All I have read was Benavidez's promoter saying there was a deal done in principal, and Benavidez's dad saying that Morrell isn't ready but that they will kick his ass if they fight
Morrell either doesn't understand what "signed contract" means, or he has been misled. Benavidez has been discussing terms with a few fighters, including Canelo, as well as Mungia. The Morrell camp immediately goes to the media insulting Benavidez and trash talking. Morrell hasn't fought anyone. Benavidez is Canelo's mandatory.
"We have a contract with David Morrell, Boo Boo, and Charlo. Those are dangerous fights, really good fights. We’re going to stick at 168 right now and see what happens,” said Benavidez Sr."
"it was disclosed earlier this year that Benavidez has a signed contract to fight regular WBA super middleweight champion David Morrell at some point soon."
"Benavidez’s promoter has confirmed that the focus has now shifted to facing WBA (Regular) champion David Morrell in October. The bout is expected to be Benavidez’s second appearance on pay-per-view. Lewkowicz revealed that Benavidez’s clash with Morrell was already signed prior to the Canelo offer."
Now they're changing the story. I think they have a signed contract to fight Morrell, but not on a particular date, and they had agreed to a Sept/Oct meeting but then Munguía started to look available and they're trying to make that fight because they think it's worth more money.
Morrell is also Canelo's mandatory with the WBA. Benavidez is through the WBC, but Canelo seems to own Sulaiman, so he'll never get that enforced.
Where are all the videos or link where Morell supposedly says these things??? I find it hard to believe he says all these things. Boxingscene needs to attach the videos if they’re gonna publish these stories
These dudes are so ****ing corny. I like Morrell but calm down. Hopefully he'll get his chance soon.
You do know that's not him. He probably doesn't know half of what deCubas is saying here. He do wants to fight benavidez, but he doesn't talk like that. He's a very respectful young man.
Morrell says everyone wants to see him vs Benavidez... BS!! Everyone wants to see Benavidez vs Canelo. Most people don't even know who Morrell is. He's trying the Rolly method of talking his way into a big fight. I don't think it will work.
Rolly is bum compared to Morrell Jr. Rolly got the big fight because he is not a good boxer. Morrell Jr however, can Fook any SMW, that's why they're not stepping up to the plate.

Morrell looks great against cans. We won't know if he is that scary until he fights a good fighter. Look at Boots. He was the big bogeyman, a fringe guy took him 12 rounds.
Styles make fights and Benavidez is not going to stand there and take a whipping. He will wear Morrell down and likely pummel him. Levels.
Well, benavidez started fighting similar opposition as Morrell Jr has fought, 12 fights ago, the first 14 or 15 were there to padding his record or gain some experience. So what's your point? I think benavidez would be a good measurement for where the Cuban is at, and he would be facing a live body, Morrell Jr. Is not that benavidez has going thru fire to be where he is. He's best win is plant the same guy canelo knock the Fook out. So again, what's your point? Do you think plant is going to face Morrell Jr? How about old man dirrel, do you consider direll a good measuring stick? If it were that easy, benavidez would have sign the contract already. They see danger, and they don't want to lose the lottery ticket. Please don't bring another "unproven" up and coming prospect, we want a real battle tested opponent.
