Former world champion Shawn Porter stated that after a landslide victory over Demetrius Andrade holder of the WBC interim title in the second middle division David Benavidez deserves to be in the top 3 best boxers regardless of weight category.
“Benavidez is just too cool. I'm at the point where I want to see him in big fights. The fight with Andrade turned out great. Benevides interrupted him. After the third round, you could see that the fight was not going according to Andrade's script, and he was standing in the ring and doing what he should do as a fighter. But in the end Benavidez steals the show and could be number three in the pound-for-pound rankings.
Terence Crawford is number one and Naoya Inoue is number two. Benavidez is clearly third. He's probably third only because I have a lot of respect for the other guys, but they can be swapped. I don’t even like the pound-for-pound rankings, so to me they’re all number one,” Porter said.
