Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Being Denied a Canelo Alvarez Fight Would Be a 'Travesty'

[BoxingUpdates]

Bernard Hackett, trainer and father of welterweight Jalil Hackett, has an interesting take on whether Saul "Canelo" Alvarez needs to fight David Benavidez, as well as where David Morrell fits into the equation.

Objectively speaking, Canelo may not be quite such a pinchi puta as he appears because he has Floyd & Fury as his role models here.

Fury spent so many years in various wildernesses & all it did was make him more valuable.

'Money' actively negotiated the terms of several fights for literally years & the rest is his laughter all the way to the bank.

Saul is slow-baking this already slow-marinated matchup, probably until Benny gets a few more of the casuals to share in his outrage.

Travesty for who exactly ???

Alvared will have a famous ducking asterisk attached to his Hall of Fame status

Would be nice if Sampson's friend ProBox/BoxingScene was agitating at least half as much for Benavidez to fight Morrell.

The fight will happen but unfortunately for us boxing fans. it won’t happen until Canelo gets older, title-less and as his stock begins to drop. A few losses here and a couple of knockout losses there. Coupled with the fact that somebody close to him has been cleaning out the funds in his banking accounts then he will fight Benavidez then but not before.

I like David Bena, but he needs to not go after a man who doesn't want to fight him because that carrot top only fights boxers he knows he can beat- give it up , from what I saw, David's not ready for Bivol, maybe another fight at 175, he has to learn how to carry that weight

[BronxPride67]

Morell is only a hype, stop putting him above levels he hasn't reached yet, of course he looks good, he hasn't fought anything but tomato cans

Two guys born 13 months apart fight in different eras?

The fight I want to see most in Boxing is Canelo vs Benavidez. It will happen imo.

I feel like Canelo is not going to accept the Saudi money to fight Bud Crawford.
