Turki wants Oleksandr Usyk vs David Benavidez for 2027

C'mon this is getting ridiculous and going too far. Let David fight Opetaia, Bivol or Beterbiev. Usyk has other better fights at HW to be made after Rico that Turki should be focusing on.

The lengths Turki and the bunch will go to avoid Billy 2 Puncher.

 

Turki is like a kid that goes after one shinny object after another cause he has the money. Instead of making an Opetai fight he went as extreme as he can. Lets go straight to the best heavyweight.

 

A shame if Usyk's last years will turn into a carneval. On the other hand Kabayel needs to try and get a top contender in there with him and make it abundantly clear that he's the nr one challenger. To take almost a year to follow up on the Zhang win and then do it against Knyba is just not a very strong message.

 

May as well get bridgerweight involved too!

 

I'm kind of shocked he's not trying to make Inoue vs Usyk

 

Do you think there will be another day this year like Saturday? Two world class cards in one day?

 

This is madness.

Usyk-Opetaia makes more sense than this. At least Jai has legit heavyweight power and he is also a southpaw which makes it an interesting fight.

 

That would be an awesome spectacle though. I would watch it

 

The only need to expand the scoring zone anywhere below the crotch would be fair game.

 

Even at CW, Usyk would dominate Benavidez. The footwork difference is too significant for Benavidez to consistently have success. Let alone at HW.

Unless, Benavidez actually beats a contender at HW - this is a stupid fight.

 

Why is everyone hyping up a bum who'd get battered by a prime Bivol or beterbiev? And putting him into fantasy matches with much bigger men who'd chin him?

Because he's a chunky chap who can beat Jimbo Jones at higher weights because the competition in boxing right now is non existant?
