Just cancel Benavidez - Gvozdyk and make Bivol -Benavidez.

I’m sure for Saudi oil money and a main event, they’ll be willing to step Buatsi up one fight sooner than expected.

Morrell jr.

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.

I'm hoping Benavidez takes this fight.

Albert Ramirez is scheduled to fight on May 25th in Canada. He is top 10 according to Ring magazine. Why not? At this point there are not a lot of options.

[Murray Kelm]

I doubt they will gamble on Morel, my guess is that Butsai gets the call.

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.

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.
