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

    Obviously Benavidez is hoping for that golden ticket to cinnamon payday land so he is understandably not looking for other fights right now and maybe he'll be in negotiations for that but in the meantime Morrell who is garnering alot of attention and appears to have talent should fight who exactly to make a good case for himself to be the next to go on the golden ticket payday tour?

    I looked through the rankings at 168 and I gotta tell ya, its not too good

    So who do you think Morrell should fight in order to make himself bonified? He passes the eye test but he's not bonified yet.

    168 is trash who can he really fight? Shoulda just called plant, charlo or Andrade out. Hell even dirrell.

    Saying "I want benavidez in 2024" isn't reassuring. at the end of the year or what? Shoulda just said he wants him next

      I would say Plant but he seems focused on beating up mentally unstable inactive Charlo because...the hood needs a hero.

        Someone decent Uzcategui wouldn't be bad or even Dirrel.

          Bivol. He's probably bigger than Bivol anyway. By the time he gets to the front of the queue at 168, 168 might not even be an option for him

              Anyone in the top 10. If none are available anyone who's held a 168 belt in the past. Morrell definitely needs to up the quality of his opp. Benavidez was in a similar position a while back & has enhanced his resume to the point where he's the indisputable #1 guy who deserves to be fighting Mr Alvarez. Morrell needs to enhance his resume more so he's the #1 indisputable guy who deserves to fight the winner of Alvarez vs Benavidez in late 2024 or early 2025.

                  I think plant would fight him as he doesn't duck anyone, but he seems to be moving towards a jermall fight as there is history between them.

                    Christian Mbilli is who Morell should fight next. But it seems he's happy feasting bums.
