    Gvozdyk, Bivol, Beterbiev, Alvarez: Whose The Best Light Heavy Out Of Them All?

    Gvozdyk is the WBC and lineal champion after dethroning Stevenson, but are the others better than him?

      If Beterbiev stays busy and concentrates on boxing solely, nobody better
      Yeah Beterbiev is my choice

        Beterbiev was dropped by a relatively light puncher in Johnson, out of all the candidates I'd rate him the lowest.

          Bivol looked less beatable so far

            Probably Beterbiev or Gvozdyk i think Bivol is more skilled but he is too small

              I've said for a while now it's between Gvozdyk and Bivol. Bivol has the fewest holes to me, but has size working against him. Gvozdyk is probably the most gifted while Beterbiev has the most power. Alvarez, I can't shake some of the lackluster performances he's had over the last couple years. I'd still probably out my money on Bivol, but it's neck and neck with Gvozdyk imo.

                Could still be Kovalev. With that said, Gvozdyk is #1 right now.

                  You’re right about Johnson being light fisted
                  Beterbiev does need to be more cautious defensively but then again it’s the way he fights
                  Has no respect for his opponent because he has dynamite in those gloves
                  Sticking to Beterbiev, I really believe if he puts aside all the bullchit around him and solely concentrates on boxing, he will be the lineal champion of division
                  Imo , he destroys Bivol and the nail to a pulp

                    Johnosn is no light puncher...he is know to have serious power but Beterbiev I'm didn't impress me in that fight and his power wasn't as fearful as some have suggested.
