He doesn't have a one punch knockout power but he’s a solid puncher, he can hurt any super middleweight opponent even without accumulation which comes easily for him with his gas tank and hand speed. When he does loads up on his punches, he stops his opponents on their tracks like he did against stylistically crafty fighters like Plant and Andrade, He got them both into the body, and left their faces a lumping mess after he caught them. He had also stunned heavy punchers like Lemieux and Angulo backtracking them whenever they got too close for comfort. There is a reason why the guy has 86% stoppage rate. (By the way I am not insinuating that Lemieux was a difficult opponent, he just knew how to handle him).
Both fighters are tailor made for each other since they will both fight forward and engage, however David isn't no stiff Callum Smith or John Ryder, defense wise he is closer to a Daniel Jacobs and GGG in their prime, Benavidez is also physically bigger than both of them and has an insane output with high precision. While in the other hand, Canelo's defense and stamina has degraded, where he overly relies only in throwing hard punches before trying to recover and throwing 3-5 punches per round while slowly stalking his opponent. Reason why aggressive big punchers with a degree of defense like a heavily declined GGG and Ryder who came off a controversial decision win over a declined Jacobs, managed to put a better fight than Saunders and Plant. He might not have the mobile slick footwork of Bivol, but he has a higher output and reach, plus he has more punching power to boot. That's why I think he be a nightmare for Canelo to deal with. If Canelo wins, then Kudos to him.
