Don't get me wrong. He's a really good and entertaining fighter. But I've said it before and I'll say it again. Benavidez is ducking Morrell because he always need an extreme size difference to win. He doesn't have that with Morrell plus Morrell has youth, speed, and boxing ability on his side. Benavidez was hitting Gvozdyk with bombs and Benavidez's face looked worse at the end of the fight. Do I want to see him fight Canelo? OF COURSE! But let's not act like Canelo is at a huge disadvantage and that's the only reason he could lose. Skill for skill, Benavidez is nowhere near Canelo's level. At the end of the fight the first thing he said he wanted to do was go down to 168 for the titles. LOL, he didn't even mention Bivol/Beterbiev, the commentator had to ask him if he'd fight them. He knows he's a weight bully and realized the same thing Canelo realized, it's different at 175. The difference is Canelo is actually small for 168. 175 is where Benavidez should be fighting. He didn't even wobble Gvor ever make him look uncomfortable. Hell, Gvozdyk won the last few rounds.

He's got no power at all against guys his size
He landed 50% power shots on geriatric Gvozdyk and could even wobble him -
