It's a new era at 175! rank the four light heavyweight champs right now!

1.gvozdyk 2.bivol 3.beterbiev 4.alvarez I think bivol will end up being the best out of the four when it's all said and done.

1. Gvozdyk
2. Bivol
3. Alvarez
4. Beterbiev

I think Gvozdyk would unify the titles if they all did a tournament. I don't know if his weaknesses fall into Bivol's strengths. I've always felt Beterbiev is slightly overrated. Alvarez is a sleeper it's possible the Kovalev fight gave him great confidence and he's live vs. the top two and a favorite over Beterbiev IMO.

I wish we had wssb at 175 but I don't think that will happen. I know gvozdyk is with arum and alvarez vs kovalev 2 will be on arum's network which is espn. Wasn't beterbiev supposed to have signed with arum? bivol is with duva who is now working with top rank. alvarez is a gaymon fight who never works with another promoter plus he hates arum I hope kovalev beats alvarez which removes all roadblocks!

Very true about Haymon. Main Events would almost certainly get Bivol-Kovalev together next year if Kovalev wins. I think Beterbiev was signed but then there was something in the contract so now he's on DAZN but I'd assume he may be easy enough to get into a unification.

I think there's a real chance there's one champion by the end of 2020.

I honestly see a 4 way tie right now. All have shown promise, all have shown limitations. I need to see these mfers start fighting each other. And now with the name guys out of the way if the WBSS did a Sept. 2019 to May 2020 175lb tournament I wouldn't be mad at that at all.

I actually feel like if these guys don't start fighting within the next 9 months that the WBSS tournament will be the perfect spot for them to start fighting each other.

I have The Nail and Alvarez tied for the top spot.


2. Bivol

3. Jack

4. Beterbiev

5. Kovalev


Don't sleep on Anthony Yarde and Marcus Brown tho!

[Mammoth]

Gvozdyk
Alvarez
Bivol
Beterbiev

Always had Gvozdyk ahead of the rest based on his Chilemba fight, he showed everything a champion needs to show.

Beterbiev is unproven in the pros.
Bivol got that mad HBO hype - at least GGG had a long run as champ.
Alvarez would beat Bivol right now, he is 60/40 to beat Beterbiev and 40/60 against Gvozdyk imo.

[Superbee]

1. Beterbiev
2. Gvozdyk
3. Alvarez
4. Bivol

[chrisJS]

Also we are forgetting Badou Jack who'd give them all problems IMO. I expect he'll fight Gvozdyk next year. I think Gvozdyk will win and that's the type of extra seasoning that will do him really well moving forward.
