Vasily Lomchenko and Jorge Linares in my opinion skill for skill are superior fighters than David Benavidez 'Ryan Garcia even though I don't regard him as a proven World level fighter, people would have to admit? That pound for pound, all of those fighters which I am highlighting who competed against Luke Campbell? Are better fighters by far than David Morrell Junior'.
Note: The main point I was trying to make on this thread was? That David Benavidez vs David Morrell Junior 'Was nothing much more than a domestic level American fight. We only had one truly World level fighter in this match up, David Benavidez. And he was competing against David Morrell Junior, who has achieved nothing much in the professional ranks. Those are the objective facts. Just because Benavidez and Morrell Junior, are American or American based fighters. That does not mean they are the pinnacle of the sport, or even genuine World to Elite level fighters'.
To conclude: David Benavidez vs David Morrell Junior was no 175 pound coronation 'Callum Smith vs Joshua Buatsi is most likely a similar level fight. You have one proven World level fighter in Callum Smith, the former WBA and Lineal Ring Magazine Super Middle Weight Champion vs Joshua Buatsi the current WBO Interim light Heavyweight Champion and a fighter who is still undefeated in the professional ranks. Both Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi also were higher level Amateur fighters than David Benavdiez and David Morrel Junior. Smith was the Commonwealth Amateur Champion, and Buatsi the Olympic Bronze Medallist in 2016'.
Maybe a good fight to make for David Benavidez would be against the winner of Callum Smith vs Joshua Buatsi etc.
