Comments Thread For: What is the best next fight for David Benavidez?

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

Anthony Yarde in England, Jesse Hart or Albert Ramirez in Vegas. That is, if he can't get the winner of B vs B for his next fight.

Yarde is a freaking horse of a man. He gave Beterbiev problems for a while. That would be a great fight.

Maybe David Benavidez should fight the winner of Callum Smith vs Joshua Buasti 'The reason why I say this? Is because Benavidez vs Morrell Junior was no 175 pound coronation. The fight was nothing much more than a Domestic level American based fight'.

The aura and intimation levels which Benavidez had in the 168 pound divisions, is definitively decreasing at 175 pounds 'So far Benavidez during his 175 pound campaign. He has fought twice, and been unable to score any knockdowns or knockouts vs his opponent's. Tactically when promoting and match making a fighter with the attributes of David Benavidez, you would expect his invasion of the 175 pound divisions to be more violently destructive'.

We have seen those methods used with past great fighters such as David Haye 'When he invaded the Heavyweight Division. Haye was matched vs solid opposition, and proceeded to smash and destroy his competition. The effect of those performances built momentum in Haye's career, and supported his march towards a Heavyweight title fight'.

I am witnessing certain sections of the boxing community and media, combining to try their upmost best 'To make everyone belief that David Benavidez is some sort of monster fighter. When in reality at 175 pounds, his performances have not synced with that perception'.

Note: I personally think the winner of Callum Smith vs Joshua Buasti, has a very strong claim 'That they should fight for a World title. When you analyse that match up, it is actually a higher level fight than David Benavidez vs David Morrell Junior. You have one proven World level fighter in Callum Smith, the former WBA and Lineal Ring ****zine Super Middle Weight Champion vs Joshua Buatsi the current WBO Interim light Heavyweight Champion and a fighter who is still undefeated in the professional ranks. Both Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi also were higher level Amateur fighters than David Benavdiz and David Morrel Junior. Smith was the Commonwealth Amateur Champion, and Buatsi the Olympic Bronze Medallist in 2016'.

Critics of Canelo Alvarez suggest that he is avoiding David Benavidez 'I don't think that is entirely the situation. Canelo Alvarez is the Undisputed Super middleweight Champion. Benavidez currently is no longer competing in the 168 pound division, and since he has made the moved to 175 pounds? In my opinion, this has been the only time he has suddenly started behaving like he really wanted to fight Canelo Alvarez'.

David Benavidez has had many of opportunities to confront Canelo Alvarez in person 'But he has chosen not to use those methods. The best opportunity in recent times for Benavidez to challenge Alvarez, was during the fight week of Jaime Munguia vs Canelo Alvarez. What people need to understand is that David Benavidez is a challenger in both the 168 pound and 175 pound divisions. The onus is on him to step towards those Champions, and challenge them by the use of old school tactics within physical reality'.

To conclude: The reason why I stated this is because? Fighters at the level and with the prestige of Canelo Alvarez 'At any given time, Champions at that level have many challenges and opportunities which they can pursue. David Benavidez is just one of the mega boxing events which Canelo Alvarez can be involved in'.

The hardcore fans of David Benavidez, and certain folk in the boxing community 'Need to understand that Benavidez moving up into the 175 pound divisions, is not the equivalent in this era of Floyd Mayweather Junior or Manny Pacquiao moving up into the 140 to 147 pound Divisions. Those fighters were all-time great Champions, at the stage of their careers when they invaded those divisions'.

David Benavidez in comparison, is for sure a World level fighter 'And challenger'. Therefore in my opinion his next fight, should be against the other top level 175 pound fighters who are also close to a World title fight. I don't think ether Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev are obligated as Champions to fight David Benavidez next in their Championship reigns' etc.

You also can’t discount Benavidez at cruiser, and Jai Opetaia, Zurdo Ramirez and Oleksandr Usyk at 200lbs are all serious fights.

Jesus wept, have a day off.

some truth, but a lot of Bull**** in your post... Canelo chosing to fight Ryder, Charlo, Munguia and Berlanga is clearly a duck of Benavidez (the two-time champion at 168 and clearly the #1 challenger for several years). Berlanga was not even a Top 10 ranked fighter... If it quacks, it a duck...

Are you f'ing serious to post this: "Benavidez currently is no longer competing in the 168 pound division, and since he has made the moved to 175 pounds? In my opinion, this has been the only time he has suddenly started behaving like he really wanted to fight Canelo Alvarez." Idiot speak, wow, fuuuuuuk, STFU!!

Princekool is blue in the face choking Canelo's ding dong down his throat

This comment by one of the writers “questions, by the way, shouldn't only be directed at Alvarez, but those who will fund Alvarez-Crawford, given that they just as easily could have funded Alvarez-Benavidez” really isn’t valid because funding or no funding, Canelo isn’t willing to step in the ring with Benavidez. He lacks the balls to do so. Can’t force a man to fight if he’s adamantly against it.

But you can make his ducking even more blatant by calling his bluff and paying his asking price, or even a fraction of it. You don't think there's more pressure if Turki comes out and says he's willing to give Canelo a $100 million purse to fight Benavidez? Canelo turned down $7 million before, because he got around $35 million each to fight Munguía and Berlanga. $7 million is a chump change offer for him, when he's making $70 million to fight guys at that level. Jake Paul got $40 million vs Tyson. That could be a $100 million fight. So if he's making that kind of money vs that level of opposition, only the people funding Crawford v Canelo are likely to pay enough for a Benavidez fight to make him look unreasonable for turning it down.

what 7 million are you talking about? Benavidez said Canelo turned down 70 mil. More than Canelo has made for any fight. He already looks unreasonable for turning it down.

[TelMex]

Why even make a bull**** interim fight if the winner had no intention fighting for undisputed.

[SkinG209]

Add another circus fight, make Wilder vs Benavidez at cruiser weight! 50/50 fight at this point!!!
