    Good call, not sure why this fight never crossed my mind.

    About 50/50.

    That would be a good fight! David is big for 168, but Zurdo is big for 175. If Zurdo’s chin holds up, I think he would take it, too big and too handsome.

    I always thought about that fight when they were both at 168, I think I favor Benevidez 60-40.

    To beat Zurdo you need to be quick on your feet not necessarily on your hands. Zurdo has that crazy timing.

    I want to favor Videz because he has more dog in him, but honestly don't know.

    Was thinking of this fight last week and wonder why it's not on the radar more than it is. Seems like an obvious fight to make.

    That would be a great entry fight for Benavidez at LHW.

    Zurdo's a big strong guy, southpaw, record a bit a padded and dodgy.

    UD David

    Benavidez looks more talented, but it would be a good war. Zurdo is about 200lbs in the ring.

    I'm going with Benavidez in this one, he has better speed and more power, Zurdo is nothing special...

    Benavidez definitely. Zurdo IMO, in his future has another loss coming up. I think David will look great until he goes against a truly elite guy (Beterbiev "and the clocks ticking", and Bivol).

    Zurdo would have to cut of a leg to make 175.
