Would Isaac Chilemba be a good step up fight for Beterbiev?

you get better by fighting the best, beterbievs been around the block a long time in boxing, good fighers should be moved quicker than they are. If they lose, so what. Loma lost his 2nd fight, probably learnt more from that than beating up 20 bums would have done. Usyk didn't need much building up. Don't know why its seen, especially in America, that fighters should have 30 or so risk free fights to build up an undefeated record before they get a tough one. Just fight ffs, if you lose its not the end of the world, regroup, learn and come back again. I agree with you in general but i wouldn't throw Artur in with Chilemba right now either. Isaac is a very bad stylistic matchup for him and i would put him in with a lower level similar stylistic matchup first unfortunately LHW doesn't have alot of boxers like him. Maybe Valera or Prieto first but i do think Chilemba would have a shot at outboxing him at this point in his career.

Yea that'd be a good fight

decent fight, although don't know why people are saying chilemba will beat him. Hes an awkward fighter who doesn't do enough to win fights, even bellew beat him. should fight chilemba and ward next to get some experience then fight kovalev. No disrespect but it's a good thing you don't manage any fighters and if you do, I feel bad for them. So, you want to Beterbiev to fight Ward this early in his career? Just to gain some experience for Kovalev?

Chilemba is fighting Gvozdyk though

He's needs to fight I can't see him destroying Chilemba he fight struggle in that fight. For me Beterbiev can get outboxed.

Thats a good fight for him. He needs to step up.

Chilemba might be too much too soon for Beterbiev Chilemba most likely takes Beterbiev into deep waters and win by decision, if Beterbiev is really something else he will make a statement and be the first to stop Chilemba.

A little too good of a step up.. He might even UD win Betterbe

Why doesn't he just fight Joe Smith Jr.? Eleider Alvarez vs Adonis Stevenson Joe Smith Jr. vs Artur Beterbiev ^^ All on the same night in Canada on Spike tv

Beterbiev beat Kovalev in the amateurs and possibly could do it in the pros. He just needs more fights and he could be the next big thing at that division. Still Ward would decision him, but may be a good super fight in 3-4 years.
