With Bivol 's future being unclear and these two fighting on the same card, we are close to this fight being made in 2026.
I go with Beterbiev. Don't think Benavidez has the real power at 175 and he seems exactly the type of the guy Artur loves to fight. Artur loves these guys that just stand there throwing punches. At some point Benavidez's chin fals apart. Benavidez is not a mover and I don't believe he has Bivol' chin.

Thumb up.
Fair points. I was at Gvozdyk/Beterbiev fight, I thought the Nail was fighting brilliant but I ultimately expected the Russian to win because you could feel the difference in power ringside. It was palpable. Every time Artur landed, the sound at ringside was akin to a bat hitting a side of meat.
I still expect Artur winning and the only way I see otherwise is if he ages dramatically in the ring. Artur is BUFF.
Bivol did not want to use his iron chin in fight 1 and did too much backtracking
allowing Artur to gain momentum
End result Artur looked to be in control with Bivol affected by those unclean punches
Beterbiev is too slow for benavidez. i see benavidez overwhelming him and stopping him.David hardest fight so far per himself was Morrell
I would not call that guy speedy
you know what’s strange
David the prime swarmer actually has a way lower volume than Artur the aging stalker
Artur was averaging 57 punches per round against Gvozdyk to David’s 43
Artur once again averaged 57 punches vs Bivol fight 1 to David’s 46 vs Morrell
Artur also 57 in the rematch with Bivol
when you look at the stats Artur is smart and uses his jab way more than David
Gvozdyk and Morrell had most of their success in the last couple of rounds with David
David is a massive weight cutter it nerfs his stamina. He isn’t as good later on as he is in the middle rounds
David superior defense could be his saving grace should he face Artur
it’s a good fight because each is open for the other’s best shot
David was hurt twice and wobbled in one of them by Morrell’s right over the top
Artur has been put on his ass in the past by a left hook from a random euroid

He is proven unreliable on this topic.
Secondly, he says Benavidez does not have the power to make Yarde respect him, which is dumb as hell considering every opponent has respected Davids power. Gvozdyk wasn't running around on the back foot because he didn't respect his power or Morrell. This guy is dumb.
He thinks artur beats David just because he hits harder. That's about as casual as you can get lol. He also says arthur has a better resume than David? Apart from Bivol and Gvozdyk he has fought no other high level champions.
He talks like Artur is a terminator yet he has been knocked down 2 times by bums.
He completely ignored the advantages David has with his speed, and precision combinations, which will be able to piece up artur. All he talks about is power and a brawl. He is clueless.oracle watched the video gg:cool:

Lonnie B been picking against Benavidez his whole career and been wrong. He picked Gvozdyk to beat him also. Total clown lol.
But you must REFUTE his points rather than just chant slurs from the side

.............It's a hard one to pick but I think I'd go Artur on this one....even at his advanced age.
I know it's not a perfect comparison but I thought about Tszyu and Hatton....the one way I see Benavidez winning is if he can hold up to Arthur's power long enough to swarm and wear down the aging Russian with volume and physicality. you know what’s strange

168 Pounder Lonnie B Described Sparring Benavidez: "When he hit me I didn't feel it. He was just trying to overwhelm me but he couldn't. He was heavy when I sparred him."
Lonnie B, SPARRED Benavidez & Beterbiev, COMPARES Power & BREAKS DOWN WHO WINS:cool:
"I've been in the ring with David. I've been in the ring with Artur. David don't punch hard enough to keep or stop Artur from coming. That's just a fact. He just don't punch hard enough. If he had some pop, I'd be like yo. But he ain't got no pop and Artur gon keep coming."
"When David gets hit hard how he going to respond? Because just covering up like he do he ain't going to be able to do that. He gon feel them shots."
