    The Nail had bags of skill but King Artur had far too much for him. The only man that beats Art is Art himself - maybe by getting blazed on OG Kush and having an orgy pre-fight. I can't see anyone beating him.

        I respect Bivol’s skill but I can’t get excited for his fights. I don’t mind economical fighters but he just looks like he’s deliberately doing the bare minimum.

          As of right now he's definitely the man in the division. It sucks he's really too old to move down to 168 and too small for cruiserweight really. The light heavyweight division isn't really thick with competition until some people move up from 168

            He might be old but he lives a very clean life
            He’s not worn out either
            Light heavyweight is pretty good division at the moment
            In the amateurs he fought as a heavyweight so wouldn’t rule out cruiserweight either
            But I’d rather see him unify the division

              King Artur should be in EVERYONE'S top 5 at the very least. My fear is he'll never be involved in the megafights that we all want to see i.e vs Bivol, Canelo, even Kovalev - although Kov is probably on the slide. I can't tell you how impressed I was vs the excellent Gvozdyk. What a fighter he is - got everything and he does it in his own style. Just awesome.

                Bivol if he doesn’t get the Canelo fight , which I doubt very much , will have one fight himself and then it’s supposed to happen
                Apparently it would be for a good chunk of change as it’s some Russians that are asking for this fight
                Both boxers are known quite well from my understanding and also Beterbiev has not fought in Russia since coming to Canada
                Indeed, Coach Ramsay and other insiders (on the Montreal boxing scene) have been saying that Beterbiev has been very much in demand in Russia to attend different events, promos, etc. He's still based off in MTL but has been travelling a bit more to Russia the past few years.

                  I agree unifying the division before moving and then if he's capable it would be cool to see how he fairs at cruiserweight

                    Heavyweight in ams is under 91 kg which is under 200 lbs which is cruiserweight division in pros
                    After Beterbiev (-81kg LHW) and Egor Mekhontsev (-91kg CW) became both European and World champs in 2009 and 2010 new trainer decided to switch them favoring Mekhontsev to win a medal in future Worlds 2011 and Olympics 2012 at LHW, because he knew that Usyk was coming. And because of the favoritism and because Beterbiev was that good that could compete with cruisers Mekhontsev won his bronze in 2011 and gold in 2012 fighting smaller guys and Beterbiev bumped into Usyk

                      Clenero won't dare to fight Beterbiev. And the fight won't be scripted like the Kovalev so called "fight". Kovalev is a sell out but he did need that money for his court cases. Kovalev with his pity pat jabs and hardly threw any rights, I've never seen Kovalev fight like that lol.
