Bivol Ducked Benavidez if Bivol doesn't rematch 40 year old Beterbiev.

Bivol Ducked Benavidez if Bivol doesn't rematch 40 year old Beterbiev.

He will though, this is why he dumped it. Turkey wants the 3rd fight and pays very well so that is what you do.

Benavidez can fight buff guy Yarde.

Interesting.

Who is there for Benavidez to fight? A rematch with Morrell, or not necessary. Move up to heavyweight and fight Usyk, or is that crazy talk.

Perhaps light heavyweight is where he's going to stay at, no cruiserweight fights as that division has no glamour.

Finally if only the WBC done this at 168lbs smdh. Tell PBC to dig Jesse Hart and feed him to David.

Since Dimitry Bivol is WHITE they won’t say he ducked Benavidez. He will get a pass

1. First comment on this thread literally says Bivol ducked Benavidez.
2. Bivol won’t get the same response as Canelo because he’d be fighting beterbiev. Unlike Canelo who instead of fighting Benavidez, picked a 40 yr old mw, a C level Brit, a junior welterweight, a c level Mexican and another c level prospect.
3. Canelo is as “white” as they come.

WBC top 15

Champion: Benavidez

1. Artur Beterbiev
2. David Morrell
3. Albert Ramirez
4. Oleksandr Gvozdyk
5. Joshua Buats
6. Conor Wallace
7. Willy Hutchinson
8. Anthony Yarde
9. Imam Khataev
10. Robin Krasniq
11. Richard Rivera
12. Ben Whittaker
13. Zach Parker
14. Ronald Gavril
15. Paulo Aokuso

Callum Smith is not ranked as he is the WBO interim. Benavidez needs to defend his title within 120 days. Usually against a top 10, can get exception for a top 15.

I would like to see Benavidez vs Yarde out of those top 10 names

Wow LHW is such a weak division outside Bivol and Beterbiev.
