Battle for LHW supremacy- kovalev v beterbiev

[Madison Boxing]

No Ward is #1 and the rematch will establish a clear #1..Beterbiev has beaten no one period so why even mention him?? OH I GET IT YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO TROLL TO CREATE A ****** POINTLESS ARGUMENT

not a troll thread. no he isnt number 1, beating a few bums and winning a robbery doesnt make you number 1. Beterbiev would walk right through him, trust me.

Theres currently no clear no.1 and there won't be until either Ward or Kovalev clearly win

[BoxingFan85]

Whether you agree or disagree, Ward won against Kovalev. Unless Kovalev wins a rematch, or Ward decides to 'retire' (in which case he's the biggest puss ever), Kovalev is not the #1.

And I can't agree with establishing Beterbiev as #2, even though I really like him as a fighter. Pimp Stevenson is the lineal champ, Alvarez has been waiting for a shot now, and Gvozdyk has a similar background/style as Beterbiev but with a better resume (Chilemba).

Kovalev vs. Beterbiev would be an amazing fight, but it's not establishing a clear #1.

Word to word what he said ^^^^

At the moment Beterbiev loses against all top 5 LW he has power but you need power and boxing skills. Let's see him against Barrera he destroyed his last opponent who was a big prospect.

The two best @ LHW are Ward and Stevenson..

[therealpugilist]

cause most people have kovalev as the number 1 LHW, so if beterbiev beats him then hes number 1. Not that hard to understand....

hmmmm....your shaolin Troll technique is extra......ordinary

Beterbiev is a prospect with no wins over top ten light heavyweights and Kovalev is coming off a loss in his last fight

no matter how you'd like for the top 2 175ers to come from the eastern European sect or Russia, its not true

the top two 175ers are Ward and Stevenson....both are undefeated at the weight and have all the hardware...tough tittie

Kovalev arguably beat one of the best fighters in the world. Stevenson has been fighting security guards and Eastern European fisherman.

Kovalev >>> Stevenson.


As for the thread topic-- Beating Beterbiev would not make Kovalev # 1.

ah looks like you and a few others disagree about number 1 status. I'd still sure as hell love to see that fight thats for sure.

Kovalev would smash him in the pros. Beterbiev is too raw to deal with the power and skills of Sergey.
