    Bivol is the best technical boxer at 175 but Beterbiev is #1. I like Joe Smith who is sort of the dark horse at 175 but if you want to be considered top dog you have to beat Beterbiev. He is the new Krusher, the new boogeyman.

      Solid resume as I said, good fighter but beatable!

      He throws the same combos over 12 rounds and if you can time him or cut the ring off on him attack his body you can win!

      He’s gotten by partially cuz he’s quicker and faster than majority of light heavyweights!

      Hopefully we see Beterbiev vs Bivol before Artur’s age catches up or his body fully breaks down on him!

      Also Joe Smith should be champion after that performance vs the heralded Eleider Alvarez, not sure why Smith has to wait around for 2 unknown Russians who have visa issues and having their fight keep getting pushed back!

      I’m not a fan of guys who are on a hot streak or got momentum and then take a lot of time off, you’d like to see them continue with that!

          He was badly buzzed. He couldn’t walk straight when he got up.

          No shame in that though, Callum Johnson can crack. If anybody gets caught flush by him, they will feel it.

            Canelo would never fight Bivol.

                Bivol and Beterbiev should fight already.

                Let's see who the best 175 lber is.

                  Joe definitely very humble. Hopefully an undisputed fight at 175 happens next year.

                    CAnelo Vs Bibol ??? You gotta be kidding. CAnelo will avoid Bivol like the plague at either 175 or 168

                      Bivol thrives on distance management and his stellar guard which seems almost impenetrable.
                      Joe Smith should indeed just be given the title and have Vlasov and Salamov fight for a mandatory position.
