Comments Thread For: Espinoza: What I Respect About Benavidez & Andrade Is They're Not Waiting [For Canelo]

[sidefx996]

So basically they're finally doing what Canelo told them to do a long time ago...

[TCB BOXING]

Waiting and moving on? You think PBC would risk him loosing on a three fight deal?? Espinoza is punch drunk without ever fighting ! Just like he said threy had 3 $20 million dollar gates yet all failed to sell out . Now we know why showtime is dumping them

If you think that Canelo is waiting to fight the winner of this fight, I have AC that I can sell you in Alaska in winter. Canelo wants no part of David Benavidez or David Morrell and that is just proven at this point. Not that David Benavidez didn't make his bed with the booger sugar, but it allowed the oh so convenient timing and mandate to be off.

That being said, I am REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to this fight. I think there are some real questions to be answered here. How does Andrade fare against a career, settled in (cruiserweight in between fights) super middleweight? Can Andrade do more than confuse/stifle David's attack? Is Andrade too long in the tooth to be dynamic, sharp at this weight? If Benavidez wins, HOW does he win?

Boxing is ending the year nicely with this and the Haney- Prograis tilt.

Espinoza is now game in throwing some fighters under the bus. He has nothing more to lose now and he can be politically incorrect all he wants.

This fight does nothing for David as he gonna whoop andrades ass quiet easily. I wanna see David vs Morrell vs canelo… any of those three against each other. Anything else at 68 don’t matter

Canelo has said that many times in the past, pretty sure the were basically forced into an eliminator based on that.

David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade understandably would've preferred to challenge Canelo Alvarez next. Fighting Alvarez affords his opponents not only career-high paydays, but also the opportunity to become boxing's fully unified super middleweight champion. Alvarez has plans of his own, of course, which left the unbeaten Benavidez and the

They SHOULDNT be waiting. They should of been fighting all of Canelos leftovers for the last 5 years. They refuse to do that. They fight soft and expect everyone to want to pay to see them fight. Thats not reality. They all better start getting day jobs. Sheeits changing.

Stop it... All Andrade has done is wait. Now he's just simply out of options and has no choice but to step up. As far as Morrel, he has like 10 fights and is waiting around himself, I mean who in the hell has he exactly fought?

Having 9 fights against a combined 139-18 record is much better, than having 25 fight against a combined record 98-100. So who do you think between A & B has faced better competition? Beside, he's already the interim WBA belt holder and mandatory to canelo, he's at the door knocking on it. So stop with the useless comment.

They're no softer leftovers that canelo's opponents, the one he has beat.

[garfios]

He categorically rejected fights with Korobov, Jermell Charlo, Janibek and Parker.

And Lara, don't forget that one.
