if morrel is a prospect wtf is bumavidez? dude name 1 elite boxer besides plant that cocavidez has fought? morrell is going school this fraud.

[@E2you]

175 is going to be a hot division. Pacheco probably moves up to 175 sooner than later as he continues to fill out.

[@sinistergzzz1341]

Dude needs to fight Diego Pacheco or Plant first or berlanga

[@tonycarrillo6009]

Munguia needs to fight Berlanga too

[@elipuebla2537]

Mungia should have fought pacheco or Morrell first.

[@bhongonkumanda7630]

How is this man fighting Andrade at the TankMartin card in June, then fighting another opponent at CrawfordMadrimov card in August. Work ethic is very commendable

[@Zionjrpro]

its confirmed he fighting on both cards?

[@bhongonkumanda7630]

@Zionjrpro Not sure, but I saw him on both cards...so most likely yes.

[@Obstakill]

@@bhongonkumanda7630He’s not fighting Boo Boo. That was an unofficial card they put out there...

[@bhongonkumanda7630]

@Obstakill Oh ok. Thanks for letting me know, brother

[@gungho1000]

Are you even putting attention to what you wrote? You just made my case by naming Charlo and Munguia as some of his top feats… Charlo went up two weight classes to fight him and Munguia has only fought twice at 168. That is not chasing greatness.

[@OmaritoElAldeano]

Morrell JR 🐐🔥🥊

[@Santana482]

This guy ducked Benavidez twice

[@briggjohnson358]

I know Morell ducked Benavidez back in 2022 ..when was the second time?

[@paulelago9453]

Benavidez said he won't fight Morrel, unless there is a belt. Morrel called him out but he ducking with excuses

[@efraynrz3114]

11 pro fights vs cab drivers and wants a payday

[@ChristianRivera-wg8nv]

It’s perfect for benavidez benavidez has like cab drivers as well

[@rodycalvente4648]

No entendí nada en esta entrevista!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Factsoverfeels8]

This goofy team 🦆 the Benavidez offer. When Benavidez beats him what are they going to say after? 😂😂😂

[@Obstakill]

They didn’t duck anything. He had a fight lined up with Benevidez with the contract in hand, but soon as Boo Boo said he wanted to fight Benevidez. He turned Morrell down to fight Boo Boo...

Benavidez will put some hurt to Morell.This guy talks alot hasn't fought nobody great.

Benavidez best win was an overhyped Andrade who's a 154lb and Caleb Plant split decision, who Canelo knocked out 😂

[@FernandoLopez-cl5nx]

@paulelago9453 go check Canelo's boxing history and see all the knock outs .You must not know much it seems.

[@dlowvala1683]

Smoking tha tobacco papi .......I'm not you papi don't call me papi 😂😂 iykyk ..

[@gungho1000]

He’s right, all of Canelo’s past few fights (including Munguía) have been bullshit. Absolutely no good reason why Morrell and Benavidez have not had the opportunity to fight Canelo. Orchestrated greatness at its best.

[@xaga3161]

Keep crying 😂

[@gungho1000]

@@xaga3161Sorry you were triggered, but the truth hurts.

[@xaga3161]

@@gungho1000 Canelo is a four division champion and undisputed at 168. A fighter who started his career at welterweight and moved up to fight fighters with reach/height advantages. And ppl like you just looking for something to hate on. Hilarious 😂. Benavidez & Morrell can create their own legacy. They’ll be fine.

[@SorianoBoys]

dont forget canelo is a few fights away from breaking most world champions of all time beaten, so he cant be cherry picking any worse than any other boxer in the history of the sport, when he breaks the record then you can never claim he didn't fight good opposition, canelo is chasing legacy/statistics, its obvious canelos going for that record, a champ is a champ, he fought jermell charlo who has been champ, now munguia who has been a champ, im sure he will end his career with a David Benavidez fight, and if he doesn't ill be disappointed, but not call his career "Orchestrated Greatness" when his entire career hes been great but people acting like 1 man will ruin his entire legacy. It's insane.

Canelo might face Morrel to prepare for Benavidez, but Morrel will quit him

[@paulelago9453]

Morrel not beating Canelo, but it's weird you think he's a tune up for Benavidez when he's the better fighter

[@gddd6061]

Canelo is happy Morell went up to 175 to have the WBA regular belt. Now he can finally avoid him and fight who he really wanted to fight from the get go, bum Berlanga. The minute Morell wins his fight at 175, he will get stripped of his 168 WBA regular title, making Berlanga the official mandatory challenger SMH 😂
