Comments Thread For: David Benavidez receives WBA ?world? belt, still in line as mandatory challenger

[SouthpawRight]

Until Benavidez will prove himself against an elite fighter, he will stay as a paper/email champion. If Turki AllThat**** would've believed that Benavidez deserved a shot to any of the major belts/champions of this era, he would've had it by now. But Turki never mentioned this fraudster

Mexican David insulted Turki when he didn’t sit ringside for Bivol-Artur 2

that isn’t the action of a man serious about facing the winner

[SouthpawRight]

Bivol has held the IBF the longest

IBF ranks Imam Khataev highly

will beating Imam followed by another opponent put Morrell in the top spot

in Q4 2026 I much rather see Bivol-Morrell than Bivol-Random German

[TheProudLunatic]

now David has the fake WBA belt because he didn’t earn it ROFL

this is exactly why the champ should ignore sanctioning mandatories. Next up would be a random mainland Euroid euro level athlete:

At some point, the winner will be ordered to make an overdue IBF mandatory title defense against Germany’s Michael Eifert, 13-1 (5 KOs).

A faceless, fanless hype job who only exists because a group of fake fight fans hate Nelo.

So many emotional people

let see if Benny does a better job on Callum than Alvarez did

He should as he’s doing it after Alvarez and then the beat down Artur gave Callum

Benny will no doubt get more credit

Then why is Alvared afraid of him then? He will fight anybody not named David Benavidez

Can someone with the best active resume be afraid of anyone ?!?
Especially of one with the worst resume in boxing ?!?
How much credit would you give Nelo if he had Benny's resume

That's what I mean, it's silly to have to go all round the houses (or as I call it in this particular instance, virtue signalling) instead of doing things in a straightforward manner to begin with.

Lest we forget, not so very long ago the WBA made a big song & dance about implementing their 'Title Reduction Plan' lol.

Man you def right about this. They could have just had him remain mandatory without dusting off the “regular” title that they said they were getting rid of.

outside of that though, I agree with a Beterbiev trilogy while also ensuring David gets his shot after.

This is becoming the norm. Mandatory fighters waiting so long that they get some sort of title emailed to them which doesn't guarantees anything.

Lol the only paper champion now is Cheatnello. This guy fights nobodies constantly. Such a joke.
