    Gvozdyk would have given GGG ISSUES in his prime. GGG only really had good body shots against stationary targets. Like when he cracked Macklin with a left hook to the body. Beterbiev will get you to the body whenever he wants. IMO Beterbiev was better than GGG ever was, but GGG does have the faaaaar superior chin. So H2H I could see GGG beating Beterbiev p4p, but Beterbiev is overall the superior talent imo.

    Beterbiev is too big. They both are equally powerful for their size but GGG is a bit more technically sound. Beterbiev I think has more natural power but doesn't deliver it as effectively as GGG.

    Beterbiev punches way faster than GGG.

    GGGs flaw are his legs, and head movement
    You need to those to evade beterbiev power shots if beterbiev can catch. Gvozdyk a mover. then he can definitely catch ggg and stop him .

    However. Golovkin has a weapon for Beterbiev that's his jab
    Golovkins jab is so stiff and precise it keeps him in the fight often and keeps his opponents back .

    No obviously Beterbiev is too big. I'm talking p4p. If they were the same size.

    Just to make it clear, I'm saying if they were the same size. I could see GGG being Beterbiev's worst match up just because of his chin. But imo Beterbiev would have knocked Jacobs out in like 9 rounds and wouldn't have arguably lost like GGG did if Beterbiev was a MW.

    If they didn't have to fight at an unnatural weight I think GGG is the more talented fighter. But I think Beterbiev is a freak in terms of natural power. But clearly he does not see the angles that GGG does, lacks the creativity to land punches but due to his power he hasn't had to. He just breaks guys down. GGG is not as powerful.

    Same size? Golovkin.
    Reality? Beterbiev.

    I meant if they were the same size. I really should have made this blatant.
