    No, but at least be honest about it.

    I’d love to see the Mexican monster fight Beterbiev.

    What’s to be honest about when seeking money in “prize fighting”? None of these guys are fighting for free. They are all looking for the biggest check. What’s known doesn’t have to be said.

    Not sure it would be all that competitive, Beterbiev would just rabbit punch the living hell out of him, like he did Joe Smith Jr, and stop him in 3 or 4 rounds.

    It’s bad when you turned down your contemporaries and only fight unranked no names while waiting for a fight acting like the money man is scared, when you yourself scared to fight anybody else good unless it’s them

    At least Plant was partially to blame for much of that due to his stance. Not sure how Joe's face first aggression resulted in like 30 rabbit punches in less than 2 rounds.:lol:

    Somehow Beterbiev's shots always lands on the back of the head lol. Dude is dangerous with that ****, don't think just anyone could just replicate the way he does it lol.

    Benavidez will do as well as Joe Smith did against Bivol & Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev knocks him out and Bivol gives him a boxing clinic.

    you can’t build fights by ducking fights, that’s why outside of Canelo none of these new guys have become stars.. how you gonna get ppl to care or watch you consistently if you barely fighting and when you do fight is usually vs subpar comp?

    manny vs Floyd sold 4mil because both were certified killers in the sport one 5-weight champ the other 8*-weight champ, both beat legend after legend. These guys aren’t legends and ain’t putting on legendary fights.. only guy I’d put on that status is Canelo, everybody else need more fights can’t be 23-0 talking about you a legend

    Good thing Benavidez hasn’t ducked anyone. So is making smart business decisions good for fighters or not?

    Benavidez just ducked Andrade last year, and no ducking fights is not good for fighters.

    I ain't even seen him sniff at LHW yet, and he's being matched up against the two top guns of the division?

    That's silly. The eye test doesn't suggest he can just move up and wreak havoc against anyone. He'd have to show me something against someone in the top 15 first.............LHW's are big, bigger than him (acknowledging he's not little). LHW's are all effectively HWs.
