    It would be interesting to see such kind of fighter in big guys divisions, like from light heavy to a heavyweight.

    I still find 147 as small guys game. I like bigger divisions more. It would be interesting to see suck skilled black fighter there.

          Benavidez is American, I don't know why you specify race.

            Boxing is worldwide now and fighters aren't marginalized like in the past in favor of a few homegrown US talents. It turns out US dominance was never the default, the game was just manipulated that way.

                Interesting.
                So, when exactly did Boxing become a worldwide sport?

                  More good jobs than people in the good ol' USA.

                  That's why.

                    Because the highly athletic guys that could trim down to 175+ are playing other sports
