    So Bud should go up to 175 now to prove himself? Hell why not skip the bull**** and jump up to fight Usyk? The dude literally went up 2 weight classes and beat the man at 168 and made it look easy why not give the guy his credit.

      But Nel o and bud too similar dimensions, buds mentioned it too.. Bud hasn't proved anything we didn't know already In that you can.move up divisions. It's a case of where your ceiling is..But

      If you didn't know who Nel o and bud were and just watched fight, you'd think you were watching 2 guys same size.
      Benavides does actually look visually bigger.

        Can you name a fighter that started at 135 and moved up to 168 winning titles all the way through? Much less going all the way to 175. Oh by the way he has been undisputed at 140, 147, and now 168. Don't seem like there is a lot left to prove.

          Bud had a lot of things going against him, he was no active enough, his 154 fight he did not look great, is older and went up all those weight classes without taking an interim fight. All indicators that he might not do well in such a fight but proved me wrong. Adding all that muscle and weight did not disrupt his speed, timing or stamina which it usually does.

          Also there was that chance that he had overtrained for the fight but that never materialized.
