Is looking likely:

My team got me offer to fight artur beterbiev finally some good news

Barrera tweeted.

Beterbiev will slaughter Barrera if they fight. Beterbiev is probably the second best light heavy weight on the planet. Thoughts?

he proved that by beating two shop worn former titlist?


Kovalev and Stevenson would knock him TFO, his balance sucks, he got dropped by a journeyman, and his defense will get him KTFO is he doesnt start moving his head and throwing looping shots

He'd get his ears boxed off by Ward


He has potential but dont get ahea dof yourself

beterbiev stops him within 2 or 3 rounds, as any top light heavyweight would

Make or break for Barrera, his future would be on the line in this fight.

For Beterbiev it's a chance to one up Ward's best LHW win and further stake his claim as being one of the best in the division.

As for how the fight plays out? I'd favour Beterbiev but he has a few flaws that need tweaking most notably his lack of head movement, maybe Barrera can force him to show more of his skillset.

Nice fight, expecting a Beterbiev win but this will be his toughest test to date...

Barrera is not some chump, he was/is a highly rated LHW, a fairly skilled puncher and most of the people praised him before. Ever since Ward beat him people speak about him less positively.
Thing is jut because Ward made him look bad doesn't mean he is bad. Beterbiev is in for a hard fight but he will win eventually

Still better than what Ward did to get his placing at LHW

Opinion buddy! Don't get mad because you're making an ass of yourself n those two other threads. I had Kovalev tagged as the best LHW long before he beat Hopkins.. Same here in terms of talent & potential. Same with Usyk at CW.. Resume doesn't always dictate who is the best.

Stevenson couldn't even KO Andrzej Fonfara or stay on his feet for the full 12 so STFU!

yeah i agree, barrera is dreadful. Beterbiev would get him out of there pretty quick

dreadful is Jeff Page jr...the guy that dropped Beterbiev.

[j0zef]

I think this is a much better fight than most give it credit for. They're both huge punchers with some good fundamentals. Both have shown signs of light vulnerability.

Barrera is slow thogh.. hence why I give Beterbiev an advantage. But it's a 60-40 fight at most. Not a mismatch by any means.

Dreadful? That's a bit harsh. Sullivan isn't a top guy or anything, but he's not "dreadful." Everything is relative. At least Barrera goes out there and looks to fight anyone and everyone that's worth fighting. That's a lot more than you can say about most boxers nowadays. Everyone is avoiding everyone else. Now that's dreadful.
