This is all a maneuver with the wbc still padding the cradle for Canelo. It's pretty obvious they tossed it out of the blue with guarantees of interims and titles for Benavidez. This isn't about Benavidez vs the 168 runner ups. David has been the top challenger for literal years now and mandatory under one strap. The man has been ranked 168 Ring #1 longer than Morrell has even been a professional fighter. And he didn't get placed there, he actually beat a fellow top 10. Then he demolished another top 10 to rank up. I like and respect Morrell, he has big things ahead. But this is a fans expectation of Saul Alvarez aka Canelo to step tf up to top challengers and defend vs 168 very best. He is the "face of boxing". YOU are the undisputed. This challenge and mega fight has been a no brainer for years now. Yet we excuse it away so Canelo aka Saul Alvarez can continue his low expectations ppv charade and actually have fans anticipating a fight with TBA. It's embarrassing dude.
