Yes, Bivol is the most skilled fighter right now

[JakeTheBoxer]

Show me better wins on Usyk˙s or Inoue˙s resume than Canelo and Beterbiev are. Until than..

IF, and that is a huge if, Crawford can beat Canelo, than Crawford is the most skilled and he is N.1., hands down.

Usyk is beating guys that are big, but not very good. Joshua and Fury are maybe Zurdo level. And Inoue is beating guys people hardly even know. If we are honest.

But, ok, I am generous, Inoue is. N.1. p4p, I give him that for now.

I expected Bivol to be better at making adjustments

the way TBud closed the show in the championship rounds against Madrimov in an incredibly close fight

or how Floyd made sure to buckle Cotto with those lead uppers

Bivol didn’t do that in Artur 1

But Bivol is the most DURABLE fighter in boxing today.

didn’t come close to going down once from the couple of hard counter rights that Artur nailed him with

only opponent to shake Bivol’s legs was Joe Smith Jr twice with his overhand each time

Tiger Paw Artur right to the body in big gloves knocked Usyk down in the amateurs. Usyk who’s much bigger than Bivol

Bivol took those like a champ

[SouthpawRight]

Bivol does these and he’s p4p king

Bivol beat Artur thrice this time 9-3 then 10-2 Benavidez and 8-4 Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai

Maybe throw Cuban David in there too

[Haka]

Bivol lost against a 40 year old and won against a 41 year old.

[SouthpawRight]

Most impressive was Bivol countering Artur’s footwork

Bivol timed Artur breaking his base as he was advancing and out of position to strike

Bivol is one for the focused purists

inattentive jackasses need not apply

[SouthpawRight]

Bivol infighting isn’t the best but it was good enough to outfight Alvarez at close quarters

Out of respect for his tremendous power Bivol didn’t infight with Tiger Paw Artur

Bivol has the best jab, back foot boxing, and defense [Shakur hasn’t boxed against Hall of Famers yet] today

[Haka]

prime Gassiev > 40 y/o Beterbiev

[NihonJim]

prime Gassiev > 40 y/o Beterbiev

Gassieb absoloutley sucks he got schooled by bloody wallin

[Oracle01]

How is a fighter who can't even throw uppercuts, has no inside game be the most skilled? Just bouncing around throwing 1-2s does not make you the most skilled.

[JOITATS]

If he truly is the "most skilled fighter right now", how did he lose to drago?

that's what separates him from Inoue and Usyk.
