    Benavidez could hit the weights and put on 20lbs of muscle, or just eat burgers and do a Ruiz.

    Anyway how does Opetaia do against Wilder is more the story....seems like a dumb fight for Opetaia except for building his profile on a big card.

    Wilder seems completely spent, but I guess he has a puncher chance, especially considering Opeteia is no defensive genius

    I think Opetaia wins tbh. Wilder's old, has lost confidence plus the snap in the one serious weapon he had. He's basically a wombat now.

    If wilder landed a lucky shot and won would it be the 2nd best opponent he ever beat?

    He might, in the Max Kellerman sense of "Smoke Gainer Was Outboxing Corrales For A Round" kind of way.
