    Take the version of Benavidez that fought at cruiserweight and put him against the Braddock that beat Baer, who would win?

    Benavidez shows no respect, backs him up, beats him to the jab and outworks him.

    Decision or stoppage? Benavidez’s gas tank isn’t the best so there’s risks to exploding like he enjoys doing against someone this durable

    Points. Similar to the Plant fight, but Braddock takes less damage and survives relatively well.

    I would go with Benavidez by UD. Braddock lost to lesser fighters who were LHWs.

    Not even close the skills are way too far apart. Benavidez wins every round even if he can't finish him
