I think you are spot, he'll take it to Bivol first and then go after Jai in that order.

Frankly, I expected David's superior skill to win by split but wow, was I shocked at how efficiently he put down a very strong Zurdo Ramirez.

At this point it's hard to pick against him against anyone from 168-200

Need a decoder ring for that one. What are you implying?

He's doing that thing a lot of internet boxing fans do: over interpreting an adrenaline filled post-fight interview. How many times have you seen posters on here saying "he didn't mention xxx guy, he ducking, etc." as if there's some devious plan going on when a boxer is probably suffering a mixture of mild concussion and euphoria?

boxing matches to be made, benavidez vs bivol then if wins, he goes cruiserweight full time to jai. if neither can be made then 175 beterbiev. jai needs to get his name out more I'm sure Dana White will promote him well. 175 has tons of potential and needs to be thinned out buatsi vs morrell needs to be made, bivol beterbiev 3 needs to be made, ben Whittaker needs to start fighting names,I see Iglesias @ SMW moving up soon.

Benavidez is now in a position where I don’t want to see him fight again unless it’s Bivol, Beterbiev, and Jai. Any of those three would erase my lingering doubts. There’s really no one else who would test him. And I want to see him tested.

The problem with this is Dans doesn't promote any of those other guys you mentioned. If I were the IBF WBA WBC I wouldn't sanction any of those fights. Dana White said he wouldn't work with any of the sanctioning bodies and if I were them I would absolutely return the favor!!!!
