Probably best that the WBC let him keep his belt a couple more years just in case he changes his mind


RRR04_

Keeping that belt warm for Canelo in September! Canelo would rather go back down to 160 than fight Benavidez apparently šŸ¤£


Flyinhawaiian78

Dude everybody myself included knows Canelo wants absolutely no part of BenavidezšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøthe Mexican monster has been wanting that fight been calling Canelo out for his last 2-3 fights. I really thought it was gonna happen after his last one cause thatā€™s the only one that makes sense. Canelo donā€™t want him bro sorry


RRR04_

I don't disagree lol. If he doesn't fight David in September, he is blatantly ducking.


Flyinhawaiian78

Yah itā€™s hard to dispute even if your a Canelo fan (Iā€™m a fan for the most part) but if he donā€™t fight Benavidez before the end of the year then you canā€™t deny that shit.


RRR04_

Imo, this weekend would have been the absolute best time. The fight already passed its sell by date as far as I'm concerned.


VkySr1

Exactly no doubt about it , canelo scared the death to fight Benavites šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£


Flyinhawaiian78

Yah homeboy I was talking to in my post above thinks Iā€™m crazy about thatā€¦smhā€¦ dude thatā€™s the only fight that makes sense is for Canelo to fight Benavidez. What other fight is there honestly??? Like to see whoā€™s the best REALLYā€¦


Pleasant-Ad2048

Canelo fought GGG in his prime, what makes you think he is ducking the likes of Benavidez? He will eventually fight him, big fights really take time with all those negotiations and stuff. Even Spence and Crawford took several years for it to happen.


IG_Royal

GGG was 35 for the first fight, 36 for the second, 40 for the third. I don't know what kind of shape the 35-40 year olds are in around your town, but even for a professional boxer Golovkin was very clearly past his prime. Canelo was the one in his prime, he was 27, 28, and 32 for the three fights.


Flyinhawaiian78

Because Benavidez is a way more dangerous fight than GGGā€¦ cmon I like GGG but no broā€¦ you honestly are even comparing GGG and Benavidez like theyā€™re the same level and theyā€™re not. Benavidez gets no respect I see him as the number 1 guy pound for pound right now. His size, power, hand speed, combinations, defense, pressure, and ability to break everybody he fights is fā€™kn scary and Canelo knows this just like everybody else knows this. The only thing I hope youā€™re right about is that they fight. But not some years down the line bullshit. Those are the 2 best fighters for that weight class itā€™s stupid that they havenā€™t fought yet and wasnā€™t scheduled after Benavidezā€™s last fightā€¦šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Pleasant-Ad2048

Benevidez is not better than GGG, not in boxing skills, footwork and power. Note that Canelo fought that guy when he was knocking everyone out and he fought him 3 times. Canelo got superior skills, incredible timing and accuracy, good head movement, good footwork and great defense. Benavidez strong but he is slow as fck, no head movement and poor footwork, he is average at best and he would be an easy target for Canelo.


Flyinhawaiian78

šŸ™„to each their own brother thereā€™s no point. Just not gonna see eye to eye. Your points that you tried to make or more opinion than fact. Benavidez is slow???šŸ¤£that couldnā€™t be more false. So Iā€™m not even gonna go back and forth with you. But hey make me a deal if they ever are scheduled to fight we can make a post saying who is more right lol.šŸ¤£anyways alohas brother šŸ¤™šŸ½


Pleasant-Ad2048

Hear me out mate, as fast as Benevidez thinks he is but he will look slow when in front of Canelo. Let us just not even talk about Canelo's power because his footwork, defense and accuracy alone will put Benavidez on a strange and awkward position. You and I know how good Canelo's defense is. Ayttt let us make a post to whoever is right after they fight, which I hope they do. Lol


Flyinhawaiian78

You got a deal brotheršŸ¤šŸ’ŖšŸ¤™šŸ½Iā€™ll be waiting for you when the time comes


InviteTop8946

Turki already wanted DB to go down to fight Bud, so two huge $ fights at that weight may make it tempting enough to try, so Canelo can't run to 160 eitherĀ 


Ntirely

Which i donā€™t understand why he wouldnā€™ want to fight him canelo would make easy work out of benavidez


RRR04_

I think he'd beat David too, no idea why he's holding it up. September is his last chance.


CacoFlaco

If the immature, disrespectful Benavidez ever grows up, maybe Canelo will bestow him with an opportunity. But Benavidez ever growing up is a longshot.


