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

[A.B Counterhooks]

Travesty? Lol boxing scene headlines been really weird lately.

Travesty for who exactly ???

Benavidez and real boxing fans. I’m sure canelo fans will be happy if this fight never happens. Canelo being at risk is too much for their tender hearts to handle.

[Jab jab boom]

Two guys born 13 months apart fight in different eras?

They turned pro 6 years apart. Benavidez was a world champ for 2 years before Morrell even turned pro.

floyd & pac not fighting when it should have happened was a 'Travesty'

not sure this is quite up there at that level, benny kinda wet the bed a bit when he fought a guy closer to his size & out came the excuses as well, he may just be a great weight 'bully' type of guy, actually just like canelo, yeah so maybe they deserve each other

I’m sure you and the rest of boxing fans will survive

Chit happens

Duckavidez should fight cruiserweights instead. This dude is a fraud, now he says he's done with 175 and is willing to go back again to 168? I'll like Morell also staying at 168...Duckavidez is only after a huge payday with Canella but you know what? Canella can beat him to the ass. The last rounds against and older finished Gvozdyk, Duckavidez liked exhausted and defense less despite he was making 189 ponds. What a monster!!

Canelo doesn't have to fight Benavidez. He also should not be able to retain all of the titles at 168 and not face Benavidez. I blame the sanctioning bodies more than him. What else does Benavidez have to do to be a mandatory for Canelo?

Of course fans will survive. Doesn’t take away from the ducking that’s currently going on and will likely be a permanent stain on Canelo’s already tainted legacy.

You're right, duck happens all the time.

I don't know, man. Feels like they're in the same boat.
