I have seen since manny/ roy jones etc.
He maintains full stamina/power even late in fights. Throws from any angle(including awkward uppercuts). Moves very well, a great boxing IQ and jab. When he was cut agaisnt browne(a horrible potentially fight ending cut) he seemed to get stronger and more aggressive.
A rare find.
Artur vs andre ward is my dream matchup.
I think he would beat heavyweight andy ruiz and gownacki easily.
Arum said the same chit like a month ago
the better question is,
why did Beterbiev run to PBC when he was under the same promotion as Bivol?
Forget the past.
Let's focus on 2022.
Beterbiev is on record - in front of millions of people - saying he wants Bivol NEXT, after he beat the daylights out of Joe Smith Jr only two months ago.
When has Bivol ever said the same thing? Never,
Bivol is terrified of Beterbiev.
He used to have 8 sparring partners at a time and used to send most of them home
He is 295-5 as an an amateur
He has beaten Kovalev TWICE as an amateur
He has one win and two losses against Usyk an an amateur
He has beaten Gvozdyk TWICE - amateur and pro
He has beaten Michael Hunter as an amateur
He is a TWO time Olympian
Yet people still think he is some stiff, lumbering, low IQ robot. Goodness me.
If he was so great and sure of himself, he wouldn't be blatanly ducking Bivol for years and hiding under Arum's skirt to avoid him
Blatantly ducked him while unifying the division.
Most of you guys were calling Bivol a Eurobum with no special effects until he shut Canelo out.
some people are getting overrated.
him and usyk both.
how many hall of famers have they beaten collectively? 0 at this point.
How many hall of famers has Crawford beat who you rate highly?
nah he's too slow for someone that isn't rangey. he hasn't fought a quick elite boxer yet.
his resume is very very thin.
These eastern euros with big amateur backgrounds have proven though that they can jump right in the mix at the pros and all that amateur experience in their 20s really does add up to something. I used to think it was different but that is seeing a lot of olympic medalist flop as pros but usually they were western fighters like an audley harrison who won the gold at a young age but didnt have the 200+ amateur fights some of these guys have into their 20s.
Anyways there is no historically elite guy to challenge Beterbiev, he has knocked out everyone thus far. I think a prime roy jones could beat him sure but then you are talking the best of the best. His timing and pressure are great he has knocked out a lot of guys with faster hands.

The better question is why Bivol and Ramirez didn't fight Beterbiev who had more belts on Top Rank vs running to other promotions to fight each other. That's 2 - 1 in Beterbiev's favor. As I said, nice try.

yeah, I agree, they need to be black or North American or both to be rated correctly.
Bivol's manager is literally under a Weirwood tree before Covid saying we don't need the Beterbiev fight. Thats back in 2019. Go search for it. Beterbiev went to Arum and he wants the fight. Nice try anyway.

I don't think Artur is slow and some people, including other fighters seem to get fooled on this subject until they get in there with him and don't see his hands coming.
Beterbiev to me is the best right now along with Usyk, before the injure. We will see after he gets back in the ring what he brings.
I agree--how strong is he? He made joe smith look like a middle weight physically
artur is onee of the best and will do well at cruiserweight
If he was so great and sure of himself, he wouldn't be blatanly ducking Bivol for years and hiding under Arum's skirt to avoid him
Bivol has gilberto to fight..
winner gets Artur

what currnt fighters beat usyk and beterbiev?
Sorry, Brown and Gvozdyk (boxing level not too far behind bivol) were exceptional movers and he tracked them both down. He hurts guys in clinches if they let one of his arms free. He doesn't even need a full extension to generate gaming-changing punches, even punches when his feet are square so he doesn't need to turn his hips or drive through with his legs to generate power sometimes just pure arm punches. Look how guys respond when he hits them. If Bivol beats him, it's going to be because of injuries and letting the clock tick since 2019.
Arum should have made the fight ASAP, so he could have another undisputed fighter in his stable.
brown got his ass beat by the mumified corpose of Pascal. GTFOH with that chit. Pascal also scored much cleaner KD's
Gvozdyk's only claim to fame was a 42 yo. he was not a mover. he was a walker.