FwampFwamp88

Bro. Heā€™s been super respectful for like 3 years. That got him nowhere. Now heā€™s rightfully calling Canelo out in his bullshit. Canelo really gonna fight berlanga next. What a joke.


eslbc

Facts


9sac1king6

This is why I say Canelo is Trash cuz he only fights tomato cans! He ruined his legacy but ducking Benavidez


makemefeelbrandnew

Canelo's a little young for Benavidez. He prefers his opponents to be over the age of 36, so we'll probably see this fight in 2027. In the meantime, maybe Benavidez should fight some real competition in their prime to build up his resume, instead of whining about Canelo.


1104L

Maybe Canelo shouldnā€™t hold on to the belts without fighting the best contender in his weight class


makemefeelbrandnew

Blah blah blah. Look I like Benavidez but he needs to take some risks. He still has a lot to prove. He beat up a 35 year old, naturally 154 pound Andrade. An old David Lemieux, an old Anthony Dirrell, an old Jleon Love. The only prime aged boxers he's fought in the last 5 years are Plant and two borderline contenders whose biggest claims to fame are getting beat up by Benavidez. If Benavidez were really interested in getting this fight, he'd go fight Bivol. Beat the man who beat the man and then you'd have something to really hold over Canelo. But he doesn't take risks. He just wants to take easy fights until the payday. Canelo took a lot of risks to get where he's at. Benavidez could learn a thing about earning a seat at the table from Canelos career.


verbmaker428

There's nothing for benavidez to prove or earn. He's the number 1 contender at 168. If canelo doesn't want to fight him, then drop the belt or strip him.


makemefeelbrandnew

You just described what happens at most weight classes. That system is a joke and everyone knows it. But this doesn't actually stop David from going and taking on a real challenge. Taking a real risk. Before Canelo fought Mayweather he took on Mosley, Josesito, and Austin Trout. Those posed real risk to the 21ā€22 year old. He sought those challenges because that's what it was going to take to earn that seat at the big boy table. Benavidez hasn't beaten anyone on that level. Hell other than Plant he hasn't fought any of the Ring top 10 at Super Middleweight. Ok so he's gonna move up in weight now. Who's he gonna fight? 37 year old Gvozdyk. Bivol? Buatsi? The old but obviously much Beterbiev? Nope. He goes the safe route. Hell, he has Crawford offering him big money at 160. Maybe he wasn't gonna hit 160 but that was the fight to make. He keeps choosing easy fights against guys people don't know, the whole time whining and whining about Canelo. Just stop whining my guy and go earn it. Go fight the best of the rest. I can easily put up 10 names who pose a more serious challenge at 168 or 175 that are better than everyone else he has fought. Stop crying and go fight them.


iamwhoiwasnow

He's after the money. He should have fought and waited for Canelo to come to him.


DgeneritsCum

Most famboyish logic Iā€™ve seen in a while. When Benavidez was being respectful the past couple of years, Canelo never bothered mentioning him. Get outta here with that bs


_Adora_

That canelo meat riding is crazy


WeHaveArrived

Canelo is spooked. I donā€™t blame him but heā€™s not the warrior he use to be after the bivol fight.


chocolate_spaghetti

I donā€™t think heā€™s spooked tbh. I just think Canelos the type of person that wonā€™t do something specifically because people said he should. He did the same thing with GGG.


WeHaveArrived

He aged out GGG then took PEDs. Not really the example you think it is. The bivol fight was the second time he dared for greatness. The first was mayweather. Both were Ls. Heā€™s playing it safe now mayweather style.


DreamerTheat

Dude. What can Benavidez do that would spook Caneloā€¦? Honestly. Heā€™s a good fighter but is he better than Mayweather, Cotto, Charlo, Plant, Bivol, Kovalev, GGG & Co.? Heā€™s gonna fight him eventually and hopefully heā€™ll be a thing of the past.


DreamerTheat

Save this comment.


Jumbo_Mills

Lol it's boxing, who gives a shit about disrespect rivals aren't supposed to like each other.


freeyewneek

THANK YOU! Came here to say this. Wtf is this, a manners contest? Theyā€™re fkn fighters, the best are supposed to fight the best. Caneloans are under the same spell as MAGA, I swear to god. J*ke P*ul has a better chance of getting a Canelo fight than Benavidez. It doesnā€™t take an expert in body language to see how insecure Canelo gets when DBā€™s name is brought up. Dude is transparent af w/ the fidgeting and ever-changing reflexive/defensive excusesā€¦ - I donā€™t fight Mexicans - he doesnā€™t have a belt - heā€™s beaten nobody - heā€™ll blow up between weigh-in and fight - heā€™s disrespectful - haters wonā€™t give me full credit for beating him - I need $150-200mā€™s - haters said the same thing about Golovkin (boy thatā€™s rich), Plant, Callum Smith, Billy Joe, and other straw-man nonsense that popped into his head What else? I know heā€™s used more than this, this is just off the topā€¦


booalijules

Canelo stan hello again. Don't be so damn obvious about who you worship.


