beterbiev is the best out of the 3 without a doubt. looked great as a pro and people dont understand how good he was as an amateur.
Exactly,
People don't realize that Beterbiev was p4p#1 in ams 2010, he beat in competitions and sparrings all Russian national team including some cruiserweights (i.e. Lebedev, Chahkiev etc) and even heavyweights. He beat Usyk once, before those two controversial loses at Olympics and World.
Artur is a boxer for more than 22 years, extremely disciplined and a brave warrior.
I take Gvozdyk over Bivol anytime... So there's always that... No one as we speak can beat King Artur... Of course there could always be some lucky shots that could mix things up...
I agree with you, Gvozdyk is #2 best lhw, ring magazine also considers him there. I remember prime Kovalev saying that Gvozdyk is the best one at lhw.
My impression has always been that Kovalev has something personal against Artur and will never praise him
That's 100% true, Kovalev would never ever praise Artur. My point was on Gvozdyk, being the best second lhw after Artur
