    Haven't seen enough of Beterbiev to make an informed decision yet.

      He beat up cloud easily so therefore he's a future ATG - NSB

        Only if you include the full context. The nature of his destruction of Cloud only 5 (now 6) fights into his career combined with amateur wins over guys like Kovalev and Mekhontsev paints a bright picture for his future.

        ATG? Maybe not, but at least worthy of a few high-profile showdowns.

          Beterbiev needs to earn a title shot by beating a few contenders like Sergey did.

          He should fight a few LHWs like Agnew, Campillo, Thompson, White and Karpency first, then fight Kovalev.

          I'd also like to see Beterbiev vs. Fonfara as a final eliminator late next year, then the winner fight Kovalev in early 2016.

            I like to wait until a boxer has beaten a few top fighters before i start matching them up with the very best.

            Tavoris cloud is absolute pants. It'll take more than that for me to start saying what a bogeyman Beterbiev is.

            Potential for sure, but as of today that is all it is - potential.
