Beterbiev The Russian Carl Froch

[QueensburyRules]

Strong, tough guy with power and a style that’s hard on the eyes

physiques built for strength rather than speed

usyk said beterbiev was the best guy he ever fought in the amateurs

Beterbiev is better than Froch.

But Froch had a deep resume because he fought top-10 and top-5 SMWs back to back to back and that's why he's so well respected.

Beterbiev is building a good resume himself though and has a crazy KO record. Hopefully that cut heals quick as he's 36 and running out of time. I think everybody would love to see the Bivol fight but I don't see it happening tbh. Plus Bivol needs to make sure he doesn't take Zurdo lightly.

Beterbiev vs Callum Smith would be a good fight and I'd fancy Beterbiev all day, but Smith's size would make it interesting. I expect a couple soft defenses for Beterbiev coming up however, put cash in the bank type of fights and pad the resume before taking a risky fight in 2023. Reckon we'll see him out in May and Nov next year but I'm hoping he can fit in 3 fights.

Beterbiev would KO whoever holds the WBO title after Smith Jr/Johnson/Yarde/Vlasov/Buatsi have had their little tournament but I think Canelo might get the shot at the WBO title before Beterbiev.

His combos are more crisp

he is stronger--faster--meaner

Froch was lucky to be in the Super Six tournament. That's why he has a "deep resume". The promoters for once showed they can put aside any political games and just put the best in with the best and to hell with protecting their fighters against tough challenges.

Had Froch not been in the Super Six, his career would have been like Kell Brook's, chasing a big name opponent (Khan for Brook) like Calzaghe and taking too many risks trying to establish a legacy and a getting a fat payday.

Froch fought tall, legs apart, awkward jab.

Beterbiev is more compact, has more angles, way more power and much more variety too. The only comparison is that they both has pasty skin.

I have to say...it looked like a legit KO.

Nah. He jumped in way to quick. Froch was far more hurt in round 1, and had to lean against the ropes to stand upright, if he was going to stop the fight, why not then? Nash would not have, but just saying. Then, you have to factor in the context of the fight. At this stage, Groves was around 5 points ahead. He was not in massive danger, maybe in 2-3 punches time, if they landed, he might have been, but at the time, he was not. And Nash does not buy the one punch too many nonsense. Sometimes ONE PUNCH is too many. So the solution to that is nobody fights ever. It was a garbage storage, but as Nash said, what a tag-team. Nash out.

Such a great shot. Can't think of any other fighter where the last punch he ever threw was arguably the best of his entire career.

[Superbee]

I'm still surprised that after all these years most still don't give credit to Beterbiev skills, speed and overall Boxing qualities... Nobody has a better inside game in the sport... Nobody!...

There still time guys, you'll get there ...

Triangle theories but Froch fought much better versions of those fighters.
Froch also has wins over Taylor, Kessler and Abraham.

His resume is better than Beterbiev and Brownes combined.

Browne has beaten nobody close to being prime and is all sorts of ordinary.

This guy regardless of peds got beaten up by a seriously old, past is Jean Pascal a guy who pretty much lost everytime he stepped up even in his prime. The same Pascal that made a 46yr old B-Hop look 26.

He beat badou jack.
