    Benavidez isn't a natural Cruiserweight. He just has an eating disorder.

    I'd rather see DB vs Bivol. That's not saying the Usyk fight is trash.

    Benevidez can't beat Bivol or Opetaia. Usyk would delete him inside two rounds. Weight classes exist for a reason. Benny is barely over six foot tall and he's fat and dumpy at 200 pounds. I doubt he could beat anyone in the Top 10 of the HW division.

    He could beat both. And beating the number 2 cruiserweight suggests he's better than some top 10 heavyweights

    I want to see:
    Beterbiev vs Benavidez
    Crawford vs Bivol (at 168)
    Itauma vs Dubois

    Stop it. Beating Zurdo means nothing. Zurdo is fat, slow, not a concussive puncher, and he stood right in front of Benny and let him tee off. Benny gets his head taken off by most guys in the HW division.

    Can you imagine Bakole swinging punches at him? How about Daniel Dubois charging him? Itauma does him in a round. Fat Andy beats the hell out of him. Big Obese Baby Miller would come forward and smash him.

    I'd pick Dave Allen over Benevidez. No joke.

    You like embarassing yourself for some reason. Allen over Benavidez? lol.

    Newsflash. Most HW's are fat and slow and stand right in front of their opponents.

    Nonsense Allen and Ruiz get beaten easily.
    Dubois was nearly kayoed by Lerena a small former cruiserweight.

    Since when is beating the number 2 cruiserweight meaningless? By that logic Usyks wins over Gassiev and Breidis mean nothing

    And most HWs are much bigger and hit much harder than anyone Benevidez has been in the ring with.

    David is flabby at 200 pounds. He's flat footed. He's comically small for HW. His technique is not great. His defense isn't top tier, either.

    Dave Allen puts his head down and just swings and gets Benny out of there. Nothing Benevidez threw at him would bother him whatsoever. And it ain't like he'd be fast enough to dance circles around Dave and point him.

    Unsurprising it's you and cojimar pushing this idiocy. It'll never happen because Benevidez isn't dumb enough to ever move up to HW, but if he does I'll pick literally anyone in the Top 15 over him. You wanna put a bet down with me you just let me know.
