    Lots of not so impressive opponents went past 2 with Shavers why shouldn't Beterbiev as well.
    Cant imagine how you have him losing to Machen. Johansson and Folley beat Machen but not Beterbiev?

    Walcott, Shavers, Quarry all beat the **** out of Beterbiev. Are you kidding? The other three probably beat him as well.

    Biev beats them all and convincingly. Too skilled and powerful for these cruisers (which is what they really were if we're honest and is what Biev walks into the ring at).

    He obviously loses to all of them

    Unless this thread is meant to spot who has no clue about boxing, I dont get the point of it.

    Let's see him against Bivol first before determining what his historical standing is

    So what, if he wins to bivol? He is a light heavyweight whose boxing relies on being the stronger man, going forward and exchanging. All those men in this list are well proven HW champions bigger and stronger than him. He stands no chance, I just don't get the point of this thread. What's next? would bivol beat Ali?

    If he beats Bivol he proves himself the absolute best of his generation which is all anyone can do.

    Give Beterbiev about three years to properly grow into that division with diet and resistance training kind of like how Usyk did… I think he’d surprise a lot of people. Now put him on the same supplementation as Evan Fields or Joshua was put on after the Olympics too… He’s going through all those guys fairly easy. Lol

    Proof that Joshay is juicing and Beterbiev is clean?
    One of them produced a very dodgy sample early this year and it wasn't Aj

    Nobody at CW and HW moves like Bivol, you stay still for couple of seconds and he will hurt you badly.

    Do all the Beterbiev fanboys believe he has these magical superpowers or is it just the really extreme ones
