bivol has the best chance of all fighters today. i would pick him to decision beterbiev. he is much faster, hes younger and his defense is solid. first step to beat a KO artist is to have top notch defense and be a 12 round fighter.

I still slightly favor Beterbiev. Beterviev is not just a puncher. I think most people are sleeping on his boxing skills which help setup his power/leverage. That's how he breaks down his opponents who are seemingly more skilled/agile. And despite his age, his engine is still good. He can go 12 at his usual pace. Would love to see this fight.
his boxing skills are good he just much slower and older than bivol. bivol was cautious with manlet canelo, he is going to be super cautious with beterbievComment

Bivol and Beterbiev know each other since them both were part of russian olimpic team. Bivol says he was much younger than Artur at the time and looked at him as a leader of russian team (at the time Bivol was 75kg and Beterbiev 91kg) Bivol says he helped Artur in sparring sessions as Artur needed someone with fast feet and mobile as Bivol.
I strongly believe the age will be main factor in their fight and if Bivol is able to keep Artur at bay he will outbox Artur.
It is Artur by KO or Bivol by desicion.
However since Arum says he doesn't allow his fighter to fight on DAZN we can forget about the fight

Meh I believe Bivol will be remembered as the best light heavy of this generation. I believe he will beat Ramirez and Beterbiev.Comment
