Bivol v Beterbiv are holding the division until their 3rd fight. Benavedez wants to face either of them and especially the winner.
In the meantime, Benavedez v Zurdo Ramirez is a good contest and challenge for him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I heard that post fight and it was definitely all planned out it sounds. I'm not big on jumping up as the same scenario is playing out for Benavidez, not getting the 'big' fight in respected division. When Benavidez came in at 175 there was talk right off about him facing the Bivol-Beterbiev winner. And then they lined up the rematch. Talk and tease again Benavidez would get the winner, and then the trilogy was made. One thing that is pure factual is Turki himself came out directly against Benavidez facing either of them before the trilogy. Almost word for word he just shut it down. Then Bivol has the injury situation and Beterbiev sits in limbo. So, what is Benavidez to do...wait some more? I just get the feeling that for whatever reason, Turki isn't his biggest fan and they don't get along. David just isn't a ring kisser I suppose. The man just wants to fight and beat people up. Turki may "make big fights" but he sure as shit isn't making them for Benavidez. Benavidez v Zurdo on its face is decent. But it feels like a matter of convenience for Oscar to make on Cinco de mayo rather than division defining fight. And that is all on Zurdo doing his utmost to not face Jai. The talk of David going heavyweight is silly talk to me. As a fan I don't want a heavyweight David, I want they man given the opportunity and respect of clearing out a division and unify.

I'm not big on the Usyk talk just don't see the timelines matching up. And frankly respect to Benavidez, but as of today he is a Lt heavyweight. Not a proven cruiser of heavy. But should he do a number of Zurdo, feel confident in saying he'll have no qualms about getting into a ring with Jai. First things first though.
