Chad Dawson says no one beats Beterbiev at 175

People start to underrate Bivol seriously , compared to Beterbiev. Unlike Artur, Bivol was never dropped. There is nothing to suggest Beterbiev will just KO Bivol.

Remember Gvozdyk? Same thing will happen to Bivol and I am a Bivol fan. Bivol is better than Gvozdyk, he's a smarter fighter and technically better but I think Gvozdyk might have more power. Gvozdyk's mistake was trying to plant his feet and throw shots when he should have been constantly on his bike and using his size and reach advantage (easier said than done I know) but Bivol interestingly noted this down - he is very analytical so I could see him outboxing Beterbiev. This would be a 50-50 fight imo and it would depend on how well Beterbiev adapts to Bivol's style and whether Bivol can sustain fighting while retreating given the pressure he will be under.

mein sheizer commander, heil the reich ww1.............

The problem in this forum: Now all Canelo nut huggers have Bivol winning and then taking Usyk apart. LOL.

He's a good fighter but people are going a bit overboard about the Joe Smith win. He's gone from people saying he would have a hard fight with Joe Smith to a P4p GOAT who nobody except a prime Ali could have a chance against and its all a bit absurd. A couple of months ago a sizeable number of the forum were saying Canelo would beat Bertebiev I'm just saying chill the eff out. No that has never happened. I have never seen anyone claim that Canelo would beat Beterbiev, ever. I have seen ALOT of people claim that there are other people out there claiming those things.

Fast feet is everything You can't lay a glove on prime Mayweather and Ali because of this. Jfl I explained this already to you in another thread. Beterbiev is a switch hitter. You cannot get away from a switch hitter since he can continously step rightly to lefty, move onward and cover alot of distance. So if Bivol moves back to get out of the way from Beterbiev he keeps orthodox stance. When that distance becomes to great, Bivol will think he is out of the way, but Beter will catch him.

Speed > dimensions Which why Canelo been successful so far. Canelo is faster than beterbiev Why does speed matter if you throw 1 inch punches ?

Speed > dimensions Which why Canelo been successful so far. Canelo is faster than beterbiev Canelo`s only success at 175 is beating washed up Kovalev. You think Beterbiev wouldn`t knock out that version Kovalev? Canelo is flat footed plodder. He didn`t look like flat footed plodder at 168, because his competition there sucked. Nah, Beterbiev stops Canelo inside 6 rounds. It would be ugly.

pre fight they tried to make gvozdyk-beterbiev sound like a 50-50 match up with beterbiev getting older then beterbiev broke him down and crushed him beterbiev was the underdog for that fight

Beterbiev is so much more aggressive and heavy-handed at the weight than what Canelo is and is 4 inches taller than Canelo with an inch longer reach than Bivol. Canel didn't belong at 175 giving away so many physical advantages, that's not the case with Beterbiev its a totally different fight. Speed > dimensions Which why Canelo been successful so far. Canelo is faster than beterbiev

Fast feet don't matter against Beterbiev, Beterbiev is ambidextrous essentially. Bivol gets worked. Fast feet is everything You can't lay a glove on prime Mayweather and Ali because of this. Jfl

A couple of months ago a sizeable number of the forum were saying Canelo would beat Bertebiev I'm just saying chill the eff out. Yeah, people must calm down. 2 months ago Beterbiev was something like Russian bum Canelo would beat easily. Now he knocks everybody out, including Bivol, because he beat Smith jr. The man who already lost to Bivol also.

not a single flush head shot. you can post it. every single headshot went through an elbow or gloves. you literally can't post a gif from the fight where Canelo lands a flush head shot. canelo is also faster. Beterbiev is so much more aggressive and heavy-handed at the weight than what Canelo is and is 4 inches taller than Canelo with an inch longer reach than Bivol.

I don`t know, I like both guys, but I do believe Bivol can beat him.

He's right, Beterbiev is elite and is a special talent. He'll smash Bivol to bits.

chad dawson was always touchable to the body because he never had fast feet. he's a walker. the thing with Bivol is he has extremely fast feet. he has the best defensive rating in all of boxing. Beterbiev wouldn't land his power much. Fast feet don't matter against Beterbiev, Beterbiev is ambidextrous essentially. Bivol gets worked.

Remember Gvozdyk? Same thing will happen to Bivol and I am a Bivol fan. gvozdyk was not even close defensively. and he's also a walker. not a bouncer like Bivol, he's like Pacman.

I don’t see anyone currently beating Beterbiev. I’m very confident he beats Bivol and stops him too tbh. I rate Bivol too but I just can’t see him keeping Beterbiev off, at some point he’d get to him. Only thing that’s gonna beat Beterbiev is father time I reckon. Going off on a bit of a tangent here but Chad could’ve/should’ve been a special fighter IMO, I thought he had everything, speed, power, accuracy, athleticism, technical ability etc. He was one of those guys I was always hoping could just put it all together but it never seemed to happen, we only saw flashes of the fighter he could have been IMO. Agree. Dawson should have been a pound got pound mainstay for years but he never fulfilled his potential. His issues were always mental - lapses in concentration, poor external decisions such as agreeing to go to 168 for Ward and at times just a sheer lack of consistency/laziness.

Just a side note, Canelo did hit Bivol in the fight so Bivol is not untouchable. Beterbiev will touch him up for those who think Bivol will just go in there for 12 rounds and outbox Beterbiev. Then again, keep pushing the fight back. Beterbiev is at the age his age can show up in any fight. not a single flush head shot. you can post it. every single headshot went through an elbow or gloves. you literally can't post a gif from the fight where Canelo lands a flush head shot. canelo is also faster.
