Anthony Yarde passed on fighting Beterbiev

[Mammoth]

Is he a coward? I think so.... Possibly fighting Callum Johnson though.

Damn yarde is an overhyped fighter

[Robbie Barrett]

Beterbiev is offering peanuts for purses. The only reason nobody gives a **** about fighting him. Yarde is probably a bigger draw than Beterbiev, no way is he going to fight for 25% or whatever the **** Beterbiev is offering.

Idk thats a close one. I feel like Yarde is around a top 15, top 20 guy & Beterbiev is around a bottom of the top ten guy right now with all the inactivity & the rise other guys have had since he's been doing not much of anything.

So looking at it like that it doesn't feel like THAT much of a jump up in class for Yarde, but it feels like a huge f#cking jump up in class for him. Cuz Yarde hasn't been in a real fight yet & Beterbiev would give him a real goddamn fight. So while it sounds like it'd be a fun guns drawn type of fight my feel isn't ready for this with just 3 years in the game & mostly complete setup opponents he was supposed to KO in 3 rounds or less.

I don't think so and I'm a Yank, but I think Yarde has THE MOST potential of the UK prospects, even over Dubois, who I think is the overrated one.

He shouldn't take that fight, he isn't ready for it & Beterbiev is a well trained, with better experience. Yarde has holes in his game and has a lot to learn, but athletically he has much more potential than Dubois & Joyce, but best I see is that he's learning & thinking in the ring. If he puts the two together you'll have something there.

Smart choice not taking the fight IMHO.

Beterbiev isn't as good as people say, but neither is Yarde. Beterbiev KO's him. Yarde vs Johnson however is a really good fight, I lean Callum by KO in that one

[Tom Cruise]

Would be waaay too soon if he fought someone like Beterbiev.

But, if him and Warren wants to play in the world rankings nd tell everyone they are no.3 in the world or whatever, I'm glad they are getting called out on it

Sometimes it’s just ****** to fight guys you know will leave you brain damage

[DuckAdonis]

Everybody and their mom is ducking Beterbiev smh...

Robbie Barrett celebrates that another Brit avoids an ass whooping.
