Comments Thread For: David Morrell: David Benavidez Claims To Be Avoided, He Doesn't Mention My Name!

[-Kev-]

So benavidez doesn't know who the WBA regular champ is? Not that I care much for alphabet soup trinkets. But you can bet your home, he knows who Morell jr is.

Wasn’t the WBA phasing out their regular title?

And how the hell did someone with barely 5 fights and no notable names on his resume have a major title?

Some fans are into the whole, calling any title holder a champion BS, but sorry not me. He is about as much a champion as Devin Haney when he became “champion” by beating Zaur Abdullaev or Alfredo Santiago. Which ever of those no names made him champ.

And why exactly would Benavidez know about Morrell? Is Benavidez the WBA champion and Morrell is his mandatory?

Why exactly would he know about Morrell? Who did he beat to put 168 on notice?

Yeah, he wasn’t poisoned by the amateur system — years and years “fencing with gloves.”

If the kid was euro or uk fighter, he will be p4p entry. They will be calling out everyone around his weight, but you know, he's Cuban, this time he ain't older, nor spent 100 years in the amateurs with 500 fights.

Time for a reality check here. Phony belt aside, Morrell is a 6 fight novice that has faced zero legitimate top 20 opponents. He's a prospect right now. Nothing more.

Nobody give a dam about all those fake belts but you, with 6 or so dam fights only true fans know him, I’m old school the champ is Canelo and he can pick and choose who he fights without a doubt. David is good and I’m not taking that away but he crying about nobody calling him out, MF’ers like and you are who again! All I’m saying

Are you Canelo’s daddy? If you were old school you would want the best fighting the best, instead you enjoy watching Canelo pick opponents that he’s 6-1 favorite against.

Canelo became undisputed at 168 by beating guys named Caleb,Billy Joe and Callum. I don’t think David Benevidez and David Morrell would had trouble with those weak champs.

If 168 div was so weak how come any other top boxer not named canelo ever tried to unify it?

[Mofias]

Morrell is for real, would pick him to win this. Not expecting Benavidez to accept the challenge.

Even Canelo won't accept the Morrel Challenge

[Mofias]

All you people saying he has only 6 fights….we’re you saying the same about Lomachenko?

Lomachenko is White

Fake Belt. Super is the Real Belt

MF’ers hate facts! I’m no Canelo fan 1st of all, but give credit to where it’s due, he calls the shots Poindexter, U got it!

I’m hoping Morrell turns out to be the real deal. Lara has been our best defector, and I’ve never been crazy about him. I appreciate great boxing skills all day long, but I want to see a real pro style — Sugar Ray Leonard, rather than Guillermo Rigondeaux.
