Comments Thread For: Hearn Asks WBC To Order David Benavidez vs. Callum Smith

[Bmore18]

Lol at Hearn saying this when he already knows Benavidez has to fight Yildrim next. Benavidez then will probably fight Plant which is a bigger fight (in terms of $$) than Smith as much as I'd like to see it

[DuckAdonis]

Lol at you. Dirrell is more proven & is a bigger win than anybody on Smith's resume. & Benavidez didn't even break a sweat in dominating him. Groves is Smith's best win & while he gave all the notable guys he's fought a tough fight(including Smith), he lost to every one of them.

Groves is way better than Dirrell was at this point. Dirrel couldn't even beat Yildirim clearly, same dude who got destroyed by Eubank Jr in a few rounds who lost to Groves. Dirrell was absolute trash and Benavidez is overrated as hell

Lets see if the WBC does it

A Groves who came off of shoulder surgery was better than Dirrell at their respective points in time of their fights. Sure dude. A win is a win regardless of how it's obtained or how disputed it is. If Benavidez is overrated, then Smith is even more so bc he's proven even less than him. They'll eventually cross paths & we'll see which one is for real.

Lol slow down smith ain’t beating David lol not even close Benavidez hurts him badly.

But I hope wbc orders it fingers crossed.

You're in for a surprise then. But we both know you're delusional and will claim Mexicans are great even though they've proven nothing. I remember you getting slapped about when talking about Loma and him supposedly ducking Linares. You said Linares would beat the shlt out of him. You said the same about Rigo too. haha.

We know your madness when it comes to Euro fighters. We know you're a homer when it comes to Mexicans. But your patheticness will be there for all to see like it always is when the time comes.

Yes, give this man a live body finally, and from America who is his own height and size. Please, don't make this just a name drop, but an actual thing.

Groves was a live body. He was more proven than any of them in the US. It's the US fighters who need a live body because they're all fighting garbage.

Hearn cashing out his champs against some real lions now

He's cashing them out? What???? So he's doing this so he doesn't have any more champs left? Haha. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

No, he's doing what a proper promoter should do by getting his fighters the fights they want and need. There is no cashing out going on. Plus, British fighters are more proven than they are in the US. Go on, dispute this and i'll happily put you right.

I think so as well. I really can't understand all of this hullabaloo around Callum Smith, who has beaten nobody but two shot former champs.

Groves wasn't shot. A bit past his best after the Froch fights? Sure. But not shot. But you're saying this in defence of Benevidez who has done much less against nobodies? Did you see him have a close fight with that bum in Gavril? They had to do a rematch because some thought it should have gone the other way.

Callum has more talent in one hand than benevidez will ever have. You'll see how good he is when he's in there with a legit fighter. Not some clown called Dirrell who is past it and never good to begin with. Hell, Yildrim was ripped off after beating him up. Bika was too back in the day. So who has Dirrell ever beat when he was prime? No one is the answer. Now he's just finished. But he still caused Benevidez plenty of problems. Seems to be a habit for him against bums. Callum most certainly isn't a bum. you'll see soon enough.

[Sid-Knee]

Then what about Smith struggling quite a bit with that Nieky Holzken nonentity in the Super Series?

You have to look at the potential in this case. Benavidez looks like someone who is still in his third gear, but hits like a fùcking mule as the poet would have it.

Smith - at least in my opinion - will find his level as soon as he fights someone at the top.

As of now I see Benavidez by stoppage as the pick in an eventual fight between he and Smith.

You mean the Holzken he dominated? Yeah, he had such a struggle in that one didn't he...

When Callum has a proper fight in front of him, he'll be motivated to do a proper job. And that's what he'll do. Just watch.

[Sid-Knee]

Lets do it. Its wonky Callum is the #1 guy at 168 & sitting on his hands. Lets make some big fights.

Well, who do you think is the number 1 fighter at 168? Callum is the most proven as his groves win is better than anything anyone else has done. Plus, he was hoping for them to join him in the competition. But they all ran instead. So lets hope he's able to get his hands on them. Ramirez has already done a runner after hearing Hearn/Arum wanted to set up that fight. Lets hope the others don't do the same as well.
