Benavidez wins all aging horribly, is this a sign ?

    I knew he would destroy Zurdo but that's because styles make fights. Benavidez hasn't had a single world class wins besides Zurdo (who Bivol played with) and a mediocre plant. Andrade could have been decent but he retired...

    Benavidez might be in the danger zone of overrated the way his competition is dropping like flies.

    Yes it is a sign. David is a soul taker and nobody is ever the same after fighting him. They all either retire or look a shadow of themselves.

    If I were u I'd want Benavidez to move back down as soon as possible, his best bet is to feast on the smaller veterans like Bivol and Beterbiev. He can't beat Opetaia and Viddal Riley is a stylistic nightmare.

    Beterbiev may have aged out now but I still think Bivol is all wrong for him.

    They moved Morrell too fast I don't think he should even be at 175.

    Would like to see Riley fight for a world title by the end of the year. Would catapult him onto the world stage should he win and as you've alluded to a fight with Benavidez would be very interesting indeed

    He'll stop Dubois at one point. I'm just going with this **** from the other thread and will probably be wrong. I don't care.
