    Looks like he might. He's like a heavyweight Beterbiev.

    I think he hits hard enough that it doesn't really matter.

    But we'll only know once he starts to fight/spar in the group. There might not be a lot of overlap between them (he'll never spar Haye, for example) but sooner or later someone is going to start saying the type of things they say about Wilder - or not.

    Wicked uppercut. Wouldn't want to be hit with that.

    I think Arslanbek is the best natural puncher since George Foreman. He's got a pretty good chin too. Does hit hit harder than Wilder? I don't think Fury could take his Arslanbek's best, does that answer the question.

    Wilder is a big hitter, but he failed to stop any top ten guy in his prime.

    According to Jason Bergman, who has also sparred Tyson Fury's 2 x surrogate son Bootleg D, Makhmudov is the hardest puncher he's ever shared a ring with.

    'How would you like to know if Arslanbek Makhmudov is so strong?

    Last night, at the Casino, Makhmudov terrified and knocked out his opponent.

    But here we are talking about Jason Bergman. It was his 45th fight. Not to mention dozens of rounds against Deontay Wylder, Oscar Rivas or Tyson Fury.

    In other words, mileage in the body.

    Bergman was shot down in two minutes. Pif, paf, boom.


    I found it in a corner of the Casino that served as a locker room for blue boxers. He was receiving his pay check from a board member.

    He was kind and affable and I asked all the questions that came to mind:

    "His strength is really special. He knocks hard and heavy. It is obvious that he still lacks experience and that he strikes when opening. But it's the guy who hits the hardest I've faced, "he said.

    Wow! Minute.

    Bergman made eight rounds against Joseph Parker, he worked with Deontay Wilder: "Wilder's right is faster, more accurate. But it's less strong than that big Russian. It's not a joke, it's not an exaggeration, "he added.

    With Rivas

    Bergman, who spent a few weeks working in sparring with Oscar Rivas, was still impressed. Short question, long answer. Genre:

    - Can Quebec fans ever hope for Makhmudov in the world's elite?

    - Definitely yes. He still has to learn, to shorten his strokes, but it is a force of nature. No doubt. It's an experience to face it, even after 44 fights.'

    Hard to tell with those opponents,my guess he’s not really being managed right in Canada and should have better skills by now because he looks the same in every fight and more fights under him should have been happening by now ,he’s moving to slow . Other top guys would avoid that power he’s far to telegraphing and just bulls guys down that won’t work once he steps up using those tactics.

    Interesting fighter though ,I hope he makes it to these guys they talk about but he also offered Wilder 20 million to fight him but Sam Peter doesn’t get you there .

    I'd like to watch him fight Martin Bakole. I think Bakole will KO Makhmudov

    The only things he has common with Beterbiev are power and aggression. Beterbiev has more skills in his toe than Makhmodv can ever dream of. Beterbiev is the best in current boxing in cutting the ring off while Makhmudov has big problems with guys who can move.

    Yes as was shown against Johnathan Rice. Yes he was winning every round and Rice was afraid to engage, but Makhmudiv could barely land clean for most of the fight.

    His brute strength is obvious, might not be a stretch to call him the heaviest 2 handed puncher in the heavyweights today. I think he'd have ko'ed Kownacki and Helenius last night. He's still green around the gills but power is a tool that can cover a lot of flaws,, just ask Wilder

    I think Arslanbek is the kind of beast that can knock anyone out much like Wilder. I've heard good things about his chin and although sometimes a bit slow and ponderous, once he gets going he is able to use his decent skills and immense power to crush anyone. He's no wild ass Wilder anyway. Throws his punches nice and correctly and always has done so.
