Morrell looked pretty crude last fight. lots of sloppy hooks in the pocket which enabled even his C grade opponent to land some decent counters. Let him fight a decent fighter first.
Morrell is all wrong for Bena*******

You might be right, I kind of agreed with you. But do you think any of those guys will sign? That's the problem when finding opponents for Morrell Jr. Only the mid-tier fighters will face him, with the hope that a victory would put them upthere. The upper echelon, not so much. So what can he do?
I would not jump in against Benavidez straight away. It's not about being scared but giving himself the best chance to win the fight.Comment

That no hoper survived a bit and was landing very flush and frequent the few times he fought back. I doubt he will get away with that we a top level fighter. He has to do more and needs tougher tests.Comment

To be fair you have to take note of Henderson's opposition, he has a decent record but none of the boxers he has fought are widely recognized though credit to Morrell being the first one to TKO him quite early:

Also not sure how Benavidez fighting a cab driver would matter since Benavidez and Morrell have differing backgrounds, Morrell was given a fight for the belt in his third bout because he was already a renown highly decorated amateur boxer like lets say Lomachenko or Meldrick Taylor. Benavidez did not and is gradually improving by facing professional boxers.
Just point out how different their careers are, Benavidez debuted 9 years ago meaning that in his 7th bout he was around 17 years old.
BS ever more like a RomperRoom preschool. At this rate, at least 2-3 years from a top 10 rating, but if he wants to be KOed tomorrow, if he can raise the funds, Bena will blast him back to Cuba posthaste.Comment

If I'm Morrel I want to call them out and push for those fights first. Honestly, I think Berlanga would be a good fight for him. Call him out on tweeter, challenge him and hurt his ego and see if he can get him in the ring. Beating Berlanga is very doable and is guaranteed to get him headlines. Even Rosado would be a good name for him. After one of those two guys I would probably try to challenge Andrade.

I mean you guys really have no idea what kind of talent Morrell is. People talk about Haney and Shakur. These guys blossomed in their early 20's with defensive styles. Morrell blossomed as a 17 year old as a seek and destroy fighter with slick defense. Time will teach you.Last edited by pesticid; 06-06-2022, 09:54 AM.Comment

During an amateur career in which Morrell compiled a record of 130–2, he won gold medals at the 2016 Youth World Championships, where he was named "Best Boxer of the Tournament", 2017 Cuban National Championships, and the 2018 India Open International Boxing TournamentComment

He will murder Berlanga, Verga Larga would never sign for this fight. Rosady is a warrior and a dummy but he'll get a worse beating than what GGG did to him. At this point Saunders, Plant, Dirrell are snacks or a brunch for Morrell. If Benavidez waits him out in about 2 years Benavidez won't have a chance. Benavidez better sign up now cause now I say it's 50-50. In about a year or 2 Benabiches will be destroyed.

You're entitled to your opinion but you're overrating him. Berlanga and Rosado are good fights for him to look good and beat opponents with a name. Saunders, Dirrell and Plant are not snacks for him and he's not 50-50 with Benavidez right now, at least not from what I saw last Saturday. Is he your cousin or something?Comment
