Canelo has a lot of attributes that his fellow Mexicans do not. Granted Benavidez is probably one of them. Too bad Canelo won't give him the chance to prove it against him, but Benavidez is carving out his own path. I'm not sure if he'll become mega super star though unless he himself beats a mega star. It's basically a passing of the torch situation that is needed. If Benavidez could get Canelo and beat him, I could see him having a very high chance because the casuals that just follow Canelo will now follow Benavidez.
    Thats not how it works. Beating Canelo does not automatically make u a star, u have to already have star qualities. Bivol beat Canelo and didnt become a star because he doesnt have star qualities. I dont think Benavidez does either. There honestly isn't too many boxers that have superstar marketability.

      Please, you know what am talking about. His resume is full of has been and 2nd tier boxers, he is exactly what we think he is, a well managed boxer made to make money(nothing wrong with that) not for legacy, jusy like canelo, no surprise they share a common denominator. The bar has going down so low that a guy that only fight old past their prime fighters, and domestic level boxers while avoiding without a shame his most dangerous opponents is considered great.
      So Canelo is a well managed boxer that was made for money and not legacy? Canelo, BY FAR, has the best resume in boxing and is one of the greatest Mexican boxers of all time, if not the best.

        Please, are we doing this again? Resume? I agreed that compare to his contemporaries is decent, but Usyk and beterbiev had faced better competition, and won. If not mention the killers canelo has face and win, without controversy, boxers over 35yo are not allowed because if ginger is old at 33yo, 35yo is ancient, please go ahead and mention those names, if not don't bring resume no more.

          I know it doesn't instantly make you a star because you require additional qualities. I did point that out in some other posts here, but I DO think Benavidez has them. Or at least if he had more chances to show up, folks would attach to him. He does speak loud and proud during the interviews and for most casuals where that is as far as they go to see a boxer's personality and it would help him.

          I know Bivol didn't become a star, but he did boost his stock tremendously. Especially for the Canelo haters. They flocked to Bivol for what he did. Though this is going off track really. I'm still trying to see who has star quality drawing power when Canelo is out and the dust settles.

            I love Usyk and Beterbiev but they have not faced better competition than Canelo. At all.
