    Who ever slept Burley? Bivins on his ATG run is much, much more proven than Beterbeiv and beat better fighters. Moore's chin is suspect? How? And what relevance does those two being at heavyweight make? They'd still pummel Beterbeiv.

    Sure, that much I agree on. Beterbiev isn't just some crude brawler either, the man can box. The tests thrown his way he passed well.

    Beterbiev is an ATG in his own right and will prove/cement it in following fights when he fully unifies the LHW division before moving up to CW and doing the same.

    ATG my ass

    He's a heavyweight that has boiled himself down to 175 and is already 37 years old this fantasy of yours wouldn't be very impressive even if it all came true

    35* Why does Beterbiev threaten you so much? And yeah if he unifies 175 and CW he's an ATG at both weights. Only a fool would say otherwise.

    You stated he's an ATG now

    In what way could I be threatened by someone who has nothing to do with me?

    a 35 year old natural heavyweight unifying lhw/cw is not greatness. Everything he's doing at LHW right now is meaningless imo he was fighting Michael Hunter and usyk at 200+ pounds 8 years ago what in the hell is he doing at 175 at 35?

    You're putting him down with false statements. Yep. You are definitely threatened by him lol.

    Plenty of guys who cut to the Light Heavy past and present. What make Beterbiev any different? Also he wouldn't be anywhere near the biggest at CW(do you even follow the division?)

    He completed as HW in the 2012 Olympics which literally is the amateur equivalent to CW. Good job exposing yourself as a casual. :lol:

    He fought at 200+ in 2012 and you think he's great for beating up on 175 pound men now? How?

    He hasn't fought a single fight at his natural weight yet Your fantasy about him unfiying the light heavyweight division would be no more impressive than Terence Crawford unifying 140 at this point. Maybe even less so.

    If beterbiev was American you'd be calling him a weight bully/fraud and you know it

    Beterbiev fought the bulk of his amateur career as a LHW. He went up to HW(CW) at the tail end of it. Even then your argument is rendered moot by the fact that a ton of fighters at LHW cut weight. Many have even been bigger than than Beterbiev. Like Bellew, Vlasov or Fonfara just to name a few. Many LHWs have jumped up to CW and filled out well. Beterbievs top competitors aren't dwarfed by him either. Unless you think him to be significantly larger than Bivol or Gvozdyk. Hell. Even the likes of Kalajdzic and Campillo were arguably bigger than him. Your argument that he's a weight bully simply isn't adding as LHW is full of guys his size or larger.


    Also.If you really want to get anal with me calling him an ATG. I even said in that post that he was going to prove and cement it in following fights.


    You should quit while you're ahead man
    You've already made a total fool out of yourself by not knowing the difference between Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight in amateur boxing.

    And there it is! You revealing your hand.

    Nope. You're the one calling him that not me. And I already pointed out the fact that there are plenty of other Light Heavyweights his size or larger.

    Yeah plenty have, none of them are great. At this point him unifying anything at all is a fantasy but if he did manage to unfiy 175 it is no more impressive than Crawford unifying 140. No more impressive whatsoever. You can't even form an argument to the contrary

    Uhhhhhh. 175 is a much better division than 140 was when Crawford unified. Beterbiev also isn't a weight bully like you said. That was debunked in the above posts.

    Lol! Dummy... the fact Beterbiev even fought at HW in the ams and was as successful as he was makes it even more impressive. At least he FOUGHT at his walking weight! You think Crawford would EVER fight anyone at 175 his usual walking around weight??? You think Spence would??

    Exactly. And Beterbiev will move up and unify there next. Watch.