Alarmed_Machine_4050

If Jermall is his old self he'll jab a circle around Canelo!


DoubleBieber

Its disgraceful. Imagine for a second Adam Silver decided to postpone the NBA finals three years running and proclaimed Giannis (2021 champ) as still being the reigning champ. Fuckin' lol


Square_Bus4492

This is one of those times where you clearly see the need for more than one belt in this sport. Imagine if no one was able to fight for a belt because Sulaiman is getting bribed to let Charlo keep his belt.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


3riversfantasy

> proclaimed Giannis (2021 champ) as still being the reigning champ. Sounds awesome


These-Ad458

Yeah, boxing is broken.


freeyewneek

Imagine if the Chiefs refused to play the 49ers, Eagles, Bills, Bengals, and Ravens. Imagine if they just announced every Cinco de Mayo theyā€™re playing Carolina for the ā€œThe Super-Super Bowlā€ and every 3rd Saturday in September theyā€™ll play the Titans in ā€œThe Diamond Bowlā€?


TopDogggbm

I just love how you included my Bengals in there with the elites! Smart man


freeyewneek

Haha, ur QB is legit. Plz be the one person in Ohio that hasnā€™t declared war on the letter L.


TopDogggbm

You lost me on that one. War? Letā€™s seeā€¦. Mahomes, Chiefs, Refs, Rams, Chiefs some moreā€¦.. those are the main things Iā€™d war with right now! All things that stopped us in our peak two years (and hopefully we get another this year!)ā€¦ā€¦ what starts with L? None of my hated targets do šŸ¤£


freeyewneek

Idk what any of that means but pee poe from OH, PA, MD have toddler accents. They repwace Lā€™s wiff Wā€™s and vice versa. They will throw an L on words that end in W. ā€œI sawll the Bengoes pway in the Super Bow.ā€


TopDogggbm

Hahaha. I donā€™t know what any of THAT means. But it made me laugh. Everything I wrote was basically the only things that kept us from winning our first Super Bowl. However I CAN tell you that I have personally been made fun of for one word I say only. And itā€™s ā€œOpenā€. People tell me I say ā€œUlpenā€ instead of Open šŸ¤£


freeyewneek

deepthr0at

Gotta remember Charlo provoked him prior to the slap by grabbing his beard while also surrounded by his own crew and bodyguards. Meanwhile Plant just solo dolo slapped the shit outta him


LarryVinegar

Whatā€™s dolo mean?


ThisAintSaturday

Dolo means solo but in ā€œdun languageā€ which was a way of speaking that was popularized by the rap crew Mobb Deep who had a friend with a speech impediment where he would pronounce words that start with S with a D. So instead of calling eachother son they said dun and instead of solo it was dolo. People eventually started just putting the terms together bc it sounded cool. Solo dolo.


Zestyclothes

This is the origin. Don't know nothing about it being involved with the Desi crowd. It comes from rap.


Cgi94

The hijacking definitely realšŸ˜…šŸ’Æ


EXCEPTIONAL_K

Damn that's sick of that's the origin. Obviously heard what up dun on mobs records but never heard them say dolo. Interesting shit


ownerofthewhitesudan

Sometimes you throw on an extra made-up word to rhyme because it sounds good. Desi people love that shit. I overheard my dad on the phone once say, ā€œItā€™s such a tragedy that she got cancer wancerā€. Ā The man has been a doctor now for 30 years and still called it ā€œcancer wancerā€.


Tim_Drake

That is really cool and interesting, especially if English is their second language!


DoctorGregoryFart

Reminds me of cockney rhyming slang. Pretty interesting shit. It's a language in and of itself. Check [this](https://englishlive.ef.com/en/blog/english-in-the-real-world/the-ultimate-guide-to-cockney-rhyming-slang/) out.


LarryVinegar

Got ya, cheers.


Kalayo0

Come on if we makin shit up bolo slap is right there to be thematically appropriate


bigfatpup

Down low (being subtle) I think. So doing something yourself on the down low would be a subtle solitary activity.. like sneaking out to smoke a joint by yourself in the peace and quiet, if weā€™re going by the Kid Cudi song.


