    Yes he is. Glancing shots that have opponents running for cover, 6 inch left hooks that drop guys , he folded Callum Johnson’s head over his shoulders with a straight right , no loading up just a regular punch. Devastating power.

    Beterbiev will get to the Hall Of Fame once he continues fighting more often against the best out there, and there are plenty. This is provided he does not get the contagious Tyson Fury virus, which entails every excuse not to fight.

    Can you name a fight in which he actually weighed anywhere close to 175 at fight time? If no then he was never really a ltheavy.

    You don’t get to be called an ATG anything when you’ve got 16 fights and you’re fighting guys with 17 or 20 fights.

    Well you could be an ATG preliminary fighter I guess, whatever that means.
