    Who could beat Beterbiev?

    What LHWs, past or present, would have a good chance at beating Beterbiev?

    To me he's in a similar position as Wlad was awhile back when he was on top. For Wlad I thought Fury could beat him but beyond Fury I couldn't pick anyone over him although at his age I wouldn't be surprised if someone upset him. I feel like I couldn't pick anyone over Beterbiev, but at his age I think his time is limited & someone is gonna take his spot in an upset few will predict.

      A bunch of past light heavyweights could beat him.

      Presently he should unify with Bivol already.

        Am I crazy for thinking Dawson would have a chance against Beterbiev, with his speed?

            More and more I'm starting to see Beterbiev as a Tavoris Cloud. Not sure he's anywhere near as good as some think.

            Time will tell I suppose

                In terms of present, I’d like to say Bivol but Bivol still looks small at the weight in my opinion. He looks like he’s more a natural 168, but getting by in the 175 division on pure ability. Bivol would be a monster at 168 I think, but sometimes I struggle to see how a guy who’s small at 175 deals with Beterbiev.

                That said, I think Bivol has the talent to outpoint him but I give it a 55-45 chance in favour of Beterbiev, for the above reasons.

                    Michael Spinks. He went 30 rounds with Larry Holmes so I doubt that Beterbiev will be able to hurt him enough to knock him down or out. Spinks would win a decision I think.
