I’ve been high on this kid since day one. When once lil fat boy became youngest world champ. That tells you something.
I remember years ago when Jose Benavidez was working with Freddie Roach, there was video in wild card gym about trainers speaking highly of David about his skill even though he was a tall fat kid lol
this guy is nothing but a bum, let him fight with callum smith and then we`ll start talking
I've never understood perspectives like this. "NOTHING BUT A BUM". Does one not realize the impact of such a statement ? That's saying, the only option for this guy...is to be a bum. He's not even a contender, a prospect, or a decent fighter.
Do we hear how absurd that sounds ? So...he has to beat the CONSENUS #1 SMW in the world, to even be in the conversation as "elite" ? Again, how absurd is that ? So that means out of 100 fighters at 168, 2 or 3 are good and the rest are BUMS ???
The Benavidez conversation started a good while ago, when he became the youngest SMW Champion of the World. He's now the youngest 2X SMW Champion of the World.
IMO, if you are not impressed with David Benavidez, you cannot really be a fan of boxing or you have some messed up bias that is affecting your attitude. You don't have to love the guy or be a big supporter, but if you can't acknowledge he's in the top 3 in his division, you are foolish.
A top 3 fighter is a BUM ? We really should be more responsible with the words we choose. Unfortunately, the anonymous nature of the internet makes it easy to speak irresponsibly.
David is the complete package speed., skill, power chin the kid is a beast.
I agree with you bro , 100%. Imagine when he gets more experience & his man strength, he's gonna be a monster.
He's growing, getting stronger, smarter, improving his skills at 22.
If he keeps going at this rate, he could reign for a very long time.
Smith, Saunders, and Canelo may be future victims.
Didn’t think that was a overly impressive performance
He obviously earned and deserved that W and his size with constant come forward style would be a nightmare to face
Direll showed a fighter with good movement / Boxing skills can get a decision off Benavidez and it probably would be that a close of a fight
please he would KO canelol did u see that jab he has and the power punches combinations?
No I haven't seen the fight yet cause I live in Australia and Australia sux.
Can you see him beating Canelo now or would he still need some more fights?

He is one mean mofo. The kid is only 21 and already looking mean. If he works on his footwork, he can become something
Yea at 21 Sky is the limit for him. Gonna be interesting in the next few years as he fills out because i don't see him staying at 168 for long.
I’ve been saying it for a while David is a beast the best smw today and hasn’t even peaked yet.
Skies the limit for him.
