    Who in the current crop of fighters from SMW to LHW has the best chance of beating Beterbiev?

    Time. Keep extending that Covid lockdown until all of the top fighters age out.

    Only Bivol and even them he would be a handy underdog

    Beterbiev is 35 so i would say he only has a couple of years left at this level.

    Father Time

    Motivation

    Laziness

    No one has the physical tools to deter him, keep him off or to put him down for a long count.

    I think Canelo beats him. Canelo is good enough defensively to avoid Bievs slower punches.

    not sure about that but would be great fight. I think Artur would be too big and strong but who knows, don't think Canelo would want to risk it do you?

    The only ones I give a realistic shot to are Bivol and Canelo but I would have Beterbiev as the considerable favorite

    Beterbiev is not a slow puncher. He is not a volume puncher but he hits hard enough to catch you.

    Bivol would rightfully be the underdog but he has a chance for sure. Bivol is an excellent all rounder who seems to have a good chin. It's just only Bivol at the moment that is a threat I would say.

    I honestly think he would beat everyone from 168-200 barring maybe Briedis and Dorticos.

    I actually believe Bivol would take him on points. Only thing that maybe tells me otherwise is does Bivol have the power to keep him off him or will Beterbiev have no respect for it and just walk through his shots to get to him?

    Bivol has already sparred him and gotten his ass beaten.

    Listen to any interview by Bivol about Beterbiev and there is a reason why he says "Beterbiev is the best fighter on the planet", the most "dangerous", "high risk, low reward" and does not seem enthusiastic about taking the fight.

    I personally think Beterbiev beats anybody at 168 - 175, and beats them by KO. Old father time will be the first to get the better of Beterbiev.

    Maybe, but this is not a shot Kov with no heart left that he's dealing with. It's an unbeaten KO monster.
