Yeah I think Benavidez drowns him in deep waters at this point... Morrell needs to be careful what he asks for, he's got time.

Is going to be an epic battle, Morell jr is a heck of a boxer with one punch ko in both hands. I want to see this fight.

Fuxk it give it to him Benavidez butchers the guy brutally.

How about Pavel Silyagin, Vladimir Shishkin or Christian Mbilli? Those guys are all undefeated and have quality wins. They are legitimate top 10 contenders, not 35 year old former amateur stars with padded pro records like Falcao. You should know that just because he was ranked 6th by two alphabet organizations doesn't mean he is legitimate. Alphabet rankings are a joke. And since those three guys that I named are not going to get a world title shot at Canelo any time soon, they would likely be open to fighting Morrell.

Then don't mention ranks, they mean nothing. I'd love to see him fight those guys, don't think their team would let them share a ring with him.

Feed Andrade to Morrell so he can bury that myth already. Fight makes since, make it in Minneapolis in July-August at that armory place. I bet Andrade will weasel his way out of that fight

This fight would be a back and forth war in my opinion - purely scintillating exchanges.

And who is legitimately ranked? The Brazilian was ranked #6 in both the wba and wbc. And asking everyone that wants Morrell Jr to fight someone else, instead of benavidez, who else? A guy told me thompson, which I laughed at it, or uzcategui, which I think he wouldn't offer much. So who? If not benavidez.

This would be an excellent fight, but I’m not sure if Benavidez will jeopardize his Canelo ticket. And right now, I’ve got Morrell. That dude is a problem.

Finally, a fight I can actually look forward to — a fight that might actually happen. This one would make Davis-Garcia look like the the whimper it was.

He's more than ready for Benavidez right now. Team Benavidez aren't dumb enough to take this fight before Canelo though so, for now, Morrell is going to have to call out the next few guys in line. .

That would be an exciting fight, but Morrell probably needs to fight somebody that is legitimate top 20 first, which he has yet to do. Nine fights against the level of opponents he's faced may not prepare him for Benavidez.
