Smash how do you see the cruiserweight and 175 timelines playing out should Fat Gilbert upset his cousin Fat Dave?

hhhhmmmm

going up to cruiser is no joke from 175 and zurdo is a good guy, not top quality but good, im thinking benny will find a way to win and the odds of -300 for him suggest people also see it that way but the next logical step would be a jai unification but benny it seems has poured cold water on that if he beats zurdo saying he is going back to 175 to clean up there so looks like he just wants a big mexi clash at cruiser and then take on bivol most likely for all the marbles at 175 after that

Benavidez will hit a point moving up makes no more sense. I think he bailed on LHW before he should have, as there was some good money fights on the table. CW does give him some options, I just wonder if it is a bridge too far.

Fat Dave was already looking flabby in his most recent showing at 175 against Buff Guy Yarde

possibly ate his way out of the weight

on the other hand Fat Gilbert is a GigaSANCHO

[SouthpawRight]

Fat Gilbert v Fat Dave will be lit like Cuban David v Fat Dave

but Fat Gilbert is a vastly superior infighter to Cuban David

maybe we'll get a rematch

I see Fat Gilbert electing to box more than usual

Fat Dave will have to up his volume at cruiser where his power decreases. Can his gas tank support a higher work rate

if davey boy upsets benny and does it clearly that could affect the hype for a bivol fight & the move back to 175 might be painful & it could affect bennys career if not careful but i dont see that happening i dont think, benny seems to know what hes doing but we shall see, its a bit risky going to cruiser and back again

[Smash]

a while back canelo thought he would smack around some guy at 175 (bivol) and do some damage at 175 but it didnt turn out so good, i wounder could canelos daddy benny run into some issues like that with his cruiser stunt

being upset by Fat Gilbert the guy who Top Soviet beat 9-3 easily would dampen the demand for Top Soviet Bivol v Fat Dave

Top Soviet might just leap up to cruiser and rematch Fat Gilbert directly
