    Beterbiev’s kinda white so Gene would’ve probably fought him, how does that go?

    Tunney can do em all,while Beterbiev arguably beats Bivol Tunney may be a bit different,so good only a prime Greb could grab his ass and throw it to the pigs.

    At first I thought it said Tunney vs Butterbean.

    I might make Tunney a marginal favorite over Beterbievs.

    I think he gets annihilated against butterbean

    Very good match, imagine seeing it, would be god-damn vicious that's for sure, and it's going to the god-damn cards, that's for sure.

    I'm not sure that Tunney is quite cute enough to keep Beterbiev off of him the whole match. I'd love to have a confirmed fight night weight for Artur so we know exactly how they stack up.

    Tunney would never fight a Muslim.

    Tunney thrashes him, he's a level above Bivol

    Beterbiev was 39 when he fought Bivol, how about a prime version of Beterbiev v Tunney?

    Bivol fought a perfect fight and barely kept the dude off him. Bivol threw a lot of hard rights and strong left hooks. Depends. Could Tunney do the same?

    I think peak Beterbiev from the Gvozdyk fight breaks him down and wins a UD after scoring a knockdown.

    Well wasn't the prime version of Beterbiev an amateur? How could you match him with Tunney as a seasoned pro.

    I’d say the Gvodzyk fight is prime Beterbiev.

    That's actually quite simple. If Tunney can outlast Dempsey in two fights then he will definitely
    come through against Beterbiev and most likely win by UD.
