Just like the scary Russian fighters before him such as Kovalev who were scary killers will always get beaten by a slick defensive fighter. always!

Who's the slick defensive fighter who will beat him?Comment
-
He has barely fought anyone. 16 fights? He is really unproven.Comment

I can see Zurdo and Bivol styles having success vs Bivol but do they have the Power to earn his respect because we seen Gvozdyk basically get broken down trying to "BOX" him
I like Callum Johnson strategy which was to jump right into the FIRE with him and try to get to him first. Jeff Page Jr also caught him and dropped him two with an exchange on the inside! I think that is what Joe Smith needs to do as well, try to clip him and hurt him before he hurts you
The man is a Absolutely MONSTER, nobody at 168-175 are Slick like that anyway so he really don't have that style to worry about at 175. Inside Fighting and just mixing things up is the only way. I think like vs Gvozdyk, if the gameplan is the just avoid his Power, You will get broken down and stopped just like Gvozdyk and Marcus Browne recently. Marcus Browne is as Athletic as you will get at 175 and Beterbiev had no problem cutting the ring against him and getting to himComment

Beterbiev is 295-5 as an amateur.
He has faced competition globally and has seen every style there is. His level of experience is immense.
Unless you bring a prime Roy Jones Jr or Neo from the Matrix into the ring with him, there is not a lot you can do to overcome him
He can wrestle and rag-doll you with ease
He can trap you
He can cut you off
He can open you up
He can push you back
He can fight going backwards
He can counter you
We don't even need to discuss his power either.
His defence is not that bad either. After Browne cut him, how many times after that did Beterbiev get tagged? His head was always off centre and he pushed Browne to the limit and crushed him in the end. That shows immense grit and determination as well.
Canelo MAY have outboxed him but how long for?
Bivol MAY outbox him but, again, how long can he do that for before getting pushed back, mauled and punched in the face with blunt force trauma from 12" away?
To beat him you have to be accurate, perfect and sharp for 36 minutes. Otherwise you're getting smashed.

...that also happens to have an iron chin, good stamina and enough pop to gain your respect? because once beterbiev gets in his rhythm he is terrifying, hasnt gassed in any of his fights, hes only been hurt twice, early. imo the best chance to beat him at the moment is catch him cold in the first couple of rnds, he's started slow in alot of his recent fights. Smiths only chance is to do another Fonfara on him, i cant fooking wait for this fight either way

Bivol beats him and Beterbiev knows it
he’s ducked Bivol for years, never mentions him, he even ran from DAZN when Bivol joined. Kovalev also dismissed fighting Bivol too.
The Russians knew how difficult Bivol is to beat so they wouldn’t give him the opportunity to fight. Canelo was the one who had to find out. Beterbiev knew the same would happen to him.Comment

Are you just making things up or do you genuinely believe it?
Beterbiev has said numerous times he wants to UNIFY and wants all the belts. Who holds the belts is irrelevent. He wants to be undisputed.
He may then go to Cruiserweight or retire and attempt to go for Olympic gold again if it is possible.
He even challenged Usyk and asked Eddie Hearn to make the fight after he linked up to DAZN but Hearn did not respond so he signed with Top Rank instead.
This is all documented and it'll take you less than 60 seconds to find it online.Comment
