If you could make any fight today, it's got to be Benavidez vs Beterbiev!!

This would also be an interesting matchup, but we don't know what Beterbiev's plans are. He's been out of action since February 2025. He was supposed to fight in the Benavidez-Yarde card in November, but the match didn't materialize. I think Beterbiev is aiming for a third fight with Bivol, but at 41, out of action for over a year, and with no fights scheduled at the moment, retirement can't be ruled out. We hope to hear more soon.

 

Great fight indeed. Currently I give Benavidez the edge, He's looked very dangerous in the last couple of fights and I don't know what Beterbiev has left at this point.

 

I don’t think beterbiev can keep up with the pace Benavides fights at, especially now at his age. Bivol vs Benavides is the fight to make, followed by jai opetai.

 

Benavidez v Bivol is more interesting to me. A non-40 year old Beterbiev wouldve been great

 

Would go with Benavidez to take it down the stretch at this point, especially with Beterbiev’s inactivity, but if Beterbiev can catch him with something as Benavidez opens up, I still don’t rule out Beterbiev.

 

Beterbeiv has poor defense and is very hittable. Yarde was connecting on him often. Just imagine what Benavidez will do to him with his speed and accuracy. Will be another highlight fight for the Monster.

 

Bivol v Benavidez is the fight to make that’s the Undisputed fight for the Division,pity Bivol vacated the WBC belt with Benavidez sitting as mandatory .

 

Rather see him fight Jai tbh

 

Jai would derail the Benavidez bandwagon before it even got going

David would look small in there too. He would get over powered

 

No one will give Benavidez any credit whatsoever even if Beterbiev doesn't look shot. Too old.

 

Beterbiev would make Benavidez regret choosing boxing as a profession.

 

Quite possibly

I'd just enjoy the scrap tbh

 

Those flying elbows by Benavidez wouldn't go down well with Opateia who would get just as nasty in return

 

Beterbiev is a great finisher and caught Bivol lots of times

Benavidez doesn't have the same movement or legs and also gets tagged too many times. Standing square Infront of Beterbiev is a suicide strategy IMO.
