Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: The careers of Mike Tyson and Larry Holmes, Benavidez-Morrell and the undercard, and Canelos greatness at 168lbs

Another thing, Bread saying Benavidez doesn’t have large hands means absolutely nothing obviously! Given the fact that Ronnie Shields said before the fight that Morrell had the biggest hands he’d ever seen on a light heavyweight!

I remember actually looking into the case against Margarito. and he was using old used wraps on knuckles but there was no foreign substance found. wish that would get cleared up and we could all understand 1 truth about that. anyone else here read that? there was a hearing on that and that was something brought out.

Really?

Is there any articles or vids I can watch about that

I'd love to see that.

First off bread, Benavidez chose not to activate his WBC mandatory against Canelo when it was his turn and force him to duck or fight. He decided to move up instead.

You need to stop spreading this propaganda. There is no such thing as a fighter activating mandatory. Only the sanctioning body does that by ordering the fights. You are using a canelo fanboy invented talking point. Apparently you seem to think Benavidez could have got the Canelo fight but chose not to because he is scared or too ******. lol.

I agree with Bread that Benavidez has a better chance against Bivol style wise (then Beterbiev). Based on his fight with Gvozdyk, I thought Benavidez had no chance at 175 but in his fight with Morrell he showed huge improvements at this weight so now he is competitive. I still think he gets stopped by healthy Arthur (no injuries).

Just wanna point out that this is not to take anything away from Benny but Morrell played right into his hands
First he was way to stationary which blew my mind coming from the Cuban school of boxing
Secondly instead of boxing he decided to fight tooth and nail which was one of the worst plans I had ever seen
I’ll explain why ; he could of boxed him ( Morrell is the better technically speaking boxer ) and banked some rounds
Then , as we all know , Benny runs out of steam and imo that would of been the moment ( around the seventh or eighth round ) to actually go balls out
Also not a big fan of Ronnie Shields who imo did a terrible job of planning to begin with but also no words of wisdom either
Yes , Benny did well and looked great ( which I didn’t think he had in him ) but let’s be honest he had a guy right in front of him willing to trade
So i congratulate him for his performance but the verdict is not final on Benny and I think his power and stamina didn’t carry over to light heavyweight so ……..

I think you have to be a purist to deny it would have been entertaining to see if a smaller elite fighter in his prime could knock out big Jake

Id like to see Canelo say to Paul we can fight, winner take all, Paul doesnt deserve that payday so if he wants to mouth off fight the man winner take all and I bet Paul wants nothing to do with that which would sort out the Cats from the Pigeons.

No you dumb f***! Since he was undisputed at the time, each sanctioning body takes a turn. When it was the WBC turn, Benavidez could have enforced his mandatory position or had Canelo vacate. If he would have done that instead of moved up in weight he would have put the pressure on him and made him fight or vacate like GGG did!
