Who Dares to Challenge “El Monstro” Next?

Photo credit: Premier Boxing Champions Facebook David Benavidez just made history as the first fighter to win world titles at 168, 175, and 200 pounds. After stopping Zurdo Ramirez in six brutal rounds, the question echoes across the sport: who dares to step in with El Monstro next? Canelo Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) remains the obvious blockbuster. Benavidez called him out immediately, and the fans inside the arena roared their approval. Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) offers a technical puzzle. His masterclass against Canelo and high-ring IQ could test Benavidez’s relentless pressure like never before. Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) remains one of the sport's most feared punchers. Despite a recent loss, his power is a threat to anyone at light heavyweight. Benavidez vs. Beterbiev would be a collision of unstoppable forces. And then there’s the wild card: Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs). The undefeated heavyweight king once ruled cruiserweight. Could he return to 200 pounds for a legacy-defining clash? It might be too much to ask, but in boxing, the impossible sells. One thing is certain: El Monstro is cleaning out divisions, and the biggest names can’t hide forever. Let us know in the comments who you think has the skills to finally test him.
