Benavidez and Uzcategui for Aug WBC 168-lb title eliminator

[Rotten Apple]

Benavidez is not the next Messiah who will beat the antichrist Canelo. I think you have created a superhero out of Benavidez when he is just an ordinary fighter and just a naughty boy.

I did the same thing with Callum Smith and he let me down. He was awful. Do not make the same mistake.

He doesn't really think Benavidez can beat Alvarez. But he needs someone to hate on Alvarez with. Normally he would go with a Puerto Rican hype job. But he can't. The top middleweight Puerto Rican fighters are Carlos Hernandez and Hector Morla. Hernandez is 15-23. Morla (who's already 30) is 1-1-1. No go there. At 168 Puerto Rico's top fighter is the 0-7 Jose Leon. To his credit only 1 of those 7 losses is by knock out. But still nothing happening there. Yeah the youngster Berlanga is there. But no way he dares mentioning he should fight Alvarez. At Light Heavyweight Vincent Miranda is there at 18-2. But those 2 losses are by knock out to a 9-16 fighter and a 5-6 fighter. But that's still not gonna work. Enter David Benavidez. A fighter he dislikes but he needs someone.
