    Beterbiev gave GOAT cruiser and unifed heavyweight champ Usyk a hard fight. Lewis was chinny and got slept by Mccall and Rahman and Beterbiev is a hard puncher. Beterbiev could spark him out

    Who takes it

    Lewis easily finishes him off before round 5.

    Excellent analysis. Beterbiev is game in the 90s heavyweight division. His chin, skills, and power are too good for guys like Ruddock, Foreman, Morrison, Holyfield, Moorer, Tyson, etc.

    Imagine Beterbiev vs Tua. It would be a 12 round WAR

    No light heavy could ever knock out Lewis and he improved vastly after the McCall loss, Beterbiev has never proven he can deal with an 84 inch reach, he`d be destroyed.

    Beterbiev isn`t very athletic and got completely out-boxed by Usyk in the amateurs.

    Beterbiev is athletic. Power is an aspect of athleticism.

    This is an example of the fabled dry British sense of humor, I take it?