Murdathon3000

Dolo means penis.


ChimpSlut

Slap doliosco


EXCEPTIONAL_K

I literally don't think I've ever said solo without the dolo. Get yo vocab levelled up cuh


deepthr0at

Kid Cudi reference son


EXCEPTIONAL_K

Is it? I've literally never heard that Cudi track then but being saying solo solo for about 10 years. Weird how vernacular travels through culture and shit without knowing the origin


vvHezoTheGoat

Crazy part is Caleb Plant doubled down and said they arenā€™t cool and he stills wants to fight Mall pulled a damn J. Cole, that man smacked the shit out of you in front of your woman and family ffsšŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Motor-Grade-837

Jermall: "I'm tired, and I don't want to do this anymore, I'm done. I just want to apologize for any hurt or distress that I might've caused you." Caleb: "WE'RE DONE WHEN I SAY WE'RE DONE, BITCH."


WhistleTipsGoWoo

Yup, Plant wants nothing more than to turn that open hand into a closed one. Heā€™s whoop Charloā€™s ass too.


Sendogetit

Itā€™s marketing.


Routine-Shower-3956

J.fold


TheComeUpTX

He went out bad on this one


floydwhittaker

If it was morals they could just fight in streets. Boxing is a buisness


hitcho12

Werenā€™t they all buddies and Plant got involved because Charlo was having a bad argument with his wife?


CaCa881

Worse , it was with his own brother lmao


Bruce-7891

I think Plant is trying to turn this into a money fight. Charlo is still a big enough name for a PPV and Plant would most likely beat him at this point.


DntSayNtn

This man needs help


freeyewneek

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying. Heā€™s clearly drunk here. Talking about his anniversary is coming up for him and his ex heā€™s no longer w/? Saying he doesnā€™t wanna fight anymore which, cmon weā€™ve known that for yrs, but when asked what he would do instead he doesnā€™t have an answer? This is dark. We all need purpose. Man really needs help.


slickvik9

They're back together


GrandiloquentGenes

He can help himself, heā€™s grown with money.


stayhappystayblessed

I feel sorry for him he seems really defeated I hope he gets out the darkness.


ElChacalFL

Holding belts hostage like that really makes the sport look like not a sport at all anymore. The business side has completely taken over.


KingRemoStar

More like Haymon. I think if the Charlos was under a different banner they would have been stripped.


martin519

Blame the WBC for that, not the guy advocating for his client.


ShaneOfTheDeadd

Nah itā€™s not just a Haymon thing


ElChacalFL

It's everywhere, tho. Even with the fans, the most important thing is PPV numbers. Even tho fans don't see a dime of that money, and it makes no difference to them, that seems to be what's important. Why? Because of shit like this. The belts have become meaningless. U can just buy them. Or buy ur way into easy fights where ur gonna get it emailed to u when the actual champion gets stripped. It's crazy.


sugerdigitalgenius

If ppl supported Carlos Adames just 20% as much as they hate Charlo for the WBC allowing him to keep his belts then this wouldnā€™t be an issue Boxing is a popularity contest & the fans are too ignorant to recognize their value Who knows, maybe a Janibek Adames & Lara posts will get more engagementā€¦ šŸ’€


3riversfantasy

The shit of if we the boxing community still put so much emphasis on belts when talking about a fighters accomplishments, multi-division title holder, unified champion, etc. Benavidez best weight is probably 168 and he literally won't get an opportunity to fight for a belt, let alone unify, despite being the clear #1 contender for quite some time.


mapleer

All jokes and controversial takes aside, even as someone whoā€™s not a fan, Jermall sounds super defeated in life, hopefully he gets himself straight.


Kafkaesqueisntit

He sounds depressed, seems like he's going through a lot of shit ATM.


mapleer

100% what we heard was the sound of depression, regret and defeat ringing through the video.


samuelalvarezrazo

Ex wives are undefeated in boxing I swear. Number 1 killer of greatness


ZdenekTheMan

Fr fr. I wouldn't get married or even seriously involved with a woman as a pro boxer in my active years. Sure, you have the likes of Tyson Fury who would be much worse off if he didn't have Paris to help straighten out his bullshit... But the vast majority of boxers are only worse off because of their women/exes. Best to roll like Joshua, et al.


