    Foster probably stops him, Foster was a legit 6’3 with a great jab, powerful right and a devastating hook. Foster also had faster hands than Beterbiev. So it would be very hard for Beterbiev to get close to Foster without running into something big. Beterbiev could win but I pick Foster

    Moorer was terrific and had unbelievable power but as a southpaw, he is also open to the right hand. Beterbiev has a terrific right hand. I pick Beterbiev to beat Moorer but if Moorer lands his right hook, he has a chance.

    Qawi Beterbiev is something I am undecided about

    Quai in his prime was an absolute monster at light heavyweight who could go 15 fast rounds. He beats many at this weight.

    Qawi. He was so unique and a difficult fight for everyone. A defensively sound, tough as nails, could bang and would make you miss and pay. There simply hasn't been a 5'6 lightheavy with Qawi's skillset.

    Qawi gives him the most trouble as he would not have as many issues as the other 2 standing up to Beterbiev. I don't think Foster nor Moorer could stand up to Beterbiev, and I think Beterbiev is too comfortable on the front foot looking for someone. Moorer and Foster would both be there to get hit, despite both having unreal firepower. Foster was upright and I feel Beterbiev would find him with some big shots. Moorer liked to exchange and that's all bad with that matchup.

    Qawi could use his excellent infighting in combination with his awkward and devastating angles of punching. He could land big overhands in close due to his dimensions. I think Qawi would also be much more comfortable in the pocket than probably any other LHW in history against Artur. Beterbiev would have to fight with Qawi and I think Qawi could win a great technical brawl. Very good matchup.

    Qawi. Foster and Moorer would get folded.
