Comments Thread For: David Benavidez To Face Ronald Ellis In Showtime Main Event March 13

Ok buddy sure

Some of his points have merit. Canelo is driven by profit, but it is called prize fighting. Syd just has a hard on for the whole western hemisphere.

Benavidez and Plant are facing some C+ fighters, so I hope this means they will be fighting EACH OTHER next! Is someone willing to fight Lionell Thompson? Benavidez was ready to fight Uzcategui, why not the guy that beat Uzcategui?

Why is everyone babying Benavidez? His problems are all self inflicted. If Tank tested positive for cocaine or lost his title (again) on the scales he would be crucified without mercy on NSB.

Facts. I like Benavidez, but he is fighting in the wrong division for his size. He's a natural light-heavyweight masquerading at all these lower weights.

Everyone wants to be a weight bully now days. That's why HW is the best division. No one in that division can hide from anyone else with weight games ...

The day is coming though for a Suoer-Heavyweight division.

Trash fight. This is a bigger mismatch tham Canelo-Yildirim

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Yawn...garbage fight - weak for a showtime main event!

[STREET CLEANER]

The guy is obviously cherry picking while waiting for a money fight with Canelo that seems not happening anytime soon...

This is the problem when you have a superstar around certain weights. Top guys take soft touches waiting for that phone to ring instead of making a case for themselves.

David is fighting a guy that won by default on his last fight that he was losing.

He needs big fights NOW! I would love to see him against Canelo. I bet if he continuously called him out over the next couple months he could land that fight next.

[ShoulderRoll]

Benavidez and Plant should fight each other to earn a fight against Canelo. Real talk.

[Silver Spear]

Good. Stay busy and hopefully fight Plant in May/June and the winner faces Canelo in September. The weight he comes in at and his level of intensity will say a lot.

Benavidez has been doing all the right things through this epidemic time. Except his diet but besides that his mind seems in the right place and understanding of the sport he accepts. he doesn't cry or make stupid statements and he takes care of business in the ring. Not to mention in his last fight I watched a very intelligent fighter do what he had to do.
He is young and getting better in every aspect.
I think staying active is the best thing for him to do.
Looking forward to not only his next fight but his career to come..
