Can Callum box well enough to see a decision. Mexican David isn't exactly a master at cutting the ring off
if there is anyone Mexican David should be able to stop at 175, it's Callum
Callum was hurt by a left hook to the body by Euro Level Athlete Buatsi
left hook downstairs is David's favorite punch
Callum should be Mexican David's best performance at 175
Benavidez faded in the championship rounds against Morrell and Gvozdyk
Because he’s a monster weight cutter 57 pounds who walked around at 225 when he fought at 168
if Callum goes the championship rounds we see if he can take advantage of Benavidez slowing down
:haha:he means Benavidez sparring stories:rofl:
Benavidez admitting that he’s a monster weight cutter:bigeyes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wTwPNqOIkEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8oivB-GEKs

Just for shltz n giggles
I believe the fight will inevitably happen but at the earliest 2H 2026 with Alvarez being the favorite
Alvarez 7-5 Benavidez followed by an immediate rematch that Benavidez wins due to the age of Alvarez
they then go onto have a trilogy
Alvarez has the better right hand, overall punching technique, and power
both guys get gassy
Benavidez habitually gets off balance when throwing his straight right
has a wild sloppy left hook when tired that a Rusty Gvozdyk countered in the championship rounds with a cross
and returns his jab low all while regularly jabbing with his right hand down. This why Morrell hurt Benavidez with that counter right hook. Explosive Alvarez or Bivol would counter this faulty jab with a cross or hook
TBF and dismissing the hype
I wish he would fight Benny instead of Bud
Just to shut MFers up
I have confidence Nelo would win and haters will say the dumbest shlt
No need for a rematch
But yeah
Sometime 2026\
He has sights on a Biv rematch,
I think Callum Smith skill for skill is a better boxer than David Benavidez 'And at 175 pounds? I don't think Benavidez has shown that he is a monster puncher, In fact if you really think about it, Callum Smith was a more proven and powerful puncher than Benavidez at 168 pounds and thus-far at 175 pounds'.
I think it is a close fight to call 'The determining factor being, whether Benavidez can seriously hurt Smith. If Benavidez struggles to hurt Smith, enough to stop him in his tracks. Then I think Callum Smith has the ability to win the fight over the distance'.
Note: I see people attempting to down play Callum Smith's win vs Joshua Buasti 'When in reality? Callum Smith vs Joshua Buasti was a higher level fight than David Morrell Junior vs David Benavidez. Buasti was an Olympic Bronze Medallist, and a more proven solid fighter at 175 pounds than David Morrell Junior'.
If the fight between Callum Smith and David Benavidez is made 'I don't think Benavidez is the biggest power puncher in the fight. Benavidez has never been known for his single punch power, whereas Callum Smith definitively has more proven single punch power. David Benavidez's best skill attribute is his ability to produce punch combinations, apply pressure without much of reset. But his defense is not the best, and in my opinion he is a very hittable target for a fighter with Callum Smith's boxing ability'.
To conclude: I just personally think David Benavidez before the accumulative negative effects of weight draining himself to fight at 168 pounds 'If that version of Benavidez would have fought Smith at 168 pounds. Then Benavidez would have been more of a danger for Smith. Now that David Benavidez is fighting closer to his natural fighting weight, I don't think he is the intimidating fighter than he was at 168 pounds. Callum Smith is not going to be overhauled by the skill level of Benavidez, or his physicality'.
I would still make David Benavidez the favourite to win the fight 'But for sure Callum Smith in my opinion, skill for skill has the potential to execute the better fight. And Smith's power may be greater than Benavidez at 175 pounds, which may be a determining factor in who wins the fight' etc.
If you think Callum Smith is more skilled than Benavidez you need to stop writing long essays pretending you understand boxing. David is more skilled than Smith in every way.
Note: I see people attempting to down play Callum Smith's win vs Joshua Buasti 'When in reality? Callum Smith vs Joshua Buasti was a higher level fight than David Morrell Junior vs David Benavidez. Buasti was an Olympic Bronze Medallist, and a more proven solid fighter at 175 pounds than David Morrell Junior'.
lol. That was a domestic level fight between 2 fighters who showed no ability to avoid punches to the face. Morrell Benavidez was a high level fight between 2 elite fighters. Callum Smith got walked down and beat up by John Ryder and needed a robbery to get past him. His best win was over a shot Groves. He is a C level fighter.
Smith would be a top 3 victory for David B.
which makes Alvarez duck of Mexican David extra silly
Alvarez would be clear favorite and probably beat him
David B is a good fighter but probably not great
I believe he’s this era’s Fernando Vargas
my prediction
Bivol 10-2 Benavidez
Rusty Gvozdyk did block then shoot counters to win the championship rounds against Benavidez
this doesnt bode well for Bena should he fight Bivol
i think that fight is 50/50
bivol and benny will eventually fight it out for top dog of the divisionmy prediction
Bivol 10-2 Benavidez
Rusty Gvozdyk did block then shoot counters to win the championship rounds against Benavidez
this doesnt bode well for Bena should he fight Bivol
thank Allah
no Alvarez rematch with Bivol
increases the likelihood of Bivol going to cruiserweight to target Buff Guy Jai
bivol and benny will eventually fight it out for top dog of the division
he aint fighting benny and he wont rematch bivol
soon noone will even be interested in who he fights i would say
thank Allah
no Alvarez rematch with Bivol
increases the likelihood of Bivol going to cruiserweight to target Buff Guy Jai
Alvarez fights with randoms running out of steam
possible remaining big fights for him TBud Benavidez Pacheco
he aint fighting benny and he wont rematch bivol

u never heard of mexican machismo
now they have this guy yelling vive mexico after all his cherry picks and crap opponents
they are cringing inside at him or else they are just like him
Alvarez fights with randoms running out of steam
his events don't have the energy they once did
possible remaining big fights for him TBud Benavidez Pacheco
I don't believe Alvarez has any desire to rematch Bivol his stylistic nightmare!
I don’t think it matters
Mexicans are the most blindly loyal fanbase and have severe in-group bias
They support one of theirs even when he sucks azz like margarito or Julio Cesar Jr
