Benavidez should stay at 168

[War Room]

I don't think he can handle the climate at lhw. Even though he's a bigger guy, 168 is his class.

[TheIronMike]

Yes, but I would be more worried about his inability to cut the ring off.

[BigZ44]

Disagree. Think his power will carry up to 175, think he might be more fresh not having to cut the weight and 175 has more guys that will stand and trade, which better suits his style. Obviously Beterbiev and Bivol are really difficult fights, but I think he's better than everyone else there and Beterbiev is getting old. If he can't get the Canelo fight, there is no reason to stay at 168, there's nobody else for him to fight there

he has slow feet. has nothing to do with skills.


GGG had quick feet in his prime. noticeable difference on how he dealt with movers

Bivol and Beterbiev will beat him but Benavidez can do well at 175. There is very little depth in that division. Joe Smith Jr and Yarde/Buatsi etc are easy work for him.

[HeadShots]

tbh Benavidez has a good shot at Beterbiev. That would be an amazing fight.

Beterbiev would stand and trade with Benavidez. Youth and volume has a very good shot.

Beterbiev would stand and trade with Benavidez. Youth and volume has a very good shot.

Beterbiev would stop him in the later rounds. Too big, too strong, and is actually much more skilled.

When pillow fisted blown up middleweight Plant started landed, Benavidez didn`t like it. Old Artur puts him in coma.

what power, he hit plant at will for 6 rounds straight and couldnt even drop him. You think it will "carry" to 175 when he doesnt have any in the first place? look at his record, hes fought all bums, theres a reason he went the distance when he fought the first former champ in a long time.

cement shoes gets lit up by Bivol and sparked out by beterbiev. Even if beterbiev was 40 he still sparks out this bum.

not with the volume Beterbiev will see coming back to head and body. Benavidez goes off in combos up close. this isn't another bodybuilder euro scrub YArde.



Benavidez will stay the course and wear Beterbiev down at the ripe old age of 39-40. He has a better than 50/50 shot against Artur.
