    Thoughts on David Morell? Do you see this guy becoming a big name at some point?

    He’s already calling out David Benavidez to challenge him after KOing Falcao and seems really confident in his abilities despite having on 9 fights. I’d like to see him take on Canelo and Benavidez sometime in the future. So far from what we’ve seen he can really do it all in the ring, he just needs to continue stepping up in competition.

    A class talent. Maybe even A+. Doubt he'll ever be a star though as most big names will avoid him imo and I don't feel he's too marketable

    I think Shakur, Boots, and Morrell are the three best young southpaws in the sport.

    As for becoming a star? Highly doubtful. When's the last time a Cuban was a big name?

    Gavilan was probably the only Cuban boxer in history who was a real mainstream star.

    Rodriguez is certainly among the best young southpaws. and more proven than them 3.

    Jesse is up there, and it's sad that Ennis' career doesn't seem to be progressing.

    Jesse I don't think is a generational talent the way Shakur is.

    Morrell I think beats Benavidez pretty soon. Benavidez's best chance is to fight him in the Fall.

    Don’t forget Robeisy Ramirez, that guy is very talented. He also beat Shakur in the Olympics.

    Bam is a beast. Definitely the future of the little guys IMO.

    Tons of people seem to hate him though.

    Bam has a bright future, he’s great to watch.

    I don’t know why he gets hate, especially from boxingforum24.

    I do think Morrell is a great talent, that is clear. I think he needs to work on that defence though, it might be because of the level he's operating at right now, but you don't want it to become a bad habit.

    Bam got beat up really bad in his last fight.. don’t see how he can last long at the top if he takes that kind of punishment much.

    Yeah I’m thinking Benavidez bit off more than he could chew. Morrell is a beast with a good amateur background. Hopefully the fight itself is competitive.

    Winner of this fight must face Canelo next.

    Only way it makes any sense at all for benavidez is if the Saudis are willing to overpay him

    Morrell needs to start stepping up his comp. Would like to see Morrell take on David Benavidez in the future.

    Relax the guy has less than 10 fights and has literally beat no one. You did the same with Shakur calling him a generational talent in this very thread. How stupid do you feel now calling that pussy a generational talent after the Delos santos fight? Please slap yourself.

    Canelo should stop the young pup Morrell in his track...use him as a TUNE UP fight in May before fighting(or not) Benevidez in September. Canelo needs a TUNE UP...why not? Let's see it..

    A poster who uses ChatGPT to generate a plethora of posts should never tell another poster to slap himself.

    Go about your casual fan way, Ese.

    Bro you're so predictable. You're the black Max Kellerman of this forum. You have a hard on for slick black south paws. And that's cool we all have our favorites but at least own up to it. Don't act like you're unbiased.

    He's not that slick, he's a good dogfighter but he's no twinkletoes.
