Artur Beterbiev vs....

James Scott
Jesse Burnett
Yaqui Lopez
Marvin Johnson
John Conteh
Eddie Mustafa
Victor Galindez
Saad Muhammad
Dwight Qawi
Michael Spinks

How does he do?

 

Doesn't fight them because he never has been a litheavyweight. Can't compare eras the last 25 yrs to the first 120 yrs. They do not fight in their weight class.

 

He's smaller than Conteh, and cuts down less than Qawi and Galindez.

 

Really? 4 hrs before the fight does he? I doubt it.

 

In the amateurs Artur grew into HW I don’t think the same can be said of any of these others from memory.

 

Murderers row lol @George Crowcroft
He probably beats...
Yaqui Lopez
Eddie Mustafa
James Scott
Jesse Burnett

Not gonna lie, he could easily lose to most of these guys at their peak form.

 

Qawi used to train down from 190. Beterbiev does from 185. Same with Galindez.

 

Honestly, I think Eddie MM from Pops I beats the **** outta him.

 

Conteh fought the first 10-15 fights as a HW. IIRC, he was actually seen as a possible opponent for Ali if he stayed there.

 

No doubt. Eddie wasn't consistent enough.

 

Interesting I actually didn’t know that I need to read up more on the LHW scene honestly.

 

Exactly. People have gone completely ridiculous about this weigh-in thing.

 

And many times the weigh ins were 4-5 hrs before the fight. Could Biev do THAT? No way.

 

He is not a ltheavy. No fighter is (except heavy) what they r saying their weight class is
