Why do fans think David Benavidez is meant for the cruiserweight division?

Marco Antonio Barrera is a retired Mexican boxing legend. He has secured several world titles across three different weight categories, ranging from super bantamweight to super featherweight. Barrera gained fame for his series of fights with another Mexican boxing icon Erik Morales, as well as his two-fight saga with Manny Pacquiao and his rivalries with Naseem Hamed and Juan Manuel Márquez. In the picture posted by a fan, we see David posing with Marco. The captivating element is how humungous David Benavidez appears in front of Marco. This, in turn, led to diverse fan reactions. Starting the opinion spree, a fan expressed surprise at how large David Benavidez is for his weight class. The fan implied that he has a significant size advantage in the super middleweight division.

Another fan humorously noted that Benavidez appeared older than Marco Antonio Barrera.

Furthermore, a third fan was pleased with his company and humorously asked Benavidez to run around the lake again.

Moreover, a follower suggested that Benavidez is too big for his current weight class. According to the fan, he might be better suited for the cruiserweight division.

A user then observed that Benavidez has the physical capability to fight in higher weight classes, but he chooses to compete at 168 pounds, draining himself to make weight, which contributes to his fearsome reputation as “The Mexican Monster.”
