Calling it now, Gvozdyk/Bivol will be a superfight for LHW throne

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

You talk about super fights in terms of profit, I talk about super fights in terms of sport and competitiveness. Damn McGregor/Floyd was super fight too then. Not for me

When you have two guys who got the same claim for the top spot at their weight class and they fight each other to find out who's the king of the division, that's big. Usyk/Gassiev was that fight, Canelo/Golovkin, Ward/Kovalev were these fights. Wilder/Joshua was supposed to be that fight before Tyson got back. Garcia/Loma and Spence/Bud are that kind of matchups too

Duplicate post....

Only just seen this, a lot of people have probably just done the same as me and assumed you meant super fight in terms of revenue, buyrate etc.

In terms of a compelling and competitive matchup, I completely agree. Absolutely fantastic fight between two high calibre boxers.
That’s what this sport should be about...

It's sad to see that people are still counting gvozdyk out. Bivol was cautious of Pascal's power until the last bell. He refused to commit to anything big for fear of being countered. Gvozdyk is on a different level that Pascal. Younger,taller,more reach,power in both hands,good footwork,and solid defence. On top of that he took Stevenson's best shots and didn't crumble. The nail will be the last one standing at 175.

Everyone predicted gvosdyk would ko stevenson early and easily. The fight was razor close (maybe because he was weary of Stevenson power) yeah he hurt Stevenson badly but he punched stevenson 20 times unanswered and considering how bad the forum claims stevenson is and how bad his chin claimed to be.

Thats who he gvosdyk beat the guy everyone said ******. Is Stevenson a good win now?

Your comment only makes sense if you admit stevenson is better than the forum gave him credit for. If you think stevenson ****** then gvosdyk beat someone that ******.

As for Resume the 4 champions go.

Alvarez beat a better version of Pascal who was also his sparring partner for years before he retired.
Finished Bute. Knocked out Kovalev

Gvosydk Beat Stevenson who was better than the forum ever wanted to admit. it was a close fight at the stoppage Gvosdyk probbaly should have been up 6-4, he has an issue with range and maybe with south paws too, he might pack a little china too.

Bivol has wide but boring wins over Chilemba and Pascal but it was a dug Pascal up out of retirment.

Beterbiev looks great but he doesnt have a trademark win really.



my order based on resumes
Alvarez
Gvozdyk
Bivol
Beterbiev.

I know this forum will disagree with Alvarez because "he was losing vs kovalev and landed a miracle shot he has no chance int he rematch"

Not based on Resume I think Beterbiev is the best but he probably never gets a match.

It wasn't a prime Stevenson,but it was still a hell of a scalp to have on your record. I'd go on record saying that Stevenson was a B-B+ fighter with a devestating left hand. If you put gvozdyk and bivols best wins,you have chelimba and Stevenson,vs Barrera and Pascal. It's up for interpretation who has the better wins,but I sure as hell want to see all these guys duke it out and have one champion at the end. I'm riding with gvozdyk,but I wouldn't be surprised if any of the 3 other champions come out on top.

While it would be a great fight (imo Alvarez>Bivol), it will never be a superfight. Too foreign, and not well promoted, in a non-glamorous division.

by resume so far yes. But, I think Bivol vs Alvarez is an intresting matchup, Alvarez still isn't a true power puncher. his regular punches arent hard, he has 50% ko although his knock outs are legit knocked you out not mercy stoppages. He can turn over his punches but his regular punches don't have a lot on them he'll throw in a right punch out of no where. he cant even always land it. the reason he couldnt land it on pascal is he sparred him a life times worth.

I think Alvarez is underappreicated and the Kovalev crush isnt over. I think Alvarez will be the betting favourite in the rematch despite most people thinking kovalev was winning easily and ate a lucky punch. Kovalev's promoter is talking ****, Kovalev says very little he jokes with Alvarez and doesnt look like a killer.

No, I don't think it will be as exciting for boxing fans because niether one of them is a top p4p fighter like Spence, Bud, Mikey and Loma are nor would they be fighting for the undisputed HWT championship of the world, like Wilder/AJ.

This is a solid fight that may or may not headline a card. As far as fights in the LHW division, it will not be as big as Ward/Kov because those men were considered top p4p guys as well.

I like your posts, you sound like one of unbiased posters here, but right now it feels like you just look at my messages without actually reading them.

Obviously not right now. But if they build up their resumes and clean the rest of the division as a result, and add Alvarez, Beterbiev, Badou Jack or Kovalev wins then it has a case to be a superfight.
