Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: "If Beterbiev Beats Bivol, You Gotta Start Considering Him As Number One Pound For Pound"

[IronDanHamza]

Ramirez was also top 10, I believe top 5 by The Ring at 175 when Bivol beat him.

There you go that's another one. Obviously their resumes aren't far apart.

_Rexy_ get's very emotional about the fighters he loves. Takes this stuff very seriously.

when he did make weight. he already beat Joe Smith Jr convincingly. that's like Beterbiev's second best win.

That was two light heavies at cruiserweight 20 lbs up. Weighing in 20 lbs up is hardly "making weight" to beat the 175 lb guys that Beterbiev beat. And both guys looked fat and slow in that fight. Smith still took Zurdo to decision, while Beterbiev cleaned his clock in 2 rounds. Why are you impressed by dragging a guy coming off a knockout loss up 20 lbs and then having a close fight with him and failing to stop him? I think one site called the scorecards "inexplicably wide."

He beat him like 16 months after Beterbiev stopped him in 2.

so 1 year after.

styles make fights. the reality is Zurdo beats everyone Artur beat. his resume is overrated by his finishing rate

You rate Zurdo more highly than I do. We will see how he does at cruiserweight. Figure he might be able to sneak in a title against someone, maybe in a vacant bout, but he's not beating Opetaia. He's got 2 fights against people who have been actual world champions, and only one of those was an active world champion in the division they were fighting in. If you want to be impressed by him, you do you.

think he beats Briedis at this point tbh. it'll be a war but Briedis won't win at this age. Zurdo is high volume and iron chinned.


but yes Opetaia beats him.

Beating everybody in your weight class gets you moderate p4p points

Destroying everybody in your weight class gets you lots of p4p points.

Beating everybody above your weight class gets you mega p4p points.

Destroying everybody above your weight class gets you super mega p4p points.

If Beterbiev beats Bivol which I don't think he will, that would still only get him on the first bracket. Moderate p4p points.

The p4p list is a joke. You got fools (who i won't even say no names) not even the best in their own weight classes on there just because they're popular.

I think it's wild that Beterbiev is Ring #2 when he's beaten the current Ring #3, #4 and #7 guys, and Bivol is #1 and has beaten....Canelo.

One thing for sure Rexy

King Fughin Artur Beterbiev will make them all believers
What we knew they are just beginning to.acknowledge
Long live the fughin King

Hahahahahahaha ( in Ozzy’s.voice like in CrazyTrain )

Honestly Betterbieve resume sucks ass Benavidez at 25 has an equal or better resume already.

Lets take a look Betterbieve tops wins...Gvozdyk, Yarde, smith and callum

No better than Dirrell, Plant, Andrade.[/o

You forgot to include Tavoris Cloud , Gabriel Campillo and Hot Rod
All those guys would pose problems Benny
Let’s keep it real
Now tell me one guy on Bennyu’s hit list who would give Artur problems

[AKAcronym]

so 1 year after.

No, 16 months. They aren't equal.
