Brace for Reality When it Comes to Benevidez

You're right, it is already happening. Struggled against Morrell. Beat the easiest champions at 175 and 200.

He will have his hands full against Opetaia and Beterbiev, but won't fight them by following Canelo's path of least resistance.

That being said, Benavidez is a very good boxer / fighter. If he beat Opetaia, Beterbiev and Bivol, he would have to be close to p4p #1.

 

Imagine if Jai did that to Zurdo and David went the distance with Glanton.

 

Yes because..

Plant
Andrade
Gvozdyk (first fight at 175)
Morrell
Yarde
Zurdo (first fight at 200)

Is following the path of least resistance.

Keep hating.

As for OP. Yes you should brace for reality. David is a great fighter and will keep proving it.

 

Careful with that logical and well thought out statement! People don’t like that kind of thing

 

What is this based off? Bivol has a fight coming up. And word is, Bivol and Beterbiev finish the trilogy later this year.

 

To straighten the whole conversation out:

1 Benavidez wins against zurdo (big win)
2 people overhype benavidez to the moon and back, say he might beat usyk
3 others see the madness in that and counter that and some of them overcorrect and trash benavidez

Can we just say it is a great win, he has good reasons not to fight opetaia and his only logical next opponents are beterbiev and bivol?

I see bivol winning btw, because i don't see any (!) footwork from benavidez. Have you seen how quick bivol is in and out on his feet? If he wants to avoid the fight he can do it as long as he wants....

 

I don't think anyone is really saying he could beat Usyk. Maybe a couple or over zealous posters at most?
From what I'm seeing, not too many are even sure he beats Opetaia.

But you are right. People get stupid after a fighter has a good win. Whether it's over selling the win, or just trashing him because of what posters say.

 

it would still be a great fight. At some point Bivol has to engage.

 

He's missed the boat.

He has nobody anyone cares to watch him fight

boxing is entering a deep slump right now and he'll be at the bottom of it, jerking off to the idea of fame and glory of which will never come.

 

He did quit, he went down on one knee and wanted no more. That is quitting, it’s fine and I don’t blame him, but he quit. Quitting doesn’t always have to be seen as an intolerable thing, live to fight another day and so on.

 

What do you call morrell, Yarde and moving up 25lbs to fight a unified champion? He has been taking risky fights since Plant. You are acting like he has been a Canelo euro tour or something. Now he is chasing Bivol, is that enough? Who does he need to fight ?

Name me 1 boxer in the sport that has fought 6 top opponents in a row. No tune ups, no show case fights. Go ahead.

 

I listed punchers. Morrell was putting people in comas, and had a lot of hype as a dangerous young lion. Yarde gave Beterbiev one of his toughest fights. They were tougher opponents than BJS, Callum Smith, Ryder, Kirkland, Angulo, Liam Smith, Rocking Fielding, Yildrim

Who should he have fought and who should be fight next?
