I don't know about his natural weight or how much he's cutting to make LHW. Do you guys think he can move up to CW or even HW and be successful?

Can Artur Beterbiev move up to the HW division and be a threat??

I think Beterbiev is the best pfp boxer in the world. But going to cruiserweight is a 25 pound jump and going to heavyweight these days is a jump of 50 pounds and often much more so I don't think he can do that. He is an attacking fighter who goes to war so he gets hit flush sometimes. A light heavyweight dropped him but he got up to win without difficulty. But if he was hit with a big punch by a hard punching heavyweight then he would be KOed.

He might be able to beat the cruiserweight champions. That's a maybe but no sure thing. He can't beat Fury or AJ because he is too small. He is a great puncher for a light heavyweight but his power would not be anything special at heavyweight.

No. If he fought the right opponents similar to Tony Bellew then he could probably end up having a title. But to be a legit threat overall, I just don't see it. Too much size he would be giving up.
Cruiserweights are basically smaller heavyweights on a diet.
