Timothy Bradley rated the boxing IQ of David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol, taking into account who has the higher ring intelligence ahead of their potential showdown.

Both sides have held preliminary talks about a possible meeting later this year in which they will fight for the undisputed lithe heavyweight crown.

Additionally, Benavidez proposed that they meet at the 190-pound catchweight, which would allow him to defend his WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles.

The 29-year-old won these belts last Saturday, dethroning Gilberto Ramirez after the sixth round and in turn became a three-division world champion in his first appearance at 200 pounds.

Bivol also boasts a victory over Ramirez, which came after an equally dominant points victory over Canelo Alvarez later that year in 2022.

The Russian has since won all four major 175-pound belts, defeating Artur Beterbiev by majority decision in February 2025 before opting to undergo back surgery and seizing the WBC title, allowing Benavidez to move from “interim” to full champion.

After recovering from surgery, the 35-year-old will defend his title against Michael Eifert on May 30.

But regardless of his next appearance, Hall of Famer Bradley went on to say his YouTube channel that he expects Bivol to cause earnest problems for Benavidez.

“Bivol has the perfect style to beat him. I like David Benavidez – I can’t wait for him to fight again – but [fighting] Bivol is a recipe for disaster.

“[Benavidez has] he also has a high boxing IQ. But he is stubborn. Bivol is not stubborn. Bivol is one of those guys who will do the complete opposite [to] what do you think he will do.

“He’ll have a plan A and a plan B. When he fought Ramirez, he came at Ramirez. We thought he was going to box because Ramirez was so damn substantial.

“You probably won’t think Bivol will go to Benavidez – you’ll be surprised.”

Bradley, like Bivol’s boxing mind, emphasizes that his foot speed is a significant factor in a potential clash with Benavidez, who is more known for his hand speed.
