It's too soon. David Morrell needs more professional experience. He's not seasoned enough for David Benavidez yet. Just give him a few more years and he'll be there.Comment

The hype train on Morell is already going at full speed. He is not tested by solid opposition yet so nobody knows. Right now it is just the eye testComment

there goes that term "weight bully" again hahaha If a man walks around at 400 lbs and can make middleweight, I don't see a problem with it.Morrel is a better fighter than Benavidez and he's a bigger danger to Canelo's reign at 168
Morrel is fast, explosive, great IQ, reflexes and stamina, good defense and footwork, sharp counterpuncher, and a southpaw too boot
Benavidez is just a Margarito with faster hands and less chin. He relies on his gas tank, volumen punching and being a weight bully. He'll get countered into oblivion by gingerComment

Very tough to call. I see people making arguments for both men, but I’m not convinced. I just wish they make the fight so we can find out! One thing we can probably all agree on is, it would be a scorcher.Comment

The Colombian would've been beaten like everyone else. You might be biased, but your eyes can't deny the talent. Also, name one 168lbs past or present that has face the kind of opposition, Morell jr has. Just one. Nowadays fighters and promoters guard that 0 like nobody's business. From the 2nd fight on he has face nothing but guys with winning record. There's no going back now, he skipped the bum of the month record padding.Too early for me to tell, Morrell did look outstanding throughout his latest bouts, but he still hasn't beaten someone in championship contention. Aidos is in my opinion a gatekeeper comparable to Roamer Alexis Angulo.
Though, at his prime the Colombian would have won if they had fought. He had good performances against better opposition at their prime.
Roamer had:
-Derailed a 25 year old, USA prospect Anthony Sims Jr. (20-0 with 18 KOs) a highly decorated amateur (188-13 and 10x National Champion) via SD.
-Lost controversially at 38 years old against Edgar Berlanga (19-0 with 16 KOs) via UD.
Aidos had:
-Defeated by UD, a well decorated amateur (98-6) Australian Rocky Jerkic (17-1 with 13 KOs) who was 31 years old.
-Competitively fought and knocked out a 37-year-old Lennox Allen (21-1 with 14 KOs) in the tenth round, after he had faced Morrell.Comment
