    Looks like Benavidez also wants a crack at Gevor (no homo)

    It is kind of lame to think that there exists a small possibility that Benavidez wins this belt, and potentially fights someone like Viddal Riley for the undisputed title. :dunno

    Just make the damn fight already. It's been well over a year since he last fought.

    Again, a "warmup" that will be a headliner for major money. Honestly they should drop Fury from the ring ratings, in fact the ratings and how fighters move through them should be completely revamped

    I can’t see how he’s going to another fight at cruiser and still talk about going back down to light heavyweight don’t seem plausible.

    Against a guy who played the biggest sissy sport on Earth. Your average soccer player would get trashed by your average drunk from a bowling league.

    To be fair Ibra does have a tough guy image based on something.
    He does have a karate black belt and never backed down from a challenge.
    Kicked Mido's ass in the Ajax locker room as they both were youngsters,challenged van Bommel on the pitch,beat Van der Vaart,kicked Materazzi in the chest sent him to the hospital,etc
    What I'm saying is he has some receipts unlike other footballers.

    David The Nigerian Nyika one win away from fighting for a world title. He used to serve in the French ministry. He's now a man of deep faith and a devout Christian.

    I believe that the winner of the David Nyika / Floyd Masson IBF eliminator on August 8 will get a crack at Viddal Riley.
    Regardless, could see Benavidez beating any of these guys.

    Benavidez would murder them. It would be homicide.

    Riley has amateur pedigree and is a natural cruiserweight. We also haven't seen his full arsenal of skills yet considering he seems to be dispatching his opponents with relative ease. I wouldn't be writing him off quite so quickly and I suspect Benavidez would find him a very difficult opponent.

    Benavidez is a different beast. He's a killer. A cold blooded killer. He'll win with ease.
