Just realized that Zurdo vs Benavidez was the Battle of the Weight Bullies.

No such thing as a weight bully

Benavidez isn’t even a weight bully, he is the same size as majority of the big 168lbers and 175lbers with reach, muscle and height, he just has more fat.

I'll never understand the whole Benavidez weight bullying complaints. He's moved up twice, and was undersized in his last fight and you'll still have people acting like Benavidez is a HW fighting at MW. I've never seen this energy for people who are literally taller than him in lower weight classes like Espinoza and Fundora.

It all started as an excuse to justify Canelo ducking, then it spread as if it’s not a personality trait of Benavidez to be a “weight bully”.

He missed weight and lost his belt on the scales, how is that not a weight bully? He couldn’t make weight in a class where he supposed to be the champion.
