    I agree with the OP. Beterbiev is a real beast/wrecking ball with deceptive skills. If Canelo fights him I would have to give the Gingercan his props. Another great fight would be Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith. I knew Beterbiev was the real deal when he took my homeboy Callum Johnson's best shots and came back to get the stoppage win.

      Bivol-Beterbiev is the fight to make, two top men in division.

        Bivol is definitely the most skilled and complete LHW but I worry a bit by his lack of size.

        I think Beterbiev might be a little too big and strong, too physical and eventually grind Bivol down who really is a SMW and not the biggest of ones either.

          I want to see it, but Beterbiev seems all wrong for Bivol. Bivol is such a good boxer, you cant beat him on points. The only guys who can beat him are bigger stronger more powerful guys who can walk through his best shots and stop him.

          I just described Artur Beterbiev.

            Bivol is a bad match-up for Beterbiev.

            He's way faster than Gvozdyk and links his combos better while taking less risks.

              Yeah best boxer technically, but at times he is too gun-shy. Although he clearly beat Pascal, Pascal was still having some success. Based on Bivol's recent performances I would say Beterbiev definitely has a chance.

                I agree he is the best all around fighter at 175 Beterbiev has a chance but Bivol has every tool to win. His 2 issues imo are he might be chiney we dont know yet he has been hit to chin much.
                An he dosent commit to offence enough when he has his man hurt its smart he doesn't take chances on getting ko'ed but he has the power to do so get ko when you can.

                    You can't patty punch and cruise your way into 12th round with King Artur... That's basically what Bivol has been doing in his last few bouts... Unless something dramatically changes in his skill set he would meet his faith the same way Gvozdyk did.... On attrition...

                    But all this is just hypothetical... Bivol wants nothing of what he saw last night...
