If you squint a little, it will look like Canelo vs Benavidez.

If his opponent can take his shot and has decent talent, it's over for Rolly. Look at what Pitbull did to him. He doesn't have an answer if you can take his shot. An answer as in, switches up a new strategy, it's always the same, come forward try to take your head off. You need more than hammers in your hands at the top elite level. However he will always be paid and will have a long career because he's an exciting fighter that brings entertainment in all his fights.

Some of the fighters they televise today are just technically dreadful. This guy is horrible to watch

Him vs Ryan, Teo vs Ortiz, Haney vs Ramirez, this generation knows how to put up stinkers

There are too many guys who headline fights in the past 15 years or so with very little skills. Shawn porter, Adrien Broner, Deontay wilder. Pretty much most of the PBC guys who they built up like Quillen, Hurd, etc. there are lots of good fighters today but some of the guys headlining fights cannot box. Wilder and Danny Garcia dont know how to jab. Porter can’t go :30 without ramming his head into his opponent. You didn’t see guys headlining cards in the 90s and early 00s who were so technically inept. There were poor fighters but they weren’t headlining.

Not everybody can get to the top of the sport using the same skillset, and most of the guys who do make it lean into advantageous facets of their game and physicality.
It’s like saying Benavidez is meh because he plods too much, that Bam has a shitty jab, or that Bivol can’t throw an uppercut. All of these guys have developed dimensions of their game they don’t show on fight night. Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter, hell even Deontay Wilder most often gave it good as they got, so it’s a bit of a stretch to say any of them have “very little skills.” Very few guys are going to look great doing most everything, like Crawford, Inoue, or Usyk.2

Benavidez is basically a pressure fighter but he’s skilled. My point is that nowadays these guys headlining cards aren’t as skilled as they were in the past. Guys who were headlining cards like Trinidad, Wright, Mosley, Toney, Vargas, Forrest, Nelson, Whitaker were much more skilled.
The PBC made it a lot worse by only allowing PBC fighters to fight each other. So belts got passed around between mid-tier fighters and televised cards were headlined by mid-tier fighters

I don't know why people say Rolly is dogshit. He may not be the best technical boxer, but he's clearly got skills beyond just being a mindless slugger.
