Comments Thread For: Arum Praises Beterbiev: 'I Think He May Be the Best Ever (At 175)'

[OldTerry]

Alzheimer's has set in clearly.

That said, he is great and definitely the best in the world at 175 at the moment.

Not so sure that Bivol wouldn't win. He and Beterbievl are definitely one and two and I hope they are matched up to see which is which.

I think Beterbiev stops him but I would not be shocked if Bivol won, either. I would love to see that one.

That's one of the best fights in boxing.

We don't even know if he's the best today! Lol!

Beterbiev would get shut out by a prime RJJ.

Ahi…..no. You’re doing too much there Ahi…

He would've been scared sh**less of Matt Franklin/Mathew Saad Muhammad. Mike Spinks at Light Heavyweight was Lethal. A prime Marvin Johnson. The light heavyweight's history is stacked with greats. Beterbiev has beat who? Joe Smith. ? Yes, Beterbiev is a very good present day champ but to put him along with the greatest ? No way. Even a motivated slightly past his prime Roy Jones would've gave Beterbiev fits. Can he beat Bivol ? Even that's up for debate. How old is Arun now? 119 ?

Well, certainly one of the hardest punchers ever at light heavyweight.

The greatest ever, ooh can't just say that now. There was a prime Roy Jones Jr, who looked unbeatable, until he went once to heavyweight but came back down not looking the same.

Archie Moore, Bob Foster, pretty exceptional fighters as well. Michael Moorer was powerful, but a glass jaw and not good defence.

A combination of Alzheimers and Dementia.....

Every time an unbeaten champ comes along people always say he would rip through the history of the division and then the champ loses and makes those comparison look ******. Jones speed would have driven him crazy and if he thinks Callum could hit, he would have been knocked senseless by the Spinks Jinx left hook! And I haven't even gotten started.

Oh come on beat Bivol first. So if Bivol beats Beterbiev does that make Bivol the best ever? Heaven forbid if Nelo beats Beterbiev then Nelo must be GOAT of all time above SRR?
