Would Beterbiev’s power trouble someone like Fury?

    Being h8t is not nice. Tyson wouldn't like to be hit by him. Not sure he'd ko fury though. But a cumulative for sure he could ko tyson. But no-one hits fury enough

      Probably hovering around 185-190? Some of the legendary hitters of the past century were that weight.

        no

        sure there have been light heavyweight to heavyweight guys in the past but beterbiev is still at 175 as a 37 year old. Even someone like tarver and adamek who went to heavy late they were 2" taller than beterbiev

        he is too small and especially for a monster like fury who has taken monster punchers like wilder and wlad to school



        beterbiev could probably get some titles at cruiserweight. figure everyone at cruiserweight are all guys who's management/promoter/coaches ect arent confident enough they could beat the heavyweight champs, that is why cruiserweight is a weak division nearly all the time. All the top cruiserweights typically will atleast try for a heavy title.

          Yeah most likely in that range, I would think.

            Technically anyone that has good power can "hurt" someone with a great shot if they were given a "free" chance to put everything into it.

            Problem is in boxing you don't get free shots against a skilled fighter so you lose that power trying to set up shots and being defensively responsible.

            The better question would be "would Beterbievs power be as respected at Cruiserweight". You can't just conclude that he is a stronger puncher than guys at Cruiserweight.
