No... it's doesn't matter ... Money rules... If both guys agree, the rematch is next, specially considering Beterbiev's activity in recent years ...

Could possibly ruin Benavidez Career, stay away David, keep pushing for Canelo

[STREET CLEANER]

David has to take care of Morrell first. Then he can take what ever comes his way.

It does not matter. Benevidez has not done anything at 175 lbs to show that he deserves that fight. Maybe after Morrell. Right now, all fans want to see a rematch with Bivol and Turki wants to see a rematch with Bivol. That is the biggest money fight for both of them so that is what happens next.

Not sure why it wouldn't matter. Beterbiev is not Canelo, so Whoricio will follow his rules.

A bullet would be quicker and less painful for DB

It would be a helluva fight. The uncrowned undisputed champion though, is Bivol.

Nah, let’s get that rematch out of the way. Artur ain’t getting any younger nor is bivol. Benavidez can fight the winner, but we need that unification bout ran back to end all the talk.

Benavidez will not fight Beterbiev kn the near future, maybe when Beterbiev has more grey hair.
