Would you agree Canelo will be #1 at lhw if he beats Bivol clearly?

Because Gvoz got lucky v Adonis,& Bivol destroyed Smith & has been champ many yrs winning clearly You must think very highly of Joe Smith then. I don't care, I think it was a great win and Bivol's a great fighter. All it really comes down to is who was a better win, Gvozdyk or Bivol. Who wins if they fought in their prime? I think it's 50-50, maybe slight edge Bivol. Gvozdyk looks great at times and average at times.

I seriously doubt Smith pulls it off,he was getting whooped by Vlasov & arguably robbed him I seen Beterbiev get dropped by complete bums

Nah beterbiev definitely still got the better resume lmao

Beterbiev is a loose #1, really him and Bivol should be equally ranked #2 with #1 vacant. The legit #1 LHW would be decided with Beterbiev vs Canelo (considering those are the two that win).

That makes no sense,ranking is based on who beat better comp It literally makes total sense. When you beat the Champion you become the Champion. Beterbiev is the man at the weight class, you have to beat him to take his spot. When Carlos Baldomir beat Zab Judah who was the Champion, he became ranked #1 as the new Champion. Was he the best fighter? No definitely not but he was ranked #1 because he just beat the guy who was ranked #1.

Marcus Browne Oleksandr Gvozdyk Callum Johnson Gabriel Campillo Tavoris Cloud That's a much deeper resume than Bivol's at 175. Betebiev beat former champions, then won a belt, then unified it by beating the reigning lineal champion, and he's fighting another belt holder next. Joe Smith Jr = Gvozdyk Pascal > Marcus Browne Barrera > Callum Johnson the other 2 are bums

So then how is Bivol's resume better than Gvozdyk's if Smith is his best win lol Because Gvoz got lucky v Adonis,& Bivol destroyed Smith & has been champ many yrs winning clearly

I seriously doubt Smith pulls it off,he was getting whooped by Vlasov & arguably robbed him So then how is Bivol's resume better than Gvozdyk's if Smith is his best win lol

definitely. especially after Joe Smith knocks out Beterbiev I seriously doubt Smith pulls it off,he was getting whooped by Vlasov & arguably robbed him

That list is a bum of the month club except Gvoz Bivol's resume is soft as hell beyond Pascal, Smith, and maybe Barrera too. Difference is Beterbiev beat the lineal champ and unified. Bivol hasn't.

But Bivol beat Joe Smith clearly,& has been a champ for many yrs That was a great win, so was his win over Pascal. If we're comparing best wins though, I'm pretty sure Gvozdyk would also beat Smith and Pascal pretty easy. That's why I'm saying Canelo would be tied with Beterbiev. Who cares anyway who's #1, just let them fight and settle it in the ring.

Doesn't matter. Beterbiev is #1, he'll have to beat the #1 to be the #1. That makes no sense,ranking is based on who beat better comp

but the ranking Beterbiev has is only based on beating Gvoz,Bivol & kov would trump Beterbievs wins & in only 2 fights Marcus Browne Oleksandr Gvozdyk Callum Johnson Gabriel Campillo Tavoris Cloud That's a much deeper resume than Bivol's at 175.

He fought similar comp to Bivol, but also beat Stevenson who is a better win than anyone Bivol beat. Even a faded Stevenson. Stopped Chilemba, close fight, but nobody rly looks great aghast Chilemba even Bivol. Looked great in his win over Gonzalez after Gonzalez beat Pascal IMO. Their resume's are similar. But Bivol beat Joe Smith clearly,& has been a champ for many yrs

but the ranking Beterbiev has is only based on beating Gvoz,Bivol & kov would trump Beterbievs wins & in only 2 fights Doesn't matter. Beterbiev is #1, he'll have to beat the #1 to be the #1.

Gvoz was a flash in the pan imo,he retired immediately afterwards after 1 decent win He fought similar comp to Bivol, but also beat Stevenson who is a better win than anyone Bivol beat. Even a faded Stevenson. Stopped Chilemba, close fight, but nobody rly looks great aghast Chilemba even Bivol. Looked great in his win over Gonzalez after Gonzalez beat Pascal IMO. Their resume's are similar.

Beterbiev is the lineal champion. He beat Gvozdyk, who beat Adonis Stevenson, who beat Chad Dawson. Beterbiev also has two belts instead of just one, and is about to fight for a third against Smith. Beterbiev is the legitimate champion of the division until he loses or changes weight classes.

No because Bivol's #2 not #1. but the ranking Beterbiev has is only based on beating Gvoz,Bivol & kov would trump Beterbievs wins & in only 2 fights
