    This would be a great fight IMO. Who takes it?

    Jacobs completely outboxes and embarrasses him.
    Dirrell was giving it to him until the cut.

    Benavidez bounces his head off the canvass three or four times en route to a 5th or 6th round stoppage.

    This.

    Benavidez is all kinds of wrong for the weight bully.

    Benavidez probably stops him, or at the very least wins a clear decision

    Great fight!

    While I think Benavidez is grossly overrated at times (good fighter, to be sure, but I don't see him as an untouchable talent), I think his engine and punch output would be enough for a clear but competitive decision over Jacobs.

    Benavidez is no longer a boy, he's a grown man now
    Think we could be entering a new era, Jacobs would be a great win

    Tbh Chavez looked ok against Jacobs before he quit. Benavidez is even bigger and stronger.

    Think Jacobs will give him some good rounds but will get beaten up eventually.

    Benavidez late rounds stoppage.

    Jacobs won’t be able to fight the way he has been of late as he’s matched in height and length here.

    TKO in 8-10.

    I'd ride with Jacobs for the upset. Hes banged it out with not just world class fighters, but with highly elite p4p champs and has ALWAYS put in a good account of himself. I coukd easily see Benavidez winning too but until he fights someone of the same calibur as Jacobs best opponents, I'm riding shotgun with Jacobs.

    Benavidez paddles the asses of Jacobs, Plant, BJS 2.0, Smith and co at 168.

    BJS 2.0 with his Gypsy Slickess might be able to befuddle him and administer a Gypsy Slicking but I'd favour Benavidez to be too big and strong for him.

    If John ''The Gorilla'' Ryder and Benavidez were the same size (Ryder's a MW coming up and Benavidez a LHW coming down) it would be Fight of the Century.
