    Depends. Andrade was nowhere NEAR as good as people gave him credit for, and yet those same ppl won’t give David any credit after walking through him.

      David's big, strong, decent pop and unorthodox and awkward so that will occasionally give problem's for the orthodox fighter but I still favor Canelo and Bivol over him.

        Yes.

        Does that mean he beats everybody? No. That always has to be proven in the ring like any other fighter but he is a fighter that you do not steer your fighter towards especially now that he seems to be taking things seriously outside of the ring in regards to staying in boxing shape.

        He is an offensive minded big pressure fighter with exceptionally quick hands, good reflexes, strong high guard, strong jab, good inside/clinch fighting, good cardio, high work rate and so far seems durable.

        Anybody can pick holes in anyone and point out negatives against someone but you also have to look at what someone does good to see how you match up against them. Any competent trainer or fighter will tell you that he is not the typical pressure fighter

          A solid American domestic level guy, but this is it. If he was European, he would be called euro boom.

          Munguia, Berlanga, Benavidez, I can`t really separate them, the same level.

                I wouldn’t say they’re the same level. David Benavidez is significantly better than Berlanga imo and a tough fight for anyone at 168/175.

                  Not at 168 in a shoe box. That was like Arum putting Walters in with an active Lomachenko while Walters was sidelined for over 1 year. Promoter Jedi Mind Tricks.

                    Boo-boo had himself sidelined his whole career. Let’s not pretend this was some setup. Plus, BooBoo had fought 9 months earlier which basically made him PBC’s most active fighter lol
