, the youth and resistance of the Resendiz do it potentially arduous for the native native plant in Tennessee.
Ignored title defense?
Caleb’s fight did not arouse much interest because it does not cover a significant pretender. People mainly ignored the fight and factor of Jermalla Charlo and the journeyman Thomas Lamanna.
Fans perceive it as a gimm for the “Sweethands” plant to win. People are more interested in watching the plant, 31, fighting with Edgar Berlanga, Christian Mbilli, David Benavidez or Canelo Alvarez. If Caleb had his way, he would fight these guys.
Plant (23-2, 14 KO) needs an impressive win on the Resendiz (15-2, 11 KO) to stay in hunting for a rematch against Canelo.
“This is a way to reach the title of World Champion,” said Caleb plant to Dan Rafael YouTube Channel, telling about the reasons for the fight against the little -known Jose Armando Resendiz on Saturday. “I feel that I have paid many boxes in boxing and always raised my hand to step on the front line on anyone who.”
None of the Restendiz fights has been simple for him in the last four years, losing to Elijah Garcia and Marcos Hernandez. The battles, which he won against Jarrett Hurd and Fernando, were wars. He didn’t look great in any of them. His ability to absorb punishment and continue the fight survived him.
If the Restendiz can pull the plant into one of these types of fights, it can be able to overtake it based on teenage people. Caleb is not a spring chicken at the age of 31, and in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year in September last year September last year in September last year.
Plant’s Canelo Dream
“Having the opportunity to become a momentary master, knowing that I can fight for a champion or worst case scenario, I can go to a regular one, and then be mandatory for a great title again,” said Plant. “Regardless of whether it is Canelo, whether he will release him and retire, I am fighting for someone else. A momentary title, I am grateful for the next belt, but it’s about more titles.”
If the plant is raised to the WBA master, this may turn out to be a sizzling potato for him, because he will have to deal with fighters such as Betemir Melikuziv, Lester Martinez and Christian Mbilli. It would not be the same money that Caleb had the fight against Canelo in 2021.
“He moved to 168 and he has a victory there. This is a great moment for him. I know he is putting a lot into it,” Planty said about Resendiz. “It can be a life that changes life for him, but it is also for me the moment when he retains my title and hear the words” and still “.
The plant has a momentary WBA title 168-pound, not the one that counts. Of course, he hopes that this belt will lead to another lucrative payment against Canelo Alvarez. The questionable plant will have another opportunity to fight the Mexican star, again escalate $ 10 million plus. This will require much more for Caleb than to defeat RESENDIZ and TREVOR MCCUMBY to get a rematch with Alvarez.
“I know that he comes with everything he has. He has a good coach, Manny Robles. He is tough but arduous,” Planty said about coach Resendiz.
The plant may need to keep action outside against Resendiz if it wants to win. The Mexican warrior has good power and is a much younger guy. The 31 -year -old Plant is antique 31 and in the last four years has made many punishments against Canelo. Alvarez, David Benavidez and Trevor McCumbby.

The bitter, childish -sounding Tyson Fury has published today in social media, saying that “there is nothing to prove” and “I am retired.” Former heavyweight master WBC said he was “demolished” and used.
Postycki Post of the Cyński King seems to refer to his not making decisions in the last two fights with Oleksandr Usyk, which he thought he should have won. Tyson claims he is joyful and remains retired because he has already achieved everything.
The fear of the Gypsy king
The truth is that fury seems unhappy and tortured every day by his two losses for Uyk. It must be persecution as Oleksandr revealed him as a false one and cannot bear it. He doesn’t want to go back to the ring, because if he did, he would have to face the truth about himself. He simply was never an elite warrior at the level.
Fury’s career came from a narrow victory of over 39-year-old Vladimir Klitschko and a badly defective Deontaya Wilder. Take these two victories and you have nothing. Fury did not beat anyone. He used these victories to gather a huge fortune without having to defeat fighters at the elite level in the last 10 years.
Showing the view of water in an ideal environment, Fury said: “Why should I come back?” In other words, he has a gentle life of one of Nouveau Riche with a net value estimated at $ 160 million. This is only Foxhole, in which fury can hide to avoid beating by virtually every warrior at the highest level.
Uses photos of the perfect life Camouflage his fear processing by killers in the division. What Fury did is nothing compared to what some of the puncher would do if he decided to continue the fight.
Why fury remains retired
“I hear a lot of conversations about the Gypsy king returning to boxing and I will ask a question about it. Why would I come back? More boxing belts? [I] He won 22 of them – wrote Fury. “I was printed. That’s all, Fair Play for them. They had me, but I’m joyful. I’m joyful, joyful with what I did, what I achieved, what I achieved, I was all over the world and back, and here we are.
“This is what a pension looks like for a gypsy king. He is not too shabby. I was not in a hurry to go back to boxing, and they pronounce my face? Why would I come back? I asked this question. Here I am retired and remain retired. I have nothing that has proven, and I have nothing to come back.”
Fury knows that if he was still fighting, he would be even worse by Anthony Joshu, Daniel Dubois, Agit Kabayel, Joseph Parker and almost all 15 best pretenders in the division.
“I have nothing to prove”
Tyson Fury apparently denied the report that he had a return to boxing.
Do you think we’ll see how Gypsy King comes out of the pension? 👀
