    How would Bivol and Beterbiev do vs Prime Kovalev?

    And before you say Beterbiev beat Kov twice in amateurs, the professional ranks are a different story.

    Prime Krusher is truly a top 5 lightweight ever and had a reign of fear over the division for many years.

    I think a prime Kovalev beats Bivol. Kovalev vs Beterbiev would have been a 50/50 fight, somebody is getting stopped though I’ll tell you that.

      Bivol is a better boxer than K, and Beterviev is as good a puncher K, and has a higher ring IQ.
      So if Bivol stays away from the big punch, he wins, and Beterview wins in any case.

        Beterbiev would crush prime Kovalev. Kov is tailormade for Beterbiev. Also Beter style is made for pro boxing, so amateur or pro does not matter in this case.

        I see Kovalev winning vs Bivol, or Bivol takes it in a stinker fight.

          Kovalev seems to have glaring weaknesses like stamina, no inside game, weak to the body. Did he even face a single big puncher in his career other than maybe Boone who knocked him down? I think both Bivol and Beterbiev beat him. I believe both were scheduled to fight Kovalev at one point but the fights fell apart for one reason or another.

            Bivol survives the first 6 rounds as he's the best in the game defensively. he pulls away in the last 6 rounds.


            beterbiev blows him out.

              Bivol’s defence ain’t that good man. He has great feet that can get him in and out of range, so it’s difficult to get into punching range, but he’s not that difficult to hit once you have him in range.

                  he has the best -/+ in the game. better than Loma, canelo, crawford etc
                  Says the guy who thought Smith was gonna give Beterbiev big problems. Remember when I schooled you on that last week? I told you it would be a one sided beat down.

                  Bivol ain’t that hard to hit, that compubox stuff is nonsense, it’s nerds pressing buttons. Bivol has really good output and is difficult to get in punching range so it’s no surprise his plus/minus looks good on paper but as I said if you get into punching range he isn’t that difficult to hit. His defence is pretty basic, high guard, doesn’t slip much, just blocks punches with the gloves.

                    I'm just saying it was a 50/50 fight. i never said smith was gonna win 100%.

                    plus Beterbiev was roiding heavy with that bacne. that cannot be overloooked. we wouldn't know how that fight would've taken place if he didn't go through a puberty at 37
