Tell me who you're with and I'll tell you what you're doing, but that doesn't mean you're good at it. Eddy can sell sand to Arabs. Hes good and they got the mazoola,

That's quite a spectacular headline, but yeah, can't expect Benavidez to drain himself to 160 lbs, basically be a zombie.

You couldn't expect Crawford to go up to 175 lbs either, maybe to 168 lbs, yes, but a tall order, literally, against Benavidez.

I kept the pig.

So you're saying the camel is still out there? Alone?

The irony of this situation is that Turki Alalshikh seems aware that Bene likes to take on naturally smaller foes. Curiously, the offer comes at precisely the time Bene has decided to step up to light heavyweight for a fight with a perceived faded former champion. And all of this after some over indulgence, during training, no less, for the world to see. Lets hope Bene doesn't sleep on Gvozdyk.

I’m not sure if you’re ripping on Benavidez or not. But how could you view someone as “only likes to take on naturally smaller foes” when the man is moving up in weight for his next fight. Trying to understand your comment

There seems to be serious limits to this excitable money laden kid from Saudi , when a guy seems to be struggling to get down to 168 lbs -12st limit , to ask him to shrink down another division 160lb to face a guy who has only ever fought at 147 heaviest. The seems cause for concern!

Exactly Mr Thack! People on this site think that I'm hating on the guy but I see right through this shyte. The Freaky sheki is not a boxing guy. He's a rich kid in the candy store guy. He doesn't know why weight divisions exist and how you have to carefully remove or put on weight safely for certain fights. If this guy was American he would definitely be the guy who started the BUM FIGHTS DVD franchise. Once again Ol Eddie and Dazn are trying to pull a fast one on America with this Saudi boxing bullshyte. That Bud Crawford card ain't gonna sell shyte on PPV and he'll where are the Ryan vs Devin PPV #s?????

I'm telling you guys that are looking at this whole Turkey - Saudi boxing venture through rose colored glasses are gonna be in for a shock real soon. Just because these are fantasy fights he wants to see doesn't mean they are real fights that should be taking place. What if he thinks Wilder vs Monster Inoye at a catchweight of 172? How about Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez vs Terrence Crawford and call the fight "chocolate thunder"? Man that should tickle his fancy. This is no different than some rich Saudi oil guys paying some Instagram-hoe a million dollars to have a 3some with a camel and a pig for their enjoyment. Man get this weird boxing fetish shyte otta here. WAR PBC WAR TOP RANK WAR GOLDEN BOY!!!!!

War Matchroom ! Right? A card every week

I guess that I'll have to bring my own pig in that case.

It definitely was a two-sided comment, given his chase of Canelo and his last opponent. That aside, Bene's next foe is to me, a grand step forward on his ambition to create his own legacy. Should he prevail, he's in the top five at 175. I'd like to see him challenge Beterbiev.

Benividez is now a light heavyweight. He struggled making 168, never mind 160. This is nuts to even suggest.

For a man that is still fighting at 168, struggle or not, he’ll have no problem making it again for a Canelo fight or my other mega fight that requires it.
