    I've seen Gvozdyk before and was pretty impressed. Last night he was VERY impressive in taking apart Gonzalez who 'Lazcano' rated in his top 3 PFP boxers in the world.

    I'm giving a slight edge to Gvozdyk if this fight were to happen in the coming months. He looked damn sharp!

    Gvozdyk is good but not sure how he can handle that division i mean its weird,Kovalev is his friend so he wont fight him,then ...Stevenson wont fight a live body ever,noone wants to fight Beterbiev but Kovalev-bad blood between those two.

    Also Ward in the mix somehow...he wont fight Beterbiev or Gvozdyk for next to no money i guess.

    Overall i think Beterbiev overpowers Gvozdyk due to having way better chin.

    Rather wanna see Gvozdyk vs Sullivan Barrera next,that one should be easier to make and Gvozdyk wins most likely unless he gets caught.

    Neither should fight until at least one wins a belt, it would be a waste, too much talent and destructive power here

    Huge fan of both of them. Gvozdyk certainly has the movement, hand speed, combination punching/punch arsenal, boxing ability and power to cause anyone major problems. And I think he would cause them for Beterbiev too. But Beterbiev can punch holes in castle walls with that power of his and he can take out anyone. Would be a really intriguing match up.

    Gvozdyk is the best pure technical boxer at 175 and Beterbiev the most powerful imo.

    My head says Gvozdyk and whilst he is better technically I wonder about his inside game.

    50/50 fight between 2 top 3 175lb fighters.

    BTW, their paths did cross in the amateurs and Beterbiev broke Gvozdyk's nose and forced him to retire in his corner. Gvozdyk has no doubt improved considerably since then, but it's still a really impressive scalp and result to have on your CV.

    Who is the best name on Beterbiev's resume?

    Cloud which was and still is a good scalp for a guy very early in his career

    Will be Stevenson or Ward if Ol' Andre doesn't retire after getting starched by Sergey in September.

    Well this is one way to choose fighters to support. it is just Beterbiev might go full jihad on G and literally "bomb" him out of the ring.

    BETTERbieve is so powerful, anybody can get overwhelmed by his glory. The siZe of his fists and knuckles are marvelous, anybody that has ever gazed at or touched the fist is blessed.

    Gvozdyk is more proven, so I go with him.

    Most seem to think it's a 50/50 fight, always go with the guy who's a better boxer. Gvodzyk
