Comments Thread For: Spare a thought for David Benavidez

[wrecksracer]

Plant would eat up everyone Benny beat
Benny is not special
This is why his fan(s) won't give his resume a rating

If he’s a chump, why doesn’t Canelo fight him? Alvarez has been on a chump tour for the last few years

You have to figure it too, the way the landscape of the entire world or economy is, so too does that trickle down to boxing. Organizations are looking for maximum returns now and whatever they can to get it. If they have a cash cow, it's most important to take the most low risk/high reward type fights. Not saying that Crawford isn't entirely low risk, though I'm pretty sure they picked him with good reason. They're expecting in no way to lose this fight.

Benny's best day was almost $7 vs DooDoo
Berlanga made $10 vs Sheeraz

Nelo's last 5 opps -
Scull
Berlanga
Munguia
Charla
Ryder

Benny's last 5 -
Morrell
Gvoz
DooDoo
Plant (ha !)

So, YOU TELL ME about some "chump" tour

[TheProudLunatic]

The reluctance of giving Benny's resume a rating says plenty

It's one of the top 5 weakest resume in the sport.

If Nelo never existed, rate Benny's resume
Why is this so difficult

I love ridiculous hypotheticals so let's try a different angle, shall we?
If Ryder, Munguia, Charlo, Scull and Berlanga never existed, who would Canelo fight?

The chump who is ducking Benavides is Canelo

My scenario isn't that far fetched
They may never fight
Hence

I know why there is extreme reluctance to give Benny's resume a rating !

There's soooooooo much to "duck".......
I mean, how many people could have beaten the guys Benny beat
Certainly not Nelo

true he is currently overrated because Saul has yet to fight him

Nelo is just 1 fight

Again, if Nelo never existed, what rating would you give Benny's resume ?
