Comments Thread For: A David Morrell Fight Was There for the Making - Why Didn't David Benavidez Bite?

[Jamtime69]

None of those guys want to fight David Morrell. He's called out every one of them! They don't even mention this dude's name! I always hear them saying he needs to get more fights under his belt or a bigger name! Those are just excuses for not fighting him! I believe they're afraid of losing their 0! Morrell is ready to fight either of them! Canelo, Benavidez, Munguia or Mbilli! None of them even mention this man's name!

Benavidez is waiting for the Canelo shot. Why is that so hard to understand? Fighting Morrell could end up losing it.

It was offered to Morrell before and he declined saying his trainer thought he's not ready yet. That's why people need to understand that a lot of things can drastically change in just short period of time, as some posters have been saying. What may be ideal for the fight to be made now, may not be so in just the next few months. This is not rocket science. It's just how the world works.

Moral lesson of the story is, if it is offered today, take it. Especially when you're the one begging for it. You don't assume the other side thinks that you're the center of the universe. They have their own timelines and you don't tell them to take the fight only when you're ready.

Just like Canelo can fight easier opponents than Benavidez for the same money. I think people understand, they just don't like it.

Shields did say that when asked about a potential fight, but Morrell never declined it because he was never formally offered the fight by PBC.

Gavril had done nothing of note before the Benavidez fights and has done nothing of note since then. I'm sure that's not how he wanted his career to unfold but that's how it did. His claim to fame are these two fights against a teenager a decade ago and being a former Mayweather Promotions fighter, that's it.

You don't seem to understand what irrelevant means. Morrell doesn't have to address anything Gavril says, and no one but some random dude on nsb would give him any credit for beating him.

It's hard to fight top 10 guys when they don't want to fight you. Mbilli could have been his mandatory, he passed, and his promoter is out there mentionning everyone but Morrell. Berlanga is Morrell's current mandatory challenger, let's see if he takes the fight. If it doesn't happen, fans will know who to blame.

Benavidez is doing to Morrell what Canelo is doing to him and what Morrell might be doing to someone just below him.

Gavril has knocked out every man he has faced since benavidez

Saying he is irrelevant is a poor excuse

Gavril has been fighting the same type of guys morrell has since he lost to benavidez

morrell has not not been running though everybody around Canelo and benavidez and you can use the excuse “nobody want to fight him” or “it’s hard to get the top 10 guys to fight” but at the end of the day what you fail to understand is that’s it’s just your assumptions

but then we have to assume the same for Gavril if he is claiming that even morrell ducked him twice

Again Gavril has been knocking every out in front of him out since then

and you can downplay what he did to benavidez but that’s still more than anything anybody on morrell record has done including Morrell his self

He is just as irrelevant as Gavril with those ten fights and fighting those ten nobodies does not make him more relevant than gavril

Bottom line he needs to address these allegations before anybody can use the “benavidez is ducking morrell” excuse all bias aside but I know that’s hard for a lot of people here

Risk reward ratio. That's why no one is keen to fight Morrell, just like no one is begging to get a fight with Jaron Ennis.

Lmao tons of people have called out booty idk what your talking about. Benn, Cobbs, rashidi Ellis and stanoinis.

The guy is saying he been getting froze out since the benavidez fight which is why it’s hard for him to stay relevant

He asked to appear on camera and made the claims out his own mouth

gavril would easily be the best name on his record

your acting like he already beat a few of the top guy in the 168 division in those 10 fights he had lmfao

You sound like your stuck in some alternate universe where in those ten fights he beat all the best fighters in the division besides benavidez and canelo and all that’s left is for him to fight them

if he beat ran through top guys in his first ten fights like Lomachenko it would be different

gavril would literally be his best opponent… if he is not that good like your opinion leads you to believe then squashing the ducking allegations and adding the name of the only man to drop benavidez would be the best name on his resume

Gavril isn't even in the division. He's irrelevant at 168. He's just trying to use other people for clout.

The difference is that Benavidez' own dad and promoter said they'd signed for Morrell. That's not Morrell making it up, that's from the mouths of the opponent's team. Gavril isn't even in the division, and has no substantiation whatsoever. If you don't understand the difference between those things, your opinion is irrelevant. Go look up some sources to support Gavril's crap. Can you find even one thing?

Meanwhile Sampson is literally on video saying that "Benavidez v Morrell is 100% going to happen. We have a signed contract.". Ditto Benavidez' father.

[Ctx94]

Pipo, benavidez team took andrade over Morrell Jr, and later around they're on record saying it, also he said if he didn't get the canelo fight he would fight the Cuban. Haven't heard about gavril but if he really wants the fight, he can call him out like ahbeko and he would get his beating.

Assumptions

morrell won’t even fight Gavril and turned it down twice

the man said on camera Morrell turned it down twice

there’s no telling if morrell would even get in the ring with benavidez

the man said they offered the fight to morrell twice and he denied it

And benavidez said they would send an offer but they didn’t then and maybe they changed their mind for whatever ever reason who knows that would be an assumption

it would be different if morrell sent the offer and they denied

did morrell send the offer and they deny??

is there a recording of morrell saying that he sent an offer to fight benavidez and that they turned it down???

there is of one Gavril saying that he sent two to morrell and they turned it down

There's a record of Morrell AND Benavidez' team saying they'd signed for the fight. That's Benavidez's team saying they had a signed contract. And they were the ones that pulled out. There's a ton of sources. This was common knowledge before Benavidez fought Andrade instead. If you weren't paying attention, you have zero business pretending this Gavril nonsense is worth anyone's time. Do your due diligence and look it up yourself. It's not going to be hard to find.

No you have no business making claims without posting proof

where is the recording of benavidez saying they signed the contract to fight morrell


Your just running your mouth and making assumptions

i posted proof of Gavril saying that morrell turned down the fight twice out of his own mouth

your just making claims that benavidez signed the fight for morrell and it was ready to go and he pulled out

but where is the proof If it’s common knowledge it shouldn’t be hard to find

im not going to do it for you
