    So many noobs here. Beterbiev has an exceptional amateur career. He lost to an atg in usyk.
    He has terrific power, great stamina, great skills, awesome footwork and a pressure fighter en excellence, with godly strength.

    Sounds like ggg, just bigger. Ggg has also a terrific chin, the only thing beterbiev is missing.

    Sanchez said himself, that both guys are physically incredible strong and it's a 50/50 fight.

    Imo the bigger wins probably. Especially right now. But a prime ggg at the age of 32 and a prime beterviev (we don't know when his prime was or is to be, I think it's already over) I would go with ggg by bodyshot ko

    Golovkin is a poor man’s Beterbiev. Beterbiev is the beast Golovkin fans pretended he was. Deverychenko had Golovkin reeling from a body punch, what do you think Beterbiev’s body punches that dropped Usyk twice and made Gvozdyk call a time out are going to do to him? Golovkin also can’t fight being backed up and pressured. Golovkin gets wiped out and easily even if they’re the same size. A complete mismatch.

    You sound like a noob. When has Beterbiev been knocked out? He fought in the heavyweight division and was never stopped, then Golovkin fans get excited because he sparred a heavyweight and you think GGG could stop a guy who has never been hurt by a bodyshot, with a bodyshot? When has Golovkin even been such a devastating body puncher? I can only think of that British guy who was scared of him and covering up to blind himself, and gave him space to punch. If anyone thinks this is a 50/50 fight they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.

    Beterbiev is a skilled fighter. But his dominance at 175lbs is also affected by the fact he is a huge 175lber. He fought at heavyweight at the Olympics. This is weight bully territory. His physicality is heightened by the fact he is a massive 175lber.

    GGG has fought guys at his weight and dominated. It was only when he was on the slide past 35 that opponents decided to try and risk it. 8-4d 168lber clenboy 2 times. Dropped and won a clear decision against 190lbs Jacobs.

    I would bet that if Beterbiev beat Canelo like Bivol did, peoples votes would be in favor of Beterbiev.

    Or we have huge GGG fanbase here ?

    He weighed in at 185lbs in the amateurs when he was fighting at heavyweight, that would be less than his in ring weight today. Acting as if Beterbiev is a weight bully because of your guessing, good one.

    If he beat Canelo in a decision he would have underperformed dramatically. Canelo would have been leaving on a stretcher, that’s why Canelo tested the waters with the smaller and lighter punching, unaccomplished amateur, Bivol.

    Literally no one in the sport has ever been hurt to the body from a head shot.

    I don’t know if you’re a bit slow or something, the doubling up of the word was obviously to emphasize how ridiculous the idea of getting dropped by a bodyshot from a middleweight is when you’ve never even been dropped by a bodyshot from a heavyweight.

    Beterbiev vs GGG right now, Artur whups him.

    Beterbiev vs prime Golovkin who is magically the same size as Beterbiev ... different story.

    If they met at a catchweight of 170 in 2013, it would have been great.
