    I would favour Beterbiev over Ellis and Chuvalo.

    not sure about Bonavena. Bonavena was a solid 210 lbs with good power and durability. Beterbiev never tested himself vs cruisers . I think Bonavena probably beats him

    Hi Guys.
    For me, Chuvalo and Bonavena chase him out of the ring, also I give Ellis a better than even chance of landing his sneak right, and maybe flooring Beterbiev more than once, and on the end of a points win, slightly bemused that anyone would think he could clear up !
    stay safe guys, chat soon.
    Mike.

    Yes but in pros, there are serious question marks regarding how he can handle cruiser sized punchers.

    There are serious question marks regarding even his amateur career as a heavyweight. His best win at the weight turned out to be a sub 200-pound non-puncher.

    Beterbiev is extremely strong for his size and it would be interesting to see him against them, I think he would have a good chance.
