Comments Thread For: Benavidez: Andrade Ranked Longer, People Know Him More, Bigger Name Than Morrell

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

Morell needs a name. Mbilli needs a (better) name. Let 2 contenders fight so the winner gains some downhill momentum.

Man , I think that's a great idea and a barn burner of a fight. The only thing is that some marinating would make it a much bigger fight ,which it deserves to be. That said , I want to see it now , like right now , this weekend would be fine by me.

Morrells problem is that he's too much risk for too little reward. None of the promoters out there want to throw away a guy that they can maybe cash out in the Canelo sweepstakes down the road. I hate it but that's what's going on. If I'm Morrells people , I would probably try to get Berlanga , even if they have to take short money. Berlanga sucks but he's got fans and a name in New York.

This man said Morrell is less popular than Andrade. The ultimate insult.

Remember when Andrade got pinched for carrying a gun and said it was because he's such a star? I still laugh about that

Morrell def needs better managing to fight more often. He kayod some random dude in first round more than 6 months ago..he should have a fight scheduled by now. C'mon now, plenty to choose from at 168.

28 years old with 25 fights is up and coming? LOL. You people out there crying and hollering Canelo is avoiding everyone, but mention Morrell fighting someone with pulse like M'bili and the excuses come rolling in.

I was talking about Aidos, but you know what? 28-1 is not bad either.

I like how you think but nobody is stepping to the plate, four fights ago rydet was scheduled to fight him with the promise he would fight canelo's next, if he won the fight of course, and after seeing the caceres ko, hearns took him out of Minnesota in less than an hour. He's excuse, ryder was moving up to LHW to fight bivol, go figure.

That isn't necessarily true. 168 is filled with fighters who have small profiles. All of the big-profile boxers are not gonna willingly fight Morrell. Even the gatekeepers like Ryder and Derevy are not gonna allow themselves to be fed to Morrell.

Lol yes I remember that. Well hes gonna have to keep beating up whoever they put in front of him till the big names have no other option. Lets just hope it doesnt take forever like in boo boo's case. That big fight will eventually come. It has to.

The fact benavidez is mentioning morrel is doing more for morels career than is his 9 pro fights have. He should thank benavidez then proceed to listen to the champ and keep taking sh.it lol

Benavidez is mentioning him because Morrell has been talking a lot of smack and he wants to address it. But the fact that Benny feels the need tells you he rates the Cuban. This match-up would be hot.

I get your point bro but dont you think being 9-0 has something to do with it? Im aware of the kid extensive amateur background and his overall potential but like I've stated above hes gonna have to keep beating mofos up till the big one eventually lands. Good thing for the cuban is he's exciting to watch and unlike andrade he does have killer instinct so personally I think it just matter of time, besides morrell a big boy himself so a potential jump to 175 cant be disregarded, I bet both bivol and beterbiev wouldn't have any inconvenience.
