Bivol' s resume is aging great

[famicommander]

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

Usyk's resume is much deeper than just Fury and Joshua (TBRB rankings used, secondary and interim titles ignored):
W vs #2 Krzysztof Glowacki UD 12 (reigning and future WBO cruiserweight)
W vs #10 Marco Huck TKO 10 (fmr. WBO crusierweight)
W vs #6 Mairis Briedis MD 12 (reigning WBC cruiserweight; future WBO cruiserweight; IBF/Ring/TBRB/lineal cruiserweight)
W vs #2 Murat Gassiev UD 12 (reigning WBA/IBF cruiserweight)
W vs Tony Bellew KO 8 (fmr. WBC cruiserweight)
W vs #1 Anthony Joshua UD 12 (fmr. and reigning WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight)
W vs #2 Anthony Joshua SD 12 (fmr. 2X WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight)
W vs Daniel DuBois KO 9 (ftr. IBF heavyweight)
W vs #1 Tyson Fury SD 12 (fmr. WBA/IBF/WBO/2X Ring/2X TBRB, reigning WBC/lineal heavyweight)
W vs #1 Tyson Fury UD 12 (fmr 2X lineal/TBRB/Ring; WBC; WBO/WBA/IBF)

Other notable victories: Thabiso Mchunu, Michael Hunter, Derek Chisora

8-0 vs top 10
6-0 vs top 5
5-0 vs #1 (or #2 if Usyk was #1)
10-0 vs fighters that won a legitimate world title
5-0 vs reigning world titlists
3-0 in unification fights
12-0 in world title fights
4-0 in lineal world championship fights
23-0-0-0 overall record, 14 KOs

Cruiserweight: Lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO undisputed
Heavyweight: Lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO undisputed (plus IBO)

2 division lineal world champion
2 division undisputed world champion
2 division world titlist

Notable achievement:
-Usyk is 10-0 in his opponents' home countries and 5-0 on neutral ground, including 3-0 vs the A-side fighter in Saudi Arabia
-One of only four men in the 3/4 belt eras to be undisputed in two weight classes (Holyfield [3 belt], Crawford, Inoue)

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.

why win over Zinad so good again?

why win over Zinad so good again?

Zinad was the #5 TBRB ranked light heavyweight in the world at the time of the fight. ESPN and The Ring also had him ranked. It's not an amazing win but it was a KO win against an undefeated, world ranked contender.

Zinad deserves another shot on a major card

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,.

Beterbiev is top 5 p4p. keep on crying.

[El_Maldito_Rey]

Now waitaminute last I remember

Canelo is a short fat ducker that cherry picked his way get the belts at 168

Beterbiev is 40, last I remember, everyone past 35 is over the hill, not in their prime and at 40? That's ancient

Zurdo???? LOLOLOLOLOL

[gamesworn]

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

Jai is actually really good. I favor Jai over Bivol

Jai is a well schooled boxer

bit basic and quite hittable though having already had a broken jaw

it’s be an interesting match as Jai is a pendulum, much longer than Bivol, and loves the step back

It should be Bivol`s cash out fight before retirement.

[HisExcellency]

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.

Also, let's not forget he's the only fighter to hand Canelo his first 'PROPER' loss since he was just 23yo and green when he fought Mayweather. Therefore, Bivol has handed 2 top p4pers their only loss to date in addition to popping Zurdo's cherry!
