    I just read an article that if Beterbiev gets past Smith in August Bob Arum is looking for a match against D. Benavidez at 175lbs.
    If this goes down who takes it?

    Beterbiev has an easier time knocking Benavidez's cranium into the next year than he will with Callum Smith.

    Arthur would put a lump on the back of Benavidez head like an old cartoon character.

    So your saying Benavidez would win by a rabbit punch DQ by "The Rabbit"?

    Because blatantly stating it out in the open for all to see.... should ****ing suffice. But fine, I voted in your stupid ****ing poll.

    Being that Beterbiev is 38 years old he could start showing his age at any time but if that doesn't happen he will make the undisciplined Benavidez his 21st KO victim. (Assuming he does the same to Callum Smith) Even if Artur does start showing his age he has a reasonably good chance of winning.

    I sense a little doubt in your tone. You can change your vote if you would like.

    I think you'd see who the real monster is in that matchup if it happens.

    We always hear about the 'Mexican warriors' and so forth but they never seem to have any power. Let's remember Canelo only developed his after years of PEDs. Sure, they can be tough, but that's not enough with someone like Beterbiev. I think you need one-punch power to take him out.

    As one of the more vocal the Beterbiev haters on here, no.... I said what I said with the utmost confidence.

    Everyone is going to go on about the power but I would just like to point out beterbiev also has better footwork and boxing ability.

    Beterbiev was called "White puncher" all his early career

    Artur just went life and death with Yarde, and people acting like he's unbeatable. David would be too big and fast for him, I think he stops him unless he gets rabbit punched like most of Arturs victims are.
