Comments Thread For: Turki Wants Usyk vs Benavidez In 2027

Spray_resistant Big Boss Saudi Turki to Fat Dave: igga you too damn fat to return to 175

I'm surprised Turki isn't prioritizing Buff Guy Jai-Fat Dave. Turki holds a majority 60% stake in Zuffa so Buff Guy Jai is technically 'his guy'

Meh. Turki being a fan boy of hype train here.

Usyk is much bigger and much better boxer than Benavidez.

Why not just make Bivol -Benavidez at 175 and Opetaia -Beterbiev at cruiserweight.

good stick & move mops Fat Dave

Cossack Oleksandr-Fat Dave draws the most attention to Riyadh

Turki doesn't want to risk Fat Dave losing to relatively unknown Buff Guy Jai

Top Soviet Bivol is niche market compared to the heavyweight champ of the world

for a 2027 fight to be a good idea Fat Dave would need to remain at cruiser in 2026

take a test fight at heavy in 1H 2027

and then face Cossack Oleksandr in 2H 2027

But Oleksandr has only 2 fights left after May

I much rather see Biblical Moses get his shot. Fat Dave would have a high chance of turning into a cherrypick for Oleksandr

[JakeTheBoxer]

Usyk - Benavidez is a mismatch.

Usyk - Benavidez is a mismatch.

Fat Dave or his team have admitted that Buff Guy Jai for first cruiser opponent would have been too much

knowing this the chances of Cossack Oleksandr have decreased

Maybe Biblical Moses beats Cossack Oleksandr and then Fat Dave option for Big Money at heavy is Biblical Moses

It doesn't seem as laughable since Saturday but yeah Fat Dave would be a heavy underdog.
