All hail the king

I haven't checked any p4p list in a while (figure it's still Crawford, Usyk, Inoue in any order).

Does Beterbiev's performance push him close to the top three across boxing?

 

I get that but Beterbiev closing off the ring the way he did tonight would surely cause a lot of problems to any of those three

 

There's only the boxers available in front of them to beat. Inoue has quite readily dispatched of most opponents in his way. I'd say that Donaire is his biggest scalp but I have no question as to whether he'd fight anyone in his way. He's true class when it comes to fighting the best opposition, most best boxers are or at least the ones I respect the most

 

Surely anyone that has even the slightest of contempt for Canelo's opponent choices wouldn't wish him the hurt of getting into the ring with Beterbiev

 

Canelo will probably now say that Bivol isn't worth the rematch now that he's lost and will instead fight a three legged donkey. Beterbiev would absolutely destroy Canelo. Even just on weight. Canelo has one of the best chins in boxing but that many pounds of pressure alone would surely crumple him. I think Bivol could've dropped Canelo if he went for it. I'd still rather rather see Beterbiev v Bivol 2. I don't think that Canelo has the heart for big exchanges anymore but would love to be proven wrong.

 

P4p is pretty much a simulation though? Assessing styles and pondering how they'd react against each other's? Other than that you just beat the person in front of you and that's the best you can do

 

I'm **** with tech so apologies for not replying to them individually.

Absolutely get that Beterbiev's and Canelo's styles could result in an absolute storm. I stand by it though, Bivol had Canelo worn well before the end of the fight, well done to Canelo for stepping up to the challenge but Beterbiev at LHW isn't Bivol. Canelo would probably be sucking canvas.
