Gvozdyk has better footwork and speed
Bivol is more balanced and well-rounded, fast hands, good combos
Beterbiev is all about raw power, vicious knockouts
Alvarez is cold blooded and patient
Who's your favorite at 175 now?
Alvarez!He seems the most complete and can go for the kill. Then I would probably say Gvovdyk. He fought a good fight but we need to see more. He beat Stevenson but he was also 41 and just had been through a grueling fight with Jack and it may have taken something from him. He looked sluggish from the start though that could of just been Gvodyks footwork where Jack fought a different fight. Bivols good but he needs to develope another level and learn to kick into a higher gear. I didn't expect a sensationalist KO against Pascal but I expected more. He under-delivered. Beterbiev is an absolute wild card. .
Guess, the Nail is tops.
He's faster than Bivol, smarter than Beterbiev and more cold-blooded than Alvarez.
As for his chin - out of them four he was probably hit the hardest, and he ate their best shots.
Gvodz was losing on all cards on pts vs a 41 years old inactive fighter...
He gets eated alive by Alvarez... Beterbiev has no chin so he gets KOed by everyone in the division I think.
Gvozdyk was clearly getting the best of Stevenson and knocked him out; **** the scorecards.
My heart says so, but my head goes with Beterbiev... He's so much more than just a power puncher, and nobody seems to have seen it yet...
He is an all around good fighter with good fundamentals. But i see Alvarez coming out on top either way Bivol and Alvarez will be the final 2.

he's reminds me of Usyk. Bivol with a bit more combos.
He's going to box. yes. classic straight forward boxer.
The problem is he has a hand and foot speed advantage on all the others.
And he's smaller also. That's my problem. Those other guys can punch and his defense isn't that great. No denying he's the more skilled guy then the rest, isn't really an argument either with hand speed. His is the fastest but I feel like his tempo never changes because he throws a lot of one twos and it's always at the same pace.
It be dangerous especially since those other guys can box and I think they'll eventually get his timing down.
Maybe he'll change once he faces more dangerous fighters but watching him fight 4 times I feel like it's repeat performance each time.
Bivol too small and too straight forward. I feel like his fundamental on point but he doesnt deviate from it. I think he might need a new coach.
I would like beterbiev but he's not active enough for me but his power is real and the other guys defense isn't that great.
Gvodzyk seems like the most well rounded of them. Don't think too much of Alvarez.

He did kinda fade in the first fight. I still think it's a 50/50 fight, especially if Kovalev trains properly.
dude, all Alvarez has to do is wear ear muffs for 4-5 rounds.
Turn it up in round 6. it's over for Kovalev.
Alvarez is durable enough to do that.
i'll take your 50/50 odds. you wanna bet cash on the fight?
his speed has reduced. his stamina is also non-existant at this point. His chin has also been deteriorated.
he's hit the point of no return at 35.
He won't be faster than his last fight. He won't get better stamina magically at this point either.
All of the above are favorites to beat him at this point. He just has a puncher's chance in the first 4 rd.

beterbiev is the most overrated. he's got the worst resume. least pro experience. he's old, stiff and slow. His chin is also shaky. Let's not forget he got floored by 2 jobbers.
He can crush those cans though.
I like Beterbiev. I'm also high on Gvozdyk but he was walking into a lot of shots tonight. Bivol is also good but I'm not sold on him yet. With that being said, Alvarez beating Kovalev has accomplished the most.
