    Ive been wanting to ask these questions for a few years now
    Who do you think will end up with the better career and if they all met at 175 right now who beats who and why ?

    Benavidez spanks both of those overrated guys imo. Too big and too fast, skilled for them.

    Basically Bivol boxes beautifully to beat both Beterbiev and Benavidez.

    Beterbiev and Bivol beat Benavidez. At this stage, I'd take Bivol over Beterbiev, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Beterbiev grinded it out. Bivol should end up with the best career. I'm not sold on Benavidez having great success at 175 against top guys who are closer to cruiserweights than the super middleweights he's been fighting.

    Two years ago Artur KO's both of them. Now Bivol UD's them with Beterbiev having a 30% chance at a kayo. Benavidez is way too flat footed for Bivol who doesn't get tired. Benavidez letting Plant win 5 rounds before taking over then failing to stop him tells you everything you need to know about how he'll fare against Bivol.

    Bivol sits in the pocket far more than Plant who ran around a 22 foot ring most of the fight. Not comparable. Benavidez has sparred Bivol a lot and the word from multiple sources he dominated him.

    When I think of a fighter who sits in the pocket I do not think of Dmitry Bivol. The difference in footwork will be very apparent. I'm sure Benavidez is undefeated in sparring and that's great for him.

    Benavidez and Beterbiev would be a war. I think David drops him multiple times but Artur potentially still has it in him to stop Benavidez late
    although given the success Yarde had against him maybe this is one fight too late into a long career for Beterbiev

    A few years ago, Beterbiev would knock both out. He's just too big and powerful for Bivol. There's nearly a weight class between them as Bivol is a small 175 and Beterbiev is a big 175. Would still favour Beterbiev right now, but he is slowing down a bit in my eyes and by the time it actually happens I may pick Bivol.

    Benavidez? I rate him too but he hasn't proved his abilities at top level e.g. vs Canelo, so right now he has to be rated lower than the other two. I do think he's going to do some good things including beating Andrade.

    I just mean he sits there more than Plant and will be to be hit more plus he is very open to the body with his high guard which is where Benavidez would break him down and then that movement will go away.

    Beterbiev stops both of them, Bivols game plan is to try and age Beterbiev out for as long as he can whilst he has Hearn throwing as many mandatory’s at Beterbiev as possible. As it’s a waiting game for Bivol to give Beterbiev an Undisputed fight so will it be for Benavidez who simply waits both of them out till he feels the time is right.
