Comments Thread For: David Benavidez: A Fight With Me & Canelo Would Be Explosive!

[Verus]

They both are prideful of being Mexican and consider themselves Mexican although I’m also sure David is proud and should feel blessed to have grown up in USA... regardless, the boy represents Mexico with pride and so does canelo. The fight itself would be HUGE!

Yes, it would be a huge fight. Let's see if it happens.

Of course it’s not in consideration to the topic at hand that neither brother are fighters at Benevidez weight class.....

The post I replied to brought up the subject so I responded to that and moving up a weight class should eventually be in both Charlo brothers cards from 160 to 168 isn't a giant leap

Southern Europeans are brown. Most people from Latin America are brown. South Asians are brown. Arabs are brown. People from India are brown.

It doesn't mean that they are the same race.

So white black and those other weird names I see... well I don’t see race, I see national pride though... we are all humans that come from different parts of the world grow up in different parts but we’re all still human.. some are proud to represent where they are from, David is from the USA, but his family come from Mexico and he is proud of that... no issue with that for me

Benavidez is a strong fighter, but he was exposed in his fight against Dirrell. He still has a lot to learn as a boxer. Canelo, would school him the way Floyd did when Canelo was still green.

Lloyd Honeyghan exposed Donald Curry. Simon Brown exposed Terry Norris. Buster Douglas exposed Mike Tyson. The word “exposed” in how you are using it seems strange since Benevidez stopped the man who supposedly “exposed” him.....

Ouch David was exposed? Dirrel was carried much too fast for his liking...he was uncomfortable with the pace from round 2 on and was eventually stopped.

You can make a case that the Dirrel win represents the best win of any of the 168lbers. It’s certainly up for debate.

Exposed-no. Boxing fans saw everything they needed to see from a young lion facing a cagey vet.

Good to know. I was referring to the peoples of the Middle East of which Arabs are only one of many ethnic groups. Non-Arabs in this region include the Berbers (Moors) ***s, Persians, Turks, Assyrians (Iraqis) and Egyptians. But your point is well taken.

It’s interesting you bring up Egyptians....a very misunderstood people even by its own population. The people are a mix of Arabs, Turks, Mamluks and various southeast Europeans who settled there in the Arabic and ottoman eras....Greeks, Romans, and Persians who came after the native egyptian rule fell in the late period (creating the Coptic peoples who are a mix of Greek and native nile valley peoples)....and then the actually peoples of the Nile valley who had intermingled for thousands of years, the upper Egyptians, the lower Egyptians, and about 6 different ethnic groups of “nubians” (such as the Medjhay who made up a special operations police force in Egypt that only medjjhay ethnic group could be apart of)....a very interesting history it’s had. Most of what we see in Cairo these days are peoples made up of Arab, Turkish, and Greek extraction. I remember learning in college that there was more Greek blood in Egypt and Northern Africa then there is in Northern Europe

David Benavidez is Mexican-American the mecca of boxing is the United States and he fights here but of course he is going to market to the Mexican public because he is half Mexican from Arizona which has a big Mexican influence your lineage doesn't change regardless of where you were born. The people that usually hate on this the most on this forum are people with no cultural identity they don't realize that in Latino communities they hold on to traditions and their culture more than a lot of others so they always want an excuse to hate get it over man.

By the way there is only 3 races Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid and Latinos are usually are mix of all 3. Culture is what makes the difference in distinguishing what makes each country unique. Like someone said Mexico is a very diverse country just like any country in the Western Hemisphere the East will be like that soon with all the migration from the Arab Spring and African conflicts.

Genetic groups have really taken the mantle from the colonial/imperialist era classifications of race. A people can be more defined by their genetic groups rather than the 3 racial classifications which came out of european concepts of race during the height of european racism.
