    Prime Beterbiev just doesn’t cut weight and fights Frazier at whatever his best weight is, I’d guess around 195lbs or so, could he find the devastating uppercut?
    Who wins this matchup?

    Beterbiev would kill Frazier after Joe is done making 175lb.

    Never seen enough overall of Beterbiev but can he fight on the back foot?
    Because he will have to in this encounter.

    This would be Frazier's second best win if he managed to pull it off.

    I don't think Bonavena would have even fights against Usyk.

    Fraizer knocks him out Beterbiev got dropped like a sack of potatoes by Callum Johnson with one left hook and got up on shaky legs.

    If Frazier hits Beterbiev with the same left hook he isn't recovering Frazier by KO.

    Not true Bob Foster is historically greater than Beterbiev even though I may not agree with it.

    Yes Foster has no resume at Heavyweight but neither does Beterbiev so it's all speculation how well Beterbiev does vs elite fighters over 200 pounds.

    Bivol is a very good name but he's not a big guy he's basically a natural Light Heavyweight who's probably a bit on the smaller side at the weightclass. And Beterbiev beating Bivol has no revelance on how Beterbiev does vs 200+ pound fighters.

    Foster isn’t historically greater than Beterbiev since last night and he’d already lost several fights before Frazier. It’s day before weigh ins now and Beterbiev was fighting Usyk in the ams. There’s no reason to think he’d flop at 200 which wouldn’t be much higher than his fighting weight.

    Has Beterbiev ever been stopped in the 300+ fights he’s had?
