Benavidez Considering October Callum Fight

[BustedKnuckles]

He's had 2 fights at 175 and fought quality guys like gvodzk and morrell. Should have already fought Smith? Smith wasn't relevant until now. Revisionist history. If he fought him before he would just be a cherry pick I'm sure and he should hsvd fought some other guy

Forgot Gvozdyk too. Anyway, he waited around for a long time without doing much. He's had a few fights in a few years. He's a good fighter but couldve fought Smith, Yarde, or whoever.

I guess Benavidez should get his shot at trilogy winner. Time to find out how good he really is.

Not happening. Smith is going the WBO route and likely fighting Yarde.

Benny hasnt done enough. He fought plant and morrell. Am i missing a third fight in the last few years?

Shoulve already fought smith, and a couple others. Since he didnt, now is the time, and I dont think he should get the top guy until he does at least that.

If not David, who deserves it more than him? Besides Canelo (arguable), I can’t think of anyone else that has done more than David to earn a fight against the winner.

Fair question. Looking at the rankings, he does seem to be the obvious choice, which puts it all in perspective I guess.

I guess my main irritation is that so many boxers sit around and wait, which he did at 168 for Canelo, but I suppose he has been busier at lhw
