    Beterbiev. Hes an ATG that beats even the greatest of Heavies.

    Beterbiev would launch Lummoxs head into the upper decks at Wembley before his body touched the canvas

    Fighters aren`t punching harder now than they did in the 90`s and light heavies haven`t started punching like heavyweights, I don`t even think Beterbiev has Marciano`s power, I don`t think he has Louis`s power and he certainly doesn`t have Louis`s reflexes.

    There'd be two fights.

    In both, Artur manhandles Lewis all round the ring due to his deceptive size advantage. He then McCall's him in the first fight and Rahman's him the 2nd, retiring the over rated bum that is Lennox Lewis.

    Light heavies of this era smash 80's and 90's Heavyweights. It's all to do with modern training techniques and better diets.

    Anyone who thinks differently please remove the rose tinted glasses and stop livin' in the feckin' past. 2021 is where it's at.

    Nah man, I like Beterbiev but he's too small and doesn't have the right style to give Lewis the L. Sure, he may have a few good rounds but those rounds will come at a big cost. Lewis will nail him coming in and will pepper him with the jab. I think this fight illustrates the concept.

    I reckon Beterbiev might beat a green version of Lewis who had more holes to exploit. Maybe the Billups version.

    But a prime Lewis will stop him, count on it.

    Agreed. Beterbiev has a decent chance against the Lewis from his first few pro fights...








    Does Beterbiev even beat Levi Billups ? The dude is a LHW bruh

    Man I dunno. I think he might. Then again Billups was rough and tough and could soak it up. I'll say yes, cautiously.

    Absolute truth there mate.

    A Heavy from the 50's and 60's would barely be a Welter these days. So going of my arbitary subjective and based on nothing calculations a 90's Lewis is about the same as Caleb "Sweet Hands" Plant. So you are correct.

    Lewis would struggle to clear out the Super Middle division unlike Canelo. Ergo Canelo smashes the overrated Lewis to pieces.


    FACTS!!!
