    Beterbiev turned pro far too late and didn't get big fights until late in his career. That hardly reflects on his ability.

    He was 40 vs Bivol. Do you think Usyk at 40 beats Opetaia?

    You make some good points but I'm afraid I cannot agree with any of them whilst I'm wearing this disguise

    "Deontay Wilder was the most overrated boxer of the past decade 2010-2019"

    He might have been the most overrated boxer of the 2nd half of 2019 (after Joshua was stopped by Ruiz but before Fury stopped him) but he certainly wasn't the most overrated prior to that and even at his 42-0-1 10 defence zenith he was outside the top 10 P4P lists. In 2012 David Price was ESPN's "prospect of the year" across all weights, Wilder was merely given an "honourable mention" among 20 others along with fellow heavyweights Abdusalamov and Jennings. In 2015 Wilder was only a very modest favourite to dethrone Stiverne. In 2018/2019 Wilder was a 2/1 underdog in a hypothetical matchup against Joshua.
