    Jeff Page sat him down on his butt and Callum Johnson dropped and he was very dazed. He will have big trouble against a tough, boxer puncher,

    He fights in the Lightheavyweight divison. These are big dudes. It's not like the Featherweight division where a big puncher might be able to knock you down if he lands clean.

    The division is filled with big, powerful men who when they land clean have incredible and amazing destructive power. Beterbiev shows good chin getting back up and recovering.

    Kind of a funny statement there considering he just knocked out one of the top 3-5 boxer-punchers in the world in his last fight.

    Johnson is a big puncher. Not sure what being dropped by him says other than that Callum can punch.

    I don't know if he has a bad chin, but he certainly leaves it out there to be tested.

    I hope you mean at LtHW, because if you don't, just no.

    This is boxing. There is going to be a fighter that can take his shots and he's not ironed chinned. He's a ko waiting to happen. Although not a great boxer, I think Joe Smith Jr. decapitates him.

    Smith Jr. in my opinion is the hardest puncher p4p in the sport, but Beterbiev is far too skilled for him. And will easily outbox and KO him.

    The KD against Jeff Page Jr. was a balance issue IMO. Page shoved him and then followed up immediately with a sneaky shot while Artur's feet were out of position and his weight wasn't distributed evenly.

    Kovalev has been stopped and dropped numerous times

    Gvozdyk has been dropped officially x 1 and unofficially x 2

    Marcus Browne was dropped against Hot Rod, hurt badly by him on 1 or 2 other occasions, and would've been KTFO if the ref didn't allow him to octopus grab Hot Rod to death all night. Browne was also dropped by Lenin Castillo and bounced up and down off the canvas like a yo-yo by Pascal.

    Alvarez was KO'd in the amateurs and Prieto hurt him numerous times in their fight, including badly in round 6

    Callum Johnson has been dropped x 2 and stopped (by Beterbiev)

    Yarde was knocked out by a Kovalev who isn't hitting anywhere as hard as he used to

    Badou Jack has been KO'd in a round and dropped numerous times

    Chilemba has been dropped x 3

    Sullivan Barrera has been knocked out by Bivol and dropped about 7 or 8 times IIRC

    Bivol has never been down but was hurt by Joe Smith Jr right on the bell

    Joe Smith Jr. has never been down AFAIA but was hurt by Bivol

    Even Pascal who is titanium-jawed has been badly hurt, dropped a few times and stopped

    LHW has been a division of killers in recent years and some of the biggest punchers in all of boxing and Artur, Johnson, and Joe Smith all carry serious digs and Gvozdyk, Hot Rod, Browne, Alvarez, Bivol, Buatsi, and Yarde can all punch to varying degrees. Obviously prime Kovalev and Adonis were absolutely murderous punchers but they're both done now.

    No shame in getting dropped by Johnson he has extremely heavy hands and it's not like he didn't catch Artur with plenty of other big shots too. One of the punchers Monaghan has shared a ring with in sparring is Beterbiev.

    Who would have thought that men who are pushing 190 pounds in the ring and carved out of stone and dedicate their lives to punching as hard as possible can punch really damn hard????
