Bivol' s resume is aging great

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo is still the guy at 168.
Ramirez is a cruiserweight champion.
Beterbiev is top 5 p4p.

Bivol is 2-1 against actual top 10 p4p guys.

Not many active guys have such a resume.

beterbiev is overrttaed and he beat him when he was 40. bneterviev co uldnt even cut the ring off, zero jab, and doesnt move hjis head,.

[famicommander]

Nobody has Zurdo top 10 P4P even now, much less at the time of the fight. It was a really good win but that doesn't make Ramirez a P4P guy.

TBRB top 10 P4P:
1. Usyk
2. Inoue
3. Crawford
4. Bivol
5. Beterbiev
6. Rodriguez
7. Alvarez
8. Lopez
9. Teraji
10. Nakatani

Ring top 10 P4P.
1. Usyk
2. Inoue
3. Crawford
4. Bivol
5. Beterbiev
6. Rodriguez
7. Alvarez
8. Davis (hasn't updated since the Roach fight)
9. Nakatani
10. Haney

but who is better pure boxer between Usyk and Bivol

Usyk and it's not particularly close. Bivol is a fantastic fighter but Usyk is on another level.

[SouthpawRight]

Now add taking the 0’s of Benavidez and Jai to that record

[IceTrayDaGang]

Canelo is still the guy at 168.
Ramirez is a cruiserweight champion.
Beterbiev is top 5 p4p.

Bivol is 2-1 against actual top 10 p4p guys.

Not many active guys have such a resume.

so he fought 3 guys worth mentioning... cool.. how about the rest of his resume without them 3 names on there?

[JakeTheBoxer]

I like Usyk, but, honestly, Canelo and Beterbiev are better fighters than Fury and Joshua.

Tiger Paw Artur and Alvarez are both all time great

the same cannot be said of Joshua and Fury

Bivol vs world title winning opposition:
W vs Jean Pascal UD 12
W vs Joe Smith Jr. UD 12
W vs Canelo Alvarez UD 12
W vs Gilberto Ramirez UD 12
L vs Artur Beterbiev MD 12
W vs Artur Beterbiev UD 12

other notable wins: Sullivan Barrera, Isaac Chilemba, Lenin Castillo, Lyndon Arthur, Malik Zinad

He's well deserving of his P4P #4 ranking, and he will have more opportunities to rise if he keeps fighting and beating quality opposition. Benavidez, the Beterbiev trilogy, and a potential move up to cruiserweight would all enhance his legacy. And he wanted to move down to 168 for a Canelo fight, but Canelo refused.
