Why not Morrell? Now the winner of THAT fight would definitely have a good case for one of the other two Canelo - PBC fights.
Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Believes He's Too Big and Too Strong For Demetrius Andrade

Andrade will most likely pull a Plant and school David for the first five or six rounds, then get battered and possibly stopped. Let's not forget David has a habit of being the youngest guy in the ring, so he's gonna be fresher, I think (which is probably one of many reasons he ducked Morrell). Could be a pretty fun fight overall.Comment

This writer must not do research or has a short memory to claim Benavidez spent much of his career fighting lower tier opposition because it was out of his hands when the blame lies squarely on him. The WBC allowed him to cut in front of their then number one title challenger Callum Smith. What did Benavidez do with that opportunity? Got stripped doing coke. They gave him yet another shot at the same belt. So what did Benavidez do this time? Reject a unification with Plant just to fight lower tier guys and got stripped once again, this time coming in 3 pounds overweight despite knowing Canelo was lining up titles. Afterward, the WBC gave him another title shot at 175 but he rejected it just to fight more random guys. He finally took his first career step up a few months ago against Plant, only after Canelo knocked him out. Afterward, his team lied about a $50M offer to Canelo, clout chased Morrell, and is now talking about fellow bottomfeeder Andrade who's never fought a champ in his career.Comment

I'd pick Benavidez to win because andrade starts great but longer a fight goes on he tends to fade abit but I think he's a tougher fight than plant he's more awkward he's a southpaw style wise he could give David some problems in there but him being older and not very active are problems. Good to see andrade have a proper fight but I'd of much rather seen the Benavidez-Morrel fightLast edited by Boxing2695; 08-15-2023, 11:12 AM.Comment

Man I agree ! It’ll be tough for Benny to find sparring partners that can mimic what Andrade does in the ring. People crap on him all the time, but he has some wild angles and displays good power. Also I believe Andrade’s movement might trouble Benny. I think Andrade wins, unless he loses steam down the back stretch. I actually think Andrade will punish him.Comment

I hope canelo fights anyone of these guysComment

I'd be very surprised if Andrade is still standing after 7, he's frail, gasses, not as good as ppl think the Williams fight showed his ceiling, the bolo uppercut is so amateurish.Comment
