Beterbiev one day will become World Champion

Plenty of times.

 

Well i am not one of those guys. I am in awe of Loma and Usyk. Golovkin has had an amazing run and i picked Postol over Crawford.

 

I'm pm'ing you footage of Beterbiev vs Usyk. You'll easily see that Beterbiev has a world-class inside game.

He does have some defensive lapses though.

 

I wonder why he hasn't shown any of it in the pro ranks. Is it the inactivity?
And he looked a lot lighter on his feet.

 

At this stage his career is a bust, a KO waiting to happen. Ward, Kovalev, Gvozdyk, Stevenson all whoop him. Id even favor up and comers like Bivol and Yarde over him. The guy is just too reckless with no jab and zero defense to speak of.

 

Beterbiev IS slow on his feet, and he DOES have bad defense.

I really don't see anything special in Beterbiev. He's lucky he hasn't fought a puncher in the pros yet, or he'd be on the canvas.

 

@Badbot

It's the first fight here - Beterbiev beat Usyk up and won this fight but got robbed. I've seen this fight about 3 or 4 times, have Beterbiev winning every time:

Edit: He has actually become more of a mauler now.
The bodyshot Beterbiev landed wasn't actually low as wrongly stated by ref. Usyk was in pain and needed a standing 8 count.

 

You used to call Abdusalamov a "mongoloid" when he fought you piece of trash! Now you are compliment him to disguise the sheer insanity of one of your dumb remarks that someone exposed to this board and will continue to do so.

 

I was waiting for "Caveman, Neanderthal and low ring I.Q."!

 

First time I saw Beterbiev was at the 2012 olympics where he got a gift against Michael Hunter who Usyk clearly beat in the pros. No way Beterbiev beats Usyk in the pro ranks.

Yeah I think Michael Hunter beat Beterbiev, too. I think Beterbiev had an off night, he looked awful.
If they had pro gloves on at least that night in 2012, Beterbiev would've KO'd Usyk.
I sound biased with my avatar but hey..I'm a big fan of Usyk.

 

Well, to be fair I think Usyk also had an off night facing Beterbiev at the 2012 Olympics.

 

But he DOES have inside game, and that was the point. That is some stereotype that is pushed by Virgil Hunter and his minions that EE fighters lack inside game.

 

Gvozdyk has been getting a ton of love on here of late

Out of Kovalev, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk, who do you think is the best?
