    Because he is scared of getting whooped. Its not complicated. Biggest duck in history also.

    Because Benavidez is a natural cruiserweight if not a heavyweight. It's not fair to match a 6'2'' giant with a 5'7'' super middleweight.

    No old school boxing fan would really believe that nonsense. Its weight not height divisions. Callum Smith was taller than Benavidez anyway.

    He didn't look like a giant next to Gvozdyk or Morrel.

    The momentum is bigger when you're taller and have longer limbs. And they're same weight on weigh-in day, not on fight day.
