Who should Morrell fight if not Benavidez or Canelo right now?

    mbilli, scull and shishkin. mbilli is highly rated and the other 2 are ibf's mandatories in waiting. eliminate them to jump the queue. fighting irrelevant guys like agbeko is useless.

      If he can't get any named fighter he should start fighting top ranked fighters. No used getting names in and not securing a shot in the process.

        When real fights were made he'd probably be matched with Charlo since Charlo has had a tune-up and he only has 10 fights but he will smoke Charlo. My bad, they both train with Shields. Andrade is going back to 160 where he should be. Uzcategui and Dirrell are shot..

        There are a couple of undefeated in the rankings. Morrell is a clear co-main on any card
        Christian Mbilli
        France
        25-0, 21 KO

        Erik Bazinyan
        Canada
        31-0, 22 KO
        Vladimir Shishkin
        15-0, 9 KO


        Diego Pacheco
        20-0, 17 KO

        No better test than another top 10 contender.

          True but yet they are still levels better than anyone he's faced to date.

            Probably the most sensible route for him, right now even if he does look the part he hasn't done enough at least in my mind to demand a fight with the highest rated contender. A couple of impressive wins against unbeaten contenders and prospects would do it.

              I don't think so, those will be padding record opponents. Aidos could have wipe them out too, he was young and undefeated and he was in the fight. Morrell Jr vs plant should be better.

                My friend says he should fight Erik Bazinyan​ who I never watched until he told me. That'd be a reeeeeally good test and fight

                  Morrell vs Bivol would be a great fight.

                    Morrell just needs to keep active and keep beating people. Eventually he will get some fringe contenders in there with him and will atart getting those bigger names.

                    The extra time developing only works out better for him as well in the end. I see a lot of upside with Morrell.

                      You're so transparent. Ask mbilli people if they want to pitch him vs Morrell Jr. I laugh soo much when I read you guys post, because they're a few of you, or is it the same person? Let me go back in time? How many prospects did canelo fought? Morell jr in 10 fights has fought 2. I'm pretty sure he would take the fight if nothing bigger comes along.
