    I wouldn’t lose too much sleep about it unless you really like long circular arguments with a Wilder fanboy.

    Because Spinks is bigger than Beterbiev and more skilled. You're using a hypothetical 200 pound Ameture Beterbiev but do you realize Beterbiev himself said he doesn't want to more up to cruiserweight in the pros ? Beterbiev is not Awkward. He would come foreward like you say, and he would predictably do so. Holmes would slip all of his shots and beat the crap out of him. More dominant version of the the Ray Mercer fight. Oh yeah. Did you know Ray Mercer like Beterbiev also fought at heavyweight in the amateurs ? Did you know Ray Mercer is also significantly larger than Beterbiev ?
    The reverse is also true. You don't know whether Beterbiev also got gifted some decisions because not all of his footage is shown
    Why are you using an amateur Larry Holmes. Amateurs are different from the pros and they were even more different back then. Your thread says 35 year old Larry Holmes
    You're using Joe Smith as an example (LOL)

    Beterbiev would get the crap beaten out of him by a heavyweight 35 year old Larry Holmes.

    Beterbiev wouldn't even make it past Briedis.

    Which one is it ? Will Beterbiev pressure Larry Holmes or will he move around ? Quit cherrypicking.

    Either way he loses
    Beterbiev is not more skilled on the front foot than Joe Frazier. You're smoking crack.

    Spinks > Beterbiev btw

    I'm sorry to hear about this blockage. Only prayer and massive amounts of booze will help you get over this life changing experience.

    Plus Frazier had far better head movement and could bob a weave to evade shots and counter.

    NEETzcheans ALT has to go

    OP is a thick skulled bafoon. When Bivol beats Beterbiev I'll bump this thread just so NEET can rot in his stupidity.

    Joe Smith couldn't get it done, but i was hoping he'd land a hail mary shot and represent. He always had a punchers chance but Beterbiev was too good. I didn't favor him.

    Bivol absolutely wins. No questions. Im even more convinced now, because Beterbievs tendency to always throw short clubbing shots will be his downfall against a man like Bivol who is incredible at controlling distance. And Bivol will spend almost no time on the ropes. Beterbiev will put lots of damage but not enough to break him down.

    Bivol will not exchange with Beterbiev frequently like Gvozdyk did. Dimitry will outbox him over 12. You will all see.

    These threads are becoming more and more ridiculous by the day.

    Frazier didn`t have hopeless head movement.

    What utter garbage. There's a reason 'styles make fights' is a popular saying.
