Who would you rather see Bivol fight next: Zurdo or Buatsi?

I know its not an option but I'd rather see Zurdo vs Buatsi.

Voted Zurdo though he's more proven, bigger, stronger and I feel more a threat/challenge to Bivol

If I made other options available I'm sure the #1 choice would be Bivol vs Beterbiev.

But Bob Arum has made it clear that fight is not happening.

Zurdo, so Bivol can finally shut him up. But who knows how much longer he'll even make 175. When you rehydrate as much as he does, that's a lot of stress on your body to lose the weight and then immediately put it back on overnight and then continuing to do it for however many fights.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bivol vs Zurdo...just to get it out of the way. There IS a certain question mark about Zurdo. The winner of that fight will only look that much better for it.

Forget either. I’d rather see Benavides step up like Canelo and whip the man who whipped the man. He’s had a hard time making 168 anyways. Why not?

I voted Zurdo but there are a few things that I'd add as caveats:
1) Buatsi is an easier fight to make since he's with Matchroom. Zurdo is GBP.
2) Buatsi probably generates more revenue than a Zurdo matchup.
3) While I think Zurdo makes for a more interesting fight, what exactly has he done at LHW? Wins against shopworn Barrera and Gonzalez? Is that all that much better than Buatsi's wins against Richards and Bolotnik?

Crazy to think he ever made 160

1) Zurdo and Bivol are both on DAZN. If you can't make a fight with two guys who are on the same platform then boxing is screwed.
2) Zurdo would attract the Mexican fanbase who is looking for some payback after Bivol beat Canelo. That makes for a hot fight that should generate more revenue than the relatively unknown Buatsi would.

Zurdo, but it will be Buatsi.
