    Of course he did. Why step up when so many call you the next great anyway?

      Obviously these guys are just early hyping a potential rivalry. There is a near 0% chance TR would let the fight happen...and when it can happen TR will likely still be a thorn in the side of a deal being made assuming Bob is still alive by that time.

            No shame in that, Berlanga is a young fighter still working his way up

            Yeah David is still young himself but more experienced and a 2x World Champ

              Berlanga is too wet behind the ears to get in there with a monster like Benavidez at this stage.

                Berlanga wouldn't get a 1st round KO against Benavidez, that's for damn sure.

                  Benavidez should be embarrassed trying to make that fight. Shameful

                    I mean Berlanga is still green. He needs to really earn a shot at a world champion before jumping in with the sharks.
