Comments Thread For: Spare a thought for David Benavidez

[SouthpawRight]

More than likely he would loose in worse fashion but it is a lucrative fight.

I guess it could happen if following surgery layoff Bivol is in need of a tune-up and Saul beats TBud convincingly

but Saul is in the pick easy opponents mode

Wrong. I have not made excuses I don't want to see Bud Canelo mismatch. Canelo should have fought Benavidez. Casual fans wanted Bud Canelo is whati thought initially but now you look at the reaction lots of boxing fans are picking Bud to win inc ex boxer media etc. More people are going to watch this mismatch then the amount of people that would have watched Canelo Benavidez

I explained you are wrong. Casuals barely know Bud he was inactive with no profile. More casuals know the Mexican monster because he was the opponent Canelo was ducking for years in his own division. Polling for both fights was 2-1 in favor of wanting Benavidez over Crawford. More hardcore and casuals wanted the Benavidez fight.

would David still be able to make 168 if Saul calls

doubt it. that fight is dead anyway. he would never call and if he did, what's the point? Canelo will be 36 next year, the fight lost its value.
