Who is truly, the best light heavyweight right now?

It's one of the three young undefeated champions Canelo will never fight.

It’s Beterbiev Time It’s now or never , seems to have his hunger back since he resolved his managerial problems

Add a Poll Who do you see as the #1 fighter in the division? Is it still Kovalev? Based on the outcome of Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev, will that winner be your new #1? What about Bivol? Or do you simply feel that, there's no #1 based on current fights / the fact that they all have proven themselves as great fighters? I think we all can agree those four fighters are the best four in the weight class (well, Beterbiev can still be considered a slight ?). Hey, Can you add a Poll to this thread ? It's a great thread to see easy access Poll numbers, don't you think ? Peace. :headbang:

They said it best yesterday Ward and Bradley. We don’t know but after Gvozdyk and Beterbiev fight, we’ll have a better idea. As of now, I’ve been most impressed by Gvozdyk.

I guess I'm in the minority but I still think it's Kovalev. Definitely a possibility. I’d favor him over Beterbiev and he seems to be a favorite to many here.

Probably the winner of beterbiev gvozdyk at this point, then bivol. After Saturday, I think kovalev is a notch below those guys. His gas tank was always a bit suspect when the fight gets tough, but he was looking like he was gonna fold up from 5-6 good body shots. His durability has a huge question mark too...if yarde wasn’t gassed himself, he probably coulda got the stoppage. Even though kovalev bounced back in the 9th, he still looked one or two solid shots from going. His legs also aren’t what they used to be...a prime kovalev woulda picked yarde apart with straight punches on the outside in routine fashion.

Beterbiev will own them all... Here, I wrote it first... :)

Was just about to ask why no one's going with Gvozdyk. Yeah buds, that kid looks good. Maybe i'm still overly impressed by his title fight, but still the kid's earned respect, he gets my vote. 3 people in a row picked him then became 5 after your post. Tied with Bivol if this were a poll, which it should be lol

I'm riding with the nail on this one. Yea...Jimmys got it down. https://media.giphy.com/media/iWVAsJ9Q5fFGo/200.gif

Pillock Smith is world class whilst the light heavy lads are all untested and easy pickings U twat stop hyping english hypejobs! Smith is good but will lose to all current light heavyweight champs period

Bivol looks the best bet to me

Govozdyk is my pick. Best overall boxer of the bunch.

I’m not confident there is a right answer. I don’t think any of these guys beats everyone. And I do not think Kovalev is out of the hunt.

The Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev winner I'd say is number 1. But any series of fights between those 2 and Kovalev/Bivol could determine the best. Kovalev may well struggle against these guys now, but I'd still like to see him in the mix.

Pillock Smith is world class whilst the light heavy lads are all untested and easy pickingsthe English always with the hypejobs

On paper its Kovalev but who is the legit best and man to beat the rest right now I'd say Bivol.

Have a word with yourself you bloody clown Smith is head and shoulders above the lads at light heavy Only Canelo is better around his weight class Absolute nonsense. Smith gets smoked by all current light heavy champions except past prime Kovalev

The strongest lightheavy weight champions go in this order: 1.1 Beterbiev 1.2 Bivol 2. Gvozdyk 3. Kovalev

Callum Smith the instant he moves upQuit pushing the damn Englishmen. Smith is very good but the Bivol beats him at 168 or 175. The nail and Beterbiev beat him at 175. He could probably beat old past prime Kovalev.
