    I think you are underestimating Beterbiev as I cannot see which 5 fighters beat him never mind easily. He beat Kovalev twice in the amateurs and can see him doing it again if Kov actually fights him instead of talking all the time. I actually am looking forward for the unification fights to see who is the best at LHW.

      I am too looking forward to unification but I don't see Beterbiev being the one and end with belts.He hits hard, but is slow and square and has not proven chin.His defense is not good because he is so square, and would pick Gvozdyk,Bivol,Jack and a 100% Kov to beat him and maybe Browne too.Matter a fact I think if Hot Rod is on his game after all this inactivity he VERY WELL could beat Beterbiev.His two wins in AMS mean almost nothing now.We will see(hopefully) and when he does fight those other E European fighters remember what a said and maybe we can make a bet.

        I would never bet on Beterbiev lol just felt he looked awesome the few fights I seen him in. I remember thinking he will take some beating but you never know, all them you mentioned might smash him or vice versa. Hopefully they will fight each other that's the main thing unlike the pampered heavyweights.

          Agree on hoping they will fight each other to prove it and ESPN has a few but this is boxing where the best very seldom fight the best anymore.Maybe the pressure from ESPN will get some done but im a bit jaded at moment with ANY of them wanting to prove their the best.
