    175 > 147 can we put beterbiev in the top ten p4p already?

    I told you guys beterbiev would win. Gvozdyk can't adjust and panicks when someone closes the distance on him. Jeez how the hell are guys like spence inoue and garcia on there and not beterbiev. He just beat the 175 lb lineal champ and did it in dominant fashion. It's time to put this chechnyan monster in the top ten p4p. And Russia is happy to have him carry our flag.

      Prime Beterbiev at LHW is P4P as hard to beat as anyone. He has an argument for P4P #1. Is 34 still prime though? Well, he looked it tonight.

      I think he deserves to be right behind Loma, maybe tied with Usyk, P4P #2. Neither Crawford or Spence would hold up to that assault if they were the same size, either, especially not Crawford who is built a lot like Gvozdyk, but even thinner and less strong, P4P, than Gvozdyk.

      I mean, since Beterbiev has turned pro, he's been the most dominant technical fighter in boxing, and one of the most avoided. Now he capped it off with a performance and win on par with anything anyone else has done in the sport. 15 wins, 15 KOs, 0 losses. People had Ward P4P #1 at 175, this dude would wreck Ward, stylistically, and Ward even retired when he was mandatory. So it's sort of disrespectful just to put him in the top 10. He is top 5 for sure.

      I do want to see that rematch though. Amazing fight. Gvozdyk should heal up, get a new trainer, and get back to work.

        Spence is p4p: wins SD over Porter, has WBC & IBF belt. Porter was like #5 in the division

        Beterbiev: wins by TKO over Gvozdyk, has WBC & IBF belt + lineal title. Gvozdyk was top 2 at 175.

          Outside of a decent win last night he hasn't fought anyone with a pulse.

            175 is definitely better than 147. 147 hads more fanfare.

                he's not American or Mexican. He has to do at least DOUBLE what they do to get a mention. Sorry, rules are rules!

                  He KO'd Tavoris Cloud in his fourth pro fight. Not to mention dominant KO wins over Hot Rod and now he's the lineal and unified champ at 175.