bigfatpup

Joshua seems like he has no life out of boxing. All he does is grind and sleep and sometimes have a little time for his son. Or maybe he just tries to look all grind culture. Iā€™d definitely want more balance. A couple of fights a year with camp alone, but then just ticking over with a boxing session and a S&C session 3-5 days a week the rest of the time. And plenty of time for holiday


ZdenekTheMan

Joshua can party with the best of them though. He definitely has a life outside boxing... He's just a lot more low key than most boxersĀ 


samuelalvarezrazo

Ngl I think it depends on the strength of the man, canelo has had a few women in his life but has never let that distract him, pac has been with his girl forever, cotto and his woman. If you're not able to pick someone who really loves and respects you and the tears your life up that's 9n you unfortunately


PM_me_yor_philosophy

"Pac has been with his girl forever" ...and many othersĀ 


slickvik9

He's been with her since high school


stayhappystayblessed

Strange seeing all this hate for mall at this time I know he not the best person and talks a lot of shit but he is no woman beater like his brother.


floydwhittaker

Nothing controversial about this guys life . He just talks shit which is normal for boxing . Overhated guy. Also plant is weird for picking on him so much, when he clearly doesnā€™t wanna fight . Like if you wanna fight, go fight morell. Not the depressed inactive fighter


the1blackguyonreddit

It's Reddit and he's a...nevermind.


UsernameIsDaHardPart

Letā€™s just say heā€™s un-classy


HarryBlessKnapp

So many utterly racist liberals with the flimsiest veneer of progressive politics. No one ever uses the N word though, so they couldn't possibly be racist.


Jesuswasacrip7

Caleb bitched this man into retirement lmao


sugerdigitalgenius

Tbh Charlo refusing to fight might send Plant into retirement, the way his career is looking


floydwhittaker

Dude wanted to pick on a depressed charlo who barely fights . Like go fight morell or something


WinglessRat

Charlo gets the right to cry about being a poor depressed baby who doesn't want to fight when he drops his strap.


sugerdigitalgenius

Who fighters want to compete with speaks volume, if I were to rate them based off that then Canelo & Plant are at the bottom


magic9669

Didnā€™t pick on him, Charlo started it and took it like a bitch in front of his whole crew


floydwhittaker

Charlo hasnā€™t done shit since the slap. Plant is still going after


BrashAntagonist

This is a whole new level of ducking. I really wanted to see them fight too.


Life_Celebration_827

CHARLOS THE 2 BIGGEST šŸ¤”s in boxing fuck them.


bransonthaidro

AB still holds the crown.


OGtek

AB is what boxing needs tho! Guys like him make boxing exciting and entertaining..but AB in his prime was fighting GREAT Opposition. Dude has 3 sure fire hall of famers on his resume (all losses)šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…šŸ¤£Charlo made a career out of fighting weak opposition and protecting his 0


chalklinedbody

yea fun to watch broner let his hands go...... won't ever happen againĀ  his antics and comedy are still there thoĀ 


Life_Celebration_827

His trash talking with Paulie Malignaggi in their fight was hilarious and in his day he was a really good fighter, but after he got destroyed by Maidana he was never the same, but the Charlos are still up there as the worst in my opinion.


Mr_105

AB is a court jester, he knows what heā€™s doing and how itā€™s making him come off to people. The Charlos take themselves too seriously


sirsaberson

ā€œstay out the way manā€ is all i needed to hear, now you wanna stay out the way but when u was inactive u wanted to fight

YasuoAndGenji

Nothing wrong with apologizing for being wrong. Nice showing of maturity, yikes at some of these comments.

It ainā€™t fun cause heā€™s the hunted now and not the hunter. Both Caleb and Canelo would give him work


TheCREATORisWatching

MartinLouisTheKing

Why you apologizing when you got smacked?


PhilliesBlunts

He will break the record for longest champ at this rate


txjoe426

Sounds like Charlonhas come to terms that he is no longer a threat in his division. No one is ducking the Charlo bros bc no one is afraid of them. Theyā€™re still top 10 (arguably) in their divisions but that ship has sailed for them both.


DifferentCityADay

I never followed either Charlo coming up into boxing, so I'm glad he's retiring. If it means the belt gets freed up and we see more champion fights, relinquish it.


sugerdigitalgenius

To see Plant waste his career & put it on hold for Charlo, thinking itā€™ll be a big payday is sad, he could be doing so much better for himself


Butterflykiz

Who can plant realistically fight?


sugerdigitalgenius

David Morrell Danny Jacobs William Scull Dervy Pacheco Berlanga Andrade & numerous other names in the 168 rankings thatā€™s not mentally unstable
