    No Rematch Yet. Beterbiev Should Fight At Cruiser And Bivol Fight Morrell/Benavidez Winner

    Beterbiev has said for YEARS that he wants to move up after becoming undisputed at Lightweight. When boxers talk about moving up, that means they're not quite drained but making weight is getting harder and they're close to being more comfortable at a higher weight. I think if they had the rematch again at 175, Beterbiev would have to drain himself and wouldn't look the same as he did last night. Since Beterbiev is 39, He should go ahead and move up and fight for a title at cruiserweight OR a superfight with Usyk. Usyk already said that he would possibly move down to cruiserweight because that's really his natural weight and he has to do alot to bulk up for heavyweight.

    Bivol should fight Benavidez/Morrell winner next. Even though he lost last night his stock didn't go down. Him vs one of them is still a big fight, even moreso if Benavidez/Morrell ends in KO. If Bivol wins, he can move up to cruiserweight to fight Beterbiev.specifically for that fight in a big rematch.

    He should blast Benavidez and then drop all the belts and move up to CW.

    He could probably beat CBS and Ramirez despite the size difference

    Not sure he could beat Optateia but it would be a fun fight to watch

    Beterbiev is on the decline though

      last night was the end of Bet's career prime and the start of Biv's prime

      Bet will make Biv drop his points then disengage amateur boxing approach

      Now Biv shall seek to dominate the rounds rather than do just enough to win

      Biv was naive about how much judges follow the scoring guidelines

      This match will turn Biv into a much better boxer

      Bet has max 4 fights left

      A Bivol win where he sweeps the 2nd half of the rematch would prevent a trilogy

      To overtake Bet's win over him Biv must win wide, KO him, or at the very least knock him down

          If Alvarez sees a decision against Bet

          Alvarez chin rating goes from granite to godly

          Alvarez is stationary to fight Bet's fight

          and Alvarez gases when pressured

          Alvarez gets taxed with punishment

          Surviving it would upgrade the ranking of his chin to godly from granite

            Alvarez will only see the floor and an ambulance if he fights Beterbiev.

              Well I'm sure he can get a 7-5 decision just for surviving.

                Besides an immediate rematch with Beterbiev Bivol wise move would be to Challenge Ginger @168 and then go back for the belts @175 .... Take Ginger out of any equation and establish his Legacy on "The guy who humiliated the P4P king twice in 2 weight classes" ... Beterbiev doesn't care about those things, Bivol obviously does...

                For Artur, Benavidez/Morrel and then CW .... if not retiring ...

                  I think a Mexican would be able to stand & b ang with Bet but survive

                  it isn’t like David nor Zurdo are backfoot fighters

                  even if Morrell beats David and Biv wins the rematch

                  Bet David and Bet Zurdo would both still be very good matches

                    beter v benny/morrell winner is the fight to make

                    bivol fights the loser of the above fight

                    if all still standing then winners fight again

                    no real need to see bivol beter rematch straight away imo with 4 good guys, like a super 4 tourney, no rematch straight away as other good fights to be made
