If you were a SMW that would be undersized at 175, who is more beatable for you: Benavides or Beterbiev?
I'd have said Benavidez this time last week, but that cut on AB'a head looked absolutely career ending. He will be in the same situation as Vitali was against Lewis. But in EVERY FIGHT he has.
Benavidez was 750lbs as a teenager. He's naturally big. Why he is staying at 168lbs starving himself to make weight is beyond me. Canelo is done at 168lbs now. He wanted the belts, got them all, will hold them hostage and then dump before he is force to take on a mandatory challenger
Benavidez he’s young and untested and undisciplined, meanwhile Beterbiev is a unified champ in a bigger division with a decorated background.
Both are beatable. Both are too aggressive for their own good, but Benevidez has yet to hit the canvas and has not even reached his prime yet. Beterbiev is on the downside at nearly 37 while Benevidez is on the Upside. Id think Beterbiev tastes defeat before Benevidez does. Edit:Benevidez was knocked down by Gavril
Benavidez You could argue he already lost a fight against Gavril. I recall having that fight for Gavril by one round but he lost a split decision. He is big and strong at his weight class but is very beatable. Beterbiev has fought at the elite level now for a number of fights and has knocked out everyone. That is levels above Benavidez.
No surgery, Plain & simple . . .The boxing lifestyle. as for who is more beatable I’d say it’s as 59/50 as a coin flip
