Benavidez is made to order for Canelo. That massive torso and long arms of his will get busted up just like Calum Smith, except David will probably put up more of a fight. Canelo is too dense and crafty. Plant can maybe take some lessons from the Saunders fight in terms of what to do, what not to do, but will still get broken down. Not enough power or elusiveness
Comparing Benavidez to Callum smith is laughable as they are two totally different types of fighters apart from being the same height. Smith is an avg puncher, sluggish and passive without a good jab, which enabled Canelo to just walk him down.
Benavidez on the other hand, has amazing hand speed, very good power, a great sharp jab, and is a very aggressive fighter with a mean streak, so how the hell is Canelo going to get to the body? You think he will walk benavidez down when he has those attributes?
Fantasy. No idea how you can think a fast young aggressive 6'2 power puncher is custom made for Canelo. Nightmare match up for Canelo imo.
Have only seen a bit of plant, he looks slicker and sharper than BJS, but also lacks pop. I think he is capable of dancing and winning a decision vs canelo but he would not be favorite, as he lacks the power to keep Canelo honest.
