Comments Thread For: What is the best next fight for David Benavidez?

If Beterbiev KO Bivol, he better not duck.

That will more than likely never happen because Beterbiev would have to hit him enough times in order to do so.

In addition, as we all know Bivol is the hardest boxer in the game to land clean and flush punches against due to his defense.

I second that - the most obvious, meaningful fight to be made and if we are looking at two fights, then Benavidez could fight both of them.

Benny stops Beterbiev and knocks him out in my opinion. His style is perfect for David. He is static, slower, flat-footed over 40 with a very low punch volume.

It is obvious, the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev.

I admire his attitude. Really, I do. But I think he gets soundly beaten by those two elite light heavyweights. They’re not just good champions, they’re supremely talented and I can’t see Benavidez boxing OR slugging against Biev. He’s going to go for the fight, but I think that’s a bridge too far, honestly.

He’s have a better chance to beat Canelo.

WHAT?!

I would bet on an injury prone Biev at 40 over Benny. That man trains like a madman and can probably crack much harder as well.

That might be true but he is slow as Hell though and bad at cutting off the ring.

Personally, I thought he lost to Bivol. He had maybe only one or two good moments against Dmitry in the fight. Three if one wants to be generous and everybody saying he won the fight.

My question is how? For about 80 percent of the fight; I thought Bivol controlled both the range, distance and pacing of the fight while beating Artur to the punch.

His ring generalship was just superb.

He probably won't duck... But I'm sure he'd prefer Bivol who would absolutely embarrass him... Still better than having your life shortened by a few years with brain damage...
