Beterbiev has fought at "heavyweight" as an amatuer, him moving up wouldn't at all be surprising should he win.

But should Bivol win it would surprising to see him move up he's small at LHW.

And making the biggest leap in boxing whilst being small requires some testicular fortitude.

How about getting him to move down 25lbs, ....ridiculous !

25 lbs is a lot. They'd probably have a better chance of making it at a catchweight.

Can Turki pay Canelo enough to Fight Benavidez?

Can Turki pay enough Tank "WahiDucking" Davis to fight Skaur, Teo, or Haney?

Bivol is not a big light heavy, a jump to cruiser without a period of adjustment and at least 2-3 fights would probably prove to not be a particularly wise move.

Even Beterbiev,who would possibly adjust to the weight quicker, would need at least a fight or two before facing someone of Opetaia's quality.
