Andre Kuleska owns PhD in physical éducation has more than 27 years experiences in sport fitness.
On TVA Sport he said Beterbiev cracked his training : "I gave him exercises that was alot harder than a boxing fight and I had to change them because his pulse was not raising enough he's in a phenomenal form right now."
His trainer ramsay said He could have easily did 12 rounds of sparring with 3 different partner and that his pulse was dropping really low after the 1 mins break between rounds

EDIT : actualy he owns 2 PhD
1) Ph.D, Sport Science
2) Ph.D, Sport Science, Strength conditioning, Muscular power development
Beterbiev should gain all those qualities, increased durability, the advantage of being a small target, and his power should carry up. RJJ, Vlasov, Miranda, Bellew, these are 4 fighters that have shown something at the weight that makes me believe a significantly better Beterbiev could as well.
Who knows? It's possible! However, he still has unfinished business at 175 pounds to finish off first.
You made lots of points there. Most of which I agree with. However, I have no idea what the implications of your points are.

Cruiserweights are big and may hit hard, but the accuracy of their punches, and overall skill leaves much to be desired.
There is a reason why guys like Bellew and Vlasov have cracked the top 10 at cruiser and have KO'd guys never stopped before.
There is a reason why Miranda could go 10 with Dorticos, eat flush punches and give him a more competitive fight than Kudryashov.
There is a reason why old man RJJ was able to survive so long against Lebedev and even rock him.
Lebedev is barely 5'11, has a shorter reach and at 38 took probably the most physically imposing guy in the division, Gassiev to a SD.
Increased weight=increased durability
Small target=hard to hit, easy to get countered by
Smaller fighter=faster reaction time, faster speed, more accurate puncher, means he's going to put it on your chin
These cruisers are big, but easy to hit, aren't that accurate with their punches and are relatively slow punchers which makes them easy to counter. Plus there isn't really any defensive wizard, Usyk probably has the best defense but even his is heavily flawed.

I'm not denying that! That's mainly because Artur Beterbiev is an exceptional puncher. That doesn't necessarily make him a natural cruiserweight or any less of a light heavyweight. There are rare natural light heavyweights that exist who are exceptional power punchers that possess the power to drop and stop natural cruiser-weights. That doesn't automatically mean cruiser-weight would be the most suitable weight division for them.
Artur Beterbiev compared to the big cruiser-weights is significantly smaller in size. Light heavyweight is the more suitable weight division for him. At least from current showings.

Beterbiev hurt Usyk multiple times in the amateurs, he's dropped him with body shots and has hurt him to the head even with headgear.
The amateur scoring style favored Usyk's style more, if it'd been a pro fight it would've been Beterbiev winning.
Usyk has been hit regularly in the pros including his last fight and rocked by lesser boxers/punchers than Beterbiev.

Lol. Have you even seen the size difference between the two (Usyk and Beterbiev) when both fought each other in the amateurs? Usyk looked significantly bigger in size. So no, he isn't that big to be an appropriate cruiserweight. Light heavyweight is the more appropriate weight division for him.

There is a tons harder than boxing fight for stamina. Use your brain im sure you will find out
EDIT : I hope you do know what it mean to have a PhD. Probably not otherwise you wouldn't argue over what he said
I guarantee the exercises you gave him werent as hard as a fight, get outta here with that non sense.
I think andre know more
about exercises he gave than you so you say non sense
He's a very large 175lber, can he keep fighting at this weight?
I've always felt he should consider moving up, wouldn't mind seeing him fight Usyk to continue their rivalry from the amateurs.

like how beterbiev declined kovalev? well now hes got a shot at one of his old belts. taking the easy way paid off. congrats i guess?
I can say Beterbiev ducked me since he declined my offer when he was still a green fighter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_h-MM7WsAA23fX.jpg
Atleast Koelling had the balls to accept the fight... all other declined :/

Ceci étant dit, Yvon Michel est un osti de cave qui yaurait du mettre Beterbiev devant Stevenson depuis un long bout.
Pas sur que Stevenson dit oui y duck pascal, alvarez j'imagine pas Beterbiev
