Comments Thread For: David Morrell: "No One Says My Name"

[El_Maldito_Rey]

That mutt looking Morrell has 9 fights and hasn't accomplished anything. Yet people are thinking Canelo is avoiding him? He the new boogeyman?

Fighting an elite-level 168-pounder shouldn't be a difficult ask. But for David Morrell, it's been practically impossible for him to get his hands on one.

I’m not sure why he’s even complaining. He’s a baby in the sport. He doesn’t have enough t experience to be calling out the top guys.
If he truly wants to fight tuff. How bout fighting Derevyanchenko, Munguia and how bout going to Europe and fighting their champions?? I just think he wants a Canelo/Benividas payday and that’s it.

Nobody thinks canelo is ducking him, and just because he has only 9 fights it doesn't mean he have to fight 20 more times in order to fight a name. Do the math and check benavidez first 11 fights and then his next 9, you be surprised. The fact of the matter is that he's the #1 mandatory and interim belt holder for the WBA, ryder the one that fought for the WBO as #1, ran away from the Cuban when he got the chance to fight him four fights ago. You know is not about deserving, is about getting in that position that he's in. He has the right to call benavidez, he's in the same position as him, he's not bringing lemiux or old dirrel to fight him, he's looking for the boogeyman and you guys don't like that? If he beats benavidez then what? If he gets beat so what? Either way is not going to be easy. There's not a fan of boxing that doesn't want to see this fight.

Look at his opponents and look at benavidez and canelo's opponents for their first 20 fights. Do your own research, and look at the position he's in right now, taking on a journeyman now is just padding his record as an staying busy fight, and you guys are going to talk so much crap because of that. He's calling out the boogeyman of the division because they both are on the same path, mandatories and interim belt holders. It's a natural fight regardless of the record. I posted those record a few post back, none has care to refute them, I guess numbers don't lie.

I see Jab Jab Troon having another meltdown over Canelo on a thread that has nothing to do with him.

I see you phag ass fan boys can’t stay off my nuts. Notice how I never initiate convo with you but you emotional bicches stay on my comments? And Canelo’s name is mentioned twice in the article, so how does it have nothing to do with him when it’s talking about his lack of interest in facing morrell? Fkn dummy.

Morrell is one of many fighters that needs to stay active. He's fought just ONE pro round this entire year!

Yeah, this concerns me. I think Morrell has a potentially very high ceiling, but that inactivity can’t be good. I’d love to see David against the top guys in his division, but at this moment it might not be a good idea. Nobody wants to work anymore; everyone wants the big paydays right away.

Yes,vgood proposal but won't happen as Benevidez doesn't want Morrell's smoke.

Well morrel is in the same situation most young bulls get to be. Not known enough and too high risk and it’s the way boxing been forever… not exclusive to this era or morrel himself, boots is in the same shoes although boots is a bit more known, but same thing the champ Crawford won’t even mention boots and rightfully so. Crawford, like canelo at 68 already paid there dues to the game and are in position to offer the fight to whomever they want to, and more then likely it’ll be someone who brings in money it is what it is. It don’t mean bud or canelo ducking boots or morrel, or that benavidez is ducking morrel at the moment no. Not at all these guys are fighters it’s what they do they aren’t afraid of no one other man. That’s the biggest misconception I’ve ever heard. I’m sure there has been one offs or more then one some cases here and there where some may have actually had fear and because of it they refused to fight but that same person that is afraid, offer them the correct amount of money and they’ll fight a ******** gorrilla. Real talk. Now, morrel just needs to be patient boots too and keep handling business and eventually their time will come, until then, the ones at the top ain’t ducking or dodging them or anyone else. They do that for a living.. like… let that sink in before we start accusing of duck this duck that it’s silly honestly

You’re just making up your own narrative. You want to talk about canelo picking people for legacy but none of his recent opponents have done anything to enhance his legacy. It’s risk management and you’re in denial. Again, you come on posts like a stalker from thread to thread, provide no meaningful argument, only whining and a trash opinion that’s based on fandom and imagination. You want to call people haters but can’t disprove anything that’s stated. Gtfoh clown.

Brotha smh you’re delusional I constantly state facts, the narratives all live in your head. Fact is canelo has the best resume in the sport… yet you continue to b.itch and complain about that boxer yet claim to be a “fan” of the sport to avoid actually naming a single one boxer you actually support or are a fan of: numerous times different people call you out and you chose to not only ignore the question, of who you are a fan of or who you support because ALL fans of the sport have certain fighters they root for… ALL OF US, so stop with the “oh I’m a fan of the sport” bs that’s just used by you to avoid the question because you know, just like you slander on the face of the sport… your guy would get that worst: but you’re a fan right? Bs you’re a hater and everything I’m saying are facts that can be proven. All the bs you spew are your opinions bro.. literally. So, yeah keep slandering that’s what you’re good at the only thing you good at around here, see you in your next canelo melt down so I can call you out again… well if it’s bs which 95% of you’re talk is just that bs. Keep it boxing keep it factual… if not, save it.. don’t nobody need to here your bs negativity. It’s lame af specially behind the keyboard.

Every YOUNG boxer calls out the big dogs. Guess you never noticed

This is something I don't blame completely on the fighter. What's happening with Morrell has happened to many before him, and is happening to others right now. I brought up GGG in another post as someone Morrell needs to model his career after. However, it takes a concerted effort from all parties involved: the network, the promoter, the manager, and the boxer all need to agree that small-money/high-activity is the way to progress. The problem may be deeper than "Morrell just doesn't want to fight". SHO is DEAD, so now where is Morrell supposed to fight? What role does Morrell's manager play in this? Morrell should be on TV obliterating whoever's in front of him. Rosado left a bloody mess, Stevens with the O-face after being knocked down, Macklin writhing in pain after getting his ribs broken, etc. GGG had a highlight reel, and Morrell should have one too. But Morrell NEEDS to fight in order to create those moments.
