Comments Thread For: Michel: Artur Beterbiev Would Fight Kovalev Now

[Jim Jeffries]

Beterbiev beat Kovalev at the amateurs...

Mayweather lost to Augie Sanchez and Serafim Todorov (among others) in the amateurs. Means absolutely nothing in the pros.

I like the way Lomachenko and Beterbiev operate, thrown directly to the wolves.

you guys are getting carried away, Beterbiev is not going to fight Kovalev anytime soon.

Beterbiev made a big splash beating Cloud in his 6th fight which was impressive. But he cannot read the headlines and people cant overrate him too soon or it will hamper his development or the expectation from others of him. But solid AM's like him and Lom are ready sooner than later it appears. Still, I can help being reminded of others who burnt out fast like Davey Moore and David Reid.
