    While it would be interesting to see Benavidez fight at a weight more suited to him, I don't think he has the fortitude to deal with Beterbiev's constant pressure and power. I'll take Beterbiev by mid-fight knockout.

    Beterbiev is tough but people seem to forget he just went life and death with Yarde. Benavidez is bigger, faster and can also punch so would not surprise me if he just pieced him up and everyone said Beterbiev aged overnight. Benavidez is still being greatly underestimated for some reason.

    benevidez by decision.
    benevidez is as focused as a guy can be. he wants the big fights. mentally he is "in the zone"

    This is one of those things where if Fighter A was naturally the same size as Fighter B, he would win. But I agree

    Benavidez Bivol would be a great fight. But I don't think it's gonna happen beacuse Bivol only wants to fight at 168 if it's for Undisputed and Benavidez doesn't want to move up to 175 until he gets his shot.

    Beterbiev would KO him.
