    How would Beterbiev do if he fought the current heavyweights - Zhang, Joyce, Parker, Ruiz etc. Everyone says how tough he is and there is sparring stories of him getting the better of heavy’s.
    What we sayin?

    He is to small, only chance if he is next Usyk, question is does he have power and chin to rumble with heavyweights.

    Zhang Joyce, Hrgovic - he is outclassed, they are bigger (all 198+cm) heavy, great chin, great tehnique.

    Usyk - 50/50, I think they already fought.

    Fury - he has a chance against fake champ

    Wilder - I dont think so, he is powerfull

    Parker, Ruiz - 50/50

    It is Aphex Twin style.

    As an amateur, Beterbiev also beat Usyk. Won once and lost twice, if I'm not mistaken.

    Well, it looks like Aphex Twin-influenced, but by saying it I don't bring anything negative, don't get me wrong.

    To the topic: at some other times, Artur could be a heavyweight (currently, he must try the cruiser division at least). But at present, he's too old to change stylistically so he can adapt to the size of the guys that are close/slightly above 2 m. in heigh.

    He is a lot smaller obviously but just seeing him in there versus one guy after another sure would be exciting & knowing him he would have his fare share of hurting/dropping or even stopping a few along the way but probably not the top echelon.

    He won’t have the balls to move up in weight and test himself

    As annoying as Fury is a come forward power puncher giving up huge weight to him is meat and drink. Fury beats him up.
    He might have a go but to compete against the giants you need something different. Coming forward throwing a lot of punches isn't going to cut it against that can soak it up and dish it out.
    I think he looses to almost all the top 10. Parker might be interesting and he can be so hesitant to let his hands go. Ruiz out points him.
