Comments Thread For: Who will David Benavidez fight next?

[SUBZER0ED]

Beterbiev is an old elite fighter. he would be benavidez`s best win bar far. I don˙t believe Danny beats Beterbiev.

Beterbiev has superior Ring IQ; great skills and movement. His power is there. he is 1-1 with Bivol because Bivol is elite fighter himself.

Age is catching up to Artur. He knows that he only has so many fights left. Job #1 for him should be to face 35-year-old Bivol for the tiebreaker third time. If he wins, then he can either retire as the unified champ or dare to face Benavidez for the undisputed title. However, I think that facing 29-year-old Benavidez first will take too much out of him to face Bivol afterwards.

I honestly think the fight was more a 9-3 Benavidez than a 7-5 like you saw it. 10-2 is as bad as 7-5 but in no type of way is this compareable to a draw in Myweather vs Canelo. But like i said judges are bad and or corrupt everywhere. Would you trust a fair verdict if the fight takes place in Russia? I'm open for the experiment to be honest but i guess Benavidez dont fancy that idea.

definitely don't see the fight happening in Russia

Top Soviet Bivol only fights randoms in Russia

Buff Guy Artur hasn't fought in Russia once

I do not believe Russia cares enough about boxing to fund big fights

Agree with Smith he is stylewise one of the easiest opponents he will get beat up so bad that is another mid to late round stoppage for sure. Morrell would be more interesting but let that men learn a bit more and make his own lane. Talking about Morrell i saw an interview of him after the fight cancellation and he looked heavier than ever before i hope he can make weight this weekend sometimes when a fights is cancelled fighters blow up completely out of control in a few days/weeks.

Morrell = Fat Cuban Dave, now.

Was a satisfactory explanation ever given for him not taking the Nicholson fight? What's he waiting for?

Maybe, just maybe he can't care less about him... What do you think about Bivol taking on Eifert after rejecting a full payday in Russia for Beterbiev 3.0 ? ... or Benavidez ducking Beterbiev not once but twice (2020, 2025) and going the easy route vs Zurdo ? Time is ticking for Artur... No time for sub-par opposition unlike Bivol... So be it... Benny and Bivol running away just makes his stock rise even more ...

It surely made sense to stay sharp at his age. I always viewed it as a marking time fight.
