    I would enjoy watching a Canelo - Beterbiev fight.

    i think they both get beat up. arthur is too easy to hit for a guy with canelos timing and speed, and canelo is gonna get hurt on every spot he gets hit. i would love to see how each one deals with the problems the other poses.

    My argument was that Smith Jr is a bigger one punch KO artist but Beterbiev has that thudding power and uses some nasty stuff like elbows and forearms when he has his opponents hurt and he breaks you down with that. If you actually watch Beterbiev fights you'll see that he doesn't knock those guys out clean and cold. He breaks them down and most of those guys are taking a knee and don't get up after KDs because they can't take all that pressure anymore. There are different types of power and funny enough that Mickey Bey even talks about that in the video you just posted above lol

    It's simple. Beat Bivol. I want the same from Bivol. Beat Beterbiev. We have two great champions.

    Beterbiev was older than Kovalev here

    Yarde got better

    Different context

    I suppose someone can say that, I dont see it though. Past it Pascal went 8, super middle Ward went 12 (before grinding Kova down late in a rematch), and a completely shot Hopkins went the distance, but Kova is going to stop a rampaging Beterbiev while he's on the back foot? Eh I don't see it.


    The guy wasn't hard enough to withstand Ward, low blows or not, he doesn't have much chance against Beterbiev.

    I rate Kova quite highly, but it's a bad matchup for him.

    Big money fight but the undisputed has to be the more tempting fight for legacy.

    Yes, but still... he was gassing late, never looked himself from the outset.

    We really need Beterbiev vs Bivol - two of the best p4p right now. Bivol is clearly getting overrated after beating Clenelo, AB is getting older and showed chinks in his armour tonight.

    I think AB knocks Bivol out, unless they wait another few years to fight.

    Honestly. Yarde should have been given 5 minutes for that back of the head shot. Rules guys, they exist

    Nah you're overrating Kova by quite a bit.
