Rumor is that PBC will do Benavidez vs Pascal, winner to fight Beterbiev

[EL GANCHO]

So the talks begin with benavidez/beterbiev, if benavidez stays focus and disaplined hell whoop that azz

[Boxxymcboxface]

I think Benavidez beats Pascal by decision and then gets KOed in 5 by Berterbiev

[ThunderFists]

Benavidez shouldnt fight beterbiev. He will never be the same again. Beterbiev will have no problem handling benavidez when he bullied someone like gyzodyk who was much more experienced and skilled.

[MDPopescu]

... Benavidez would dispatch the old man in Pascal... But I guess Beterbiev would come in close and bully David. (but I don't think Beterbiev will actually fight Benavidez)...

[Thuglife Nelo]

I like it, but rumours have sources, man. Care to share?

Realize that Benavidez is ranked #1 by the WBC. Zurdo got bumped down

You're right: WBC now has Benavidez as #1 and Zurdo as #2...

le: funny...)

Aha. Did not know. Thanks for the heads up... looks like David may be full of shet when he's saying he intends to stay at 168 then cos I can't see why the WBC woulda ranked him 175 without his (or Als) request.

So we're talking more strong circumstantial evidence rather than rumour here then?

[Mister Wolf]

Pascal is old and washed up. Even when he was young he couldn't even beat an old way way past prime Bernard Hopkins.

[SouthPawHitman]

Pascal better than ever. He beats the breaks off both them boys.

PBC benefits more with Benavidez at 175 and Pascal there with the WBA Regular and the WBC Silver. Think about how that would be promoted. Makes perfect sense.
