    we will have to wait for the result of the next fight, no point in even speculating what this guy or that guy may or may not be interested in this time next year

      I wonder if Beneviedez will drop back down to fight Canelo after Crawford. Assuming Canelo wins in September. They could both meet in May for undisputed.

        He must go to Turki for that. I doubt.

        I believe Canelo fights Eubank jr. in may 2026.

          Saul David would be at 175 or a catchweight

          Months before facing Gvozdyk David admitted to walking around at 225 when he fought at 168

          that was a 57 pound weight cut. It'd be a bigger cut now

          That could be considered a duck if David does Saul rather than Bivol or Artur

            saul david will not happen at any weight or unless benny hits a major major roadblock

            if he was walking around at 225 thats only down to being a fattie like hatton was

            benny was 189 in the ring v gvozdyk and thats coming from 175

              David was the obese kid growing up. I think he likes food more than most fighters

              Artur always appears 195

              Bivol is 185

              David is 189

              Saul 183

                Canelo - Benavidez is never happening. It would have been a nice fight but I'm over it now.

                  not bad estimations there

                  pity we dont have complete cold hard facts thats something badly missing in a sport based on weight & noone has any real clue what the people weigh in the ring having given the sport a system that whoever sheds the most water can be heavier in the ring, go figure that

                    The reason is that it's not actually relevant to the rules, unless it's a singular IBF title fight outside heavyweight or contractually enforced (e.g. Benn - Eubank).

                      Floyd-manny was postponed for much longer
