Comments Thread For: Manager Hoping to Find Replacement Opponent for Dmitry Bivol on June 1

From Ring's LHW top 10, there's WBA mando Buatsi, vets Yarde, Gvozdyk, and the new blood, Ramirez, Izmailov and Zinad. Not much else.

And then maybe the 168 guys like Benavidez or Morrell if they want to try their hand at 175.

Great idea, but why wouldn`t Benavidez step up? His fans already claim he stops Bivol, so...Lets see it.

Benavidez has his fight scheduled for only 14 days later, so just cancel it and man up.

There it is, here is your chance Benny unified champion if you win then Undisputed title fight when Beterbiev heals up.

How about treating the fans from Saudi money and if Canelo can do to mungai what AJ did to ngounno , pay him well and get him in , but if Canelo does as well as fury vs ngounno give him a a few years break lol

No way the Benavidez vs Gvozdyk fight gets cancelled for Bivol vs Benavidez. It's a guaranteed loss for David and it will effectively torch the last remaining ember of hope he has at facing Canelo. And I think he knows it.

With Canelo losing to Bivol at 175 (Nelo now knowing his weight limit is 168) and Benny indicating he's moving up to 175, that fight is now most likely dead.

Lol I thought the same, but it doesn’t allow for a proper micro-dosing program for Canelo.

People have to realize Benavidez isn’t realistic, because he’s scheduled for a pbc pay per view, and he’d he sued if he cancelled the fight and went under a different banner.

Morrell Jr would be great.

I think Buatsi is the most likely bet. He has a name, he needs a dance partner, and there’d be no resistance from the Bivol camp because it’d be very winnable.

Yeah I don't see buatsi taking it on 3 weeks notice don't think the people at boxxer are gonna wanna throw one of there top fighters over there when it's not even being broadcasted on there television.

Benevidez needs every day he get to make weight. Also, I doubt his team would take that big of a risk on short notice.

Yarde should get the call. Common opponent. Dunno if Bivol hits hard enough to keep Yarde at bay. He certainly ain't no Beterbiev

Why yarde? Third time is the charm?
