Jose Benavidez will be more popular than Oscar De La Hoya!

Benavida who ^^

Exactly.

I want to add that I want to see Benavidez's mental toughness.

Will he rise from controversy? Or will he fall because of it...

In all honestly, lol I'm done with being hyped about fighters. From Zab Judah to every other fighter that has failed to deliver over time as of recent, I'm not even interested in prospects until they've shown they can fight big and win big.

It's like I never used to be able to stand Tim Bradley, but he's been delivering consistently as of late. He should have taken the Alexander fight given how much success he's had so far.

Andre Ward is another fighter that has been steam rolling the comp too.

I really doubt it, great part of Oscar's popularity was because of his gold medal,his background (story), looks and being so articulate. Benavidez has a lot of talent and he's trained by Roach but he won't face Oscar's level of competition on his way up and he won't perform like Oscar did.

I really doubt it, Wasnt De la hoya's first fight on PPV or didnt he get paid like $2M for his first pro fight? I doubt anyone can beat that.
