David has the right to not drain himself to death lol

I think Benavidez found it easier to break opponents down at 168lbs, it doesn't look like the power has followed up with him so he's finding it harder to break these guys down. I saw a recent video on Youtube where he was doing the kettle ball forearm exercises that Golovkin used to do so perhaps he's been working on his power for the Yarde fight.

David might ultimately have the most success at cruiser

yes they're bigger but slower with less skills than 175

fast 4-5 punch combos trouble David

these cruisers slow

He'd beat the hell out of Badou Jack who also fought at 168lbs and 175lbs, both are similar size. Zurdo fight would be more competitive. It's best Benavidez stays way from Opetaia though because neither man would take a backward step and he'd probably end up getting knocked out.
