    Stacked resume for a LHW
    - Gvozdyk
    - undefeated Callum Johnson
    - Joe Smith Jr (world champion)
    - Marcus Browne

    This might not be record breaking but he's stopped everyone he's ever faced and gave Usyk trouble in the ametures despite the size difference. He has otherworldly punching power and he's like a miniature George Foreman who will pressure you, cut the ring off and pound you into a pulp. The only possible threat to his supremacy is Subzero Bivol. Beterbiev has yet to lose

    Beterbiev reins king of the division just like Bob Foster did in his time. He's on the same level as a prime Sergey Kovalev or Dariusz Michalczewski at LHW.

    There aren't many people I'd pick over him. Roy Jones Jr, Michael Spinks, thats about it

    Possibly but Kovalev had the better competition and his route was much harder. In fact as much as I dislike Kovalev as a person he opened the doors for many Soviet fighters. He had a better resume than Golovkin and Lomachenko and didn't get half the coverage. The guy got hosed on the business side.

    I think he spanks Jones Jr all he needs is to land one bomb on him and for all of Jones Jr speed and reflex he can't dodge em all
