    he might beat the people on that list. he hits hard and good stamina to keep the pressure up for 12 rounds.

    I’d like to think he does well, but we really need to see how he handles a heavyweight punch. The only sure thing on there is beating Patterson.

    He may beat them all
    however, are they allowed the same "supplements"?

    Might change then

    Very child like, Floyd Patterson beat Ingemar Johannson twice , 1ST man to regain the title, he also beat
    Eddie Machen
    George Chuvalo
    Oscar Bonavena
    Archie Moore
    and a Draw with Quarry

    Who's Beterbiev beaten ? Callum Smith? Yarde?

    Has Beterbiev ever beat a 200 plus pound guy as a pro? Wait he hasn't lol.

    Jerry Quarry beat numerous 200 plus pound heavyweights. Jerry Quarry smashes Beterbiev

    Cleveland Williams = heavyweight. Cleveland Williams smashes Beterbiev

    Ernie Shavers = heavyweight. Ernie Wiliams smashes Beterbiev

    Even at 175 who has Beterbiev beat that anybody would consider a all time great.

    I know recency bias is a powerful thing but I do believe Beterbiev would beat everyone on your list.

    Think he would lose to Patterson, Shavers, Quarry, ...and since Marciano and Dempsey were mentioned. Marciano absolutely...Dempsey also. so almost all of them.

    Marciano could barely beat 170-180 pound Ted Lowry for crying out loud.

    He wouldn't last 2 rounds with Earnie Shavers.

    All the others beat him as well.

    As will Bivol.

    never heard of Ted Lowry...so ok. Lowry fought an exhibition bout with Joe Louis in which he held his own. Lowry also fought Archie Moore and this was said to be Rocky's first big fight against a highly skilled fighter. Lowry stung Rocky in the fourth and backed off in the fifth. It went to a decision....and this means what....not jack. he beat 49 in total. He would ko Beterbiev....he would walk a mud hole in his ass and walk it dry.
    Rocky weighed 183 to 189 pounds.

    Rocky would walk through most guys at the weight.

    Every single one of them beats Beterbiev; Earnie, Cleveland and Floyd likely win by knockout, although Jersey Joe and Quarry possibly could as well. I don't think Machen would win by ko but would win.
