    Agreed with this. It would make sense for Benavidez to get rid of him early if he can't get the Canelo fight in May, but it's not a good time for Morrell. The rest of it was pointing out that Morrell's resume is in no way worse than Andrade's. He's actually got a better level of competition than Andrade up until the recent fight when Andrade imo got exposed. Benavidez has a better resume for sure though. Wasn't that great before the Plant fight, when his best win was Dirrell, but hey. I think it's pretty clear that Morrell has fought the best guys that would sign to fight him though. It's got to be even harder now after he put an undefeated knockout artist into a coma and flattened an Olympic medalist.
    Disagree, but this feels like a minor but obv disagreement to me.

    Andrade has fought far more exp'd guys like Liam Williams, Suleci, culcay, Willie Nelson & Vanes (probably his best W even if it was forever ago now). Morrell is the best guy a lot of his opps fought at all by a mile, while a lot of Andrade's top guys have fought other top guys & I think one or two of them have a top ten W or two. Vanes gots a draw vs Lara & W over Nelson. Nelson gots a W over Superbad. A lot of his top opps got several 2 & 3 star W's on boxrec over less known guys.

    Meanwhile Morrell's best opps have fairly who gives a fook resumes. And with his limited fights we can go over his whole resume.

    1)Valdez (2-6), combined record of the 2 0star guys he beat was 0-1
    2)Rankin (15-6-1), 7 1star W's. 8 0star W's
    3)Allen (22-0-1), 1 2star W, 9 1star W's & 12 0star W's.
    4)Gavronski (26-3-1), 2 2star W's, 16 1star W's & 8 0star W's
    5)cazares (12-0), 1 2star W's, 3 1star W's & 8 0star W's. This is the first & I believe his only opp he fought with a notable name W in Jcc Jr.
    6)Fox (28-2-1), 3 2star W's, 11 1star W's & 14 0star W's. Fox lost to Andrade 4yrs previous to Morrell beating him.
    7)Henderson (15-1-1), 4 1star W's, 11 0star W's.
    8)Aidos (16-0), 2 2star W's, 7 1star W's & 7 0star W's.
    9)Falcao (24-1-1), 2 2star W's, 14 1star W's & 8 0star W's.

    I mean it gets a lil silly with the boxrec star strength of schedule, but it does breakdown how good your resume is. And while Morrell has an amazing resume for a guy with 9 fights its not equal to Andrade's. I'd argue the best guy on Morrell's resume would be maybe the the 6th or 7th best guy on Andrade's resume & the top 5 on Andrade's resume would be the top 5 on Morrell's resume.

    And I mean who expects anything different. Morrell has been fast tracked, but he's only been fighting real guys for a prospect not real guys for a top ten indie ranked guy like Andrade who has been fighting those higher level guys for far longer.

    And randomly Morrell vs Andrade would be a great fight to make next year for Morrell.
