It's a new era at 175! rank the four light heavyweight champs right now!

I have gvozydk beterbiev bivol and alvarez. I think kovalev will beat alvarez and it will beat all russian/ukrainians at the top of the lightheavyweight division.

Kovalev still dangerous AF tho, he has that spinning back kick and submission game up his sleeve (as well as a bottle of vodka) Lol yeah he's still dangerous but if you have a good game plan and willing to take some heavy shots from him your always in with a shot of beating him.

Alvarez Gvodyzk Jack Bivol Beterbiev

All of those Europeans are ducking each other

I agree that Bivol is the best. He is a great boxer and a very hard puncher. He seldom loses a round and pitches shutouts over top fighters he doesn't knock out. I think Kovalev has a good chance to win the rematch and be a champion again. Top fighters........hmmm

Alvarez Gvozdyk Kovalev Bivol Beterbiev

1. Beterbiev 2-3. Bivol 2-3. Gvozdyk 4. Alvarez btw, Beterbiev has KO'd Alvarez in sparring and Gvozdyk in the amateurs.

If I'm unbiased it's 1.Alvarez 2.Gvozdyk 3.Bivol 4.Beterbiev

I've always been a big supporter of Beterbiev but I'm afraid now that too much time has passed without him getting the pro experience he needed to be a serious contender (thanks Michel :fu2:). Bivol is obviously very good but I'm not rating him as high as Gvozdyk and Alvarez. Kovalev is still in the picture so I'll rate him #4, just behind Bivol. 1 Alvarez / Gvozdyk 3 Bivol 4 Kovalev

Bivol, beterbiev, alvarez, gvozdyk

Always had Gvozdyk ahead of the rest based on his Chilemba fight, he showed everything a champion needs to show. Beterbiev is unproven in the pros. Bivol got that mad HBO hype - at least GGG had a long run as champ. Alvarez would beat Bivol right now, he is 60/40 to beat Beterbiev and 40/60 against Gvozdyk imo.I pay no attention to HBO hype. I pick Bivol as the best strictly based on what I have seen of him. He beat Barrera easier and better than Ward did. Gyozdyk lost some early rounds to Stevenson and I doubt Bivol would have lost any rounds to Stevenson. Bivol rarely loses a round to anybody so far. Everything Gyozdyk does well Bivol does better in my opinion.

1. Beterbiev 2. Alvarez 3. Gvozdyk 4. Bivol

Also we are forgetting Badou Jack who'd give them all problems IMO. I expect he'll fight Gvozdyk next year. I think Gvozdyk will win and that's the type of extra seasoning that will do him really well moving forward.

Gvozdyk Alvarez Bivol Beterbiev

I wish we had wssb at 175 but I don't think that will happen. I know gvozdyk is with arum and alvarez vs kovalev 2 will be on arum's network which is espn. Wasn't beterbiev supposed to have signed with arum? bivol is with duva who is now working with top rank. alvarez is a gaymon fight who never works with another promoter plus he hates arum I hope kovalev beats alvarez which removes all roadblocks! Very true about Haymon. Main Events would almost certainly get Bivol-Kovalev together next year if Kovalev wins. I think Beterbiev was signed but then there was something in the contract so now he's on DAZN but I'd assume he may be easy enough to get into a unification. I think there's a real chance there's one champion by the end of 2020.

1. Gvozdyk 2. Bivol 3. Alvarez 4. Beterbiev I think Gvozdyk would unify the titles if they all did a tournament. I don't know if his weaknesses fall into Bivol's strengths. I've always felt Beterbiev is slightly overrated. Alvarez is a sleeper it's possible the Kovalev fight gave him great confidence and he's live vs. the top two and a favorite over Beterbiev IMO.
