Comments Thread For: David Morrell: "If Benavidez Fights The Way He Fought Andrade With Me, He's Gonna Lose"

[hhh1200]

If he catches the Saudis attention, I can definitely see them putting up money for him to fight Mbilli on an undercard. Is Mbilli ******?

Legit champion is when you take the belt from a Champ. Who did he took the belt from? He got ktfo by canelo, who himself has look like $h1t every time he has going up in class. Lost to benavidez too. Please get another example because this one doesn't make the cut. You're criticizing Morrell Jr because he has only 10 fights, and praising plant for losing, while the Cuban is gunning for the same guy that beat him up, and definately fighting benavidez is not about money.

If you are asking who did Plant take the best from you are not qualified for this discussion. The fact you are even denying that Plant is more accomplished and proven than Morrell is hilarious.

You are incredibly slow...

Does Benavidez want to fight Canelo? If he does, beating the only other guy with a better claim helps his cause.

Does Benavidez want to prove he's the real king of the division? Then he can take the only other guy in the division who looks like he could be a threat and that Canelo has been avoiding. If Morrell wasn't a threat Canelo would have gotten that mandatory out of the way as he did with Yildirim and Ryder.

Even after Canelo is gone, Morrell is still going to be there. Do you want him to avoid Morrell for his whole career? Benavidez doesn't seem to want to fight a guy his size that he can't outmuscle.

Frankly if you don't see the advantages you've got no business talking about boxing at all.

The DISADVANTAGE is that it's a dangerous fight against an opponent who isn't a big money draw yet. It's only a bad fight if you don't think you can win, or you're just in it for the money. But he's barking about being the uncrowned King of the division. If he wants to be the king, Morrell is the current #4. Don't know why Mbilli just jumped him in the Ring ratings with a bum bashing against a really low level guy, but there it is.

If he's a nobody that isn't a threat then there's no reason not to fight him. It's only a bad idea if he's legit. Benavidez knows it. You're just not being honest with yourself. Either way, you were already dumb enough to act like you didn't understand that Canelo is the guy in the division who has mandatories. You're apparently also dumb enough not to realize that everyone wants to fight Canelo.

Morrell is risky because he could be the dark horse and could be a real threat or be a hype job. If Benavidez destroyd him, he gets zero credit and everyone will say he just beat a green kid who was not ready. If he struggled to beat him, they say he struggled to beat a 10-0 fighter, and if he loses his short term career is derailed. With that in consideration only a moron like you would decide to fight him.

Your narrative of 'morrell looks like the only other threat to canelo so David should fight him' is just hot air. Fact is, Morrell has beaten literally nobody, and he is not a money fight either, so he offers nothing of substance to Benavidez to fight him. Just risk with no REAL reward. You seem to struggle to understand that. Beating a guy who passes the eye test is not REAL reward. You simply don't know how good Morrell really is yet, its impossible to be sure unless he fights someone decent. Benavidez is at a different level in his career, he has done the hard work Morrell has done nothing but he wants to fight at the top. Nope.

Not denying accomplishments. And I know how he got the belt, an interim belt against another boxer that has lost every time he stepped up in class. What I'm questioning is your dismissal of Morell jr while praising plant's resume when he has lost against the two real threats he faced. That's all, and critiquing the Cuban resume when I know you're not going to find another fighter at SMW with the same opponents that those of DMJ. He's at the same junction that Plant was in 2019.

Like I said you have no idea what you are talking about. Plant beat a legit champion for a legit belt and defended it 3 times. Get back to me when Morrell fights a top 10 guy.

Mention two real threats to canelo? And again, 5 fights, 10 fights or 30 fights is not the problem. He got his first 12th rounds fight in his second fight along with the WBA regular belt, which make canelo's mandatory almost three years ago, in his 6th fight he was supposed to fight ryder, but Hearn announced that instead of facing Morrell Jr, he was going to fight bivol, did ryder fought bivol? Did he jump a weight class and fought anyone at LGW? No he didn't, he went another route and got a gifted mandatory shot but ran away from de Cuban
