Which of the top 10 at 175 does Artur Beterbiev beat?

Fonfara & Karpency are the ones I'd favor him to stop.

Chilemba, Oosthuizen, Storm Álvarez, Hopkins, Pascal, and Brähmer all have chins/defense that are just too solid, but he'd probably stand a good chance at outpointing the first 3-4 names there. Pascal though is a bad style for Beterbiev and might knock him out with a quick leaping hook, while Brähmer (and maybe Hopkins, depending on what he still brings after the morale-deflating Kovalev loss) could outbox him.

Kovalev outguns Beterbiev if they ever duel.

I do think he'd bash Stevenson, though.

 

I don't think Karpency belongs in the top 10, Biev beats him. Everyone else in the top 10 will be a good fight for Biev. I'd like to see a Chilemba/Fonfara fight before he goes for a major belt. I believe he's the only guy who has a shot at beating Kovalev in an all-out war.

 

Stevenson, Pascal, Hopkins, and Juergen will probably be sold short here on their chances but Beterbiev does seem a tough one to beat.

 

Why a Russian?

 

Now, all of them besides Kova with only Pascal giving him a very hard time.
in a couple of years, probably all of them.

 

I agree with you on that.

Me personally... I hope he picks on Bad Chad Dawson and somehow gets KTFO. That would strike my funny bone.

 

:yep:yep

 

Sergey is his biggest threat

 

Sergey UD beterbiev, but beterbiev beats the rest
