39-40 year old beterbiev is still better than zepeda and the 2nd fight was a competitive but clear bivol win.
I scored the fight a draw (115-113 shakur is fine too). Matias or GAR will beat him decisively if he ever decides to move up to 140.
3rd best*
why skip 130?
DLH was tougher. That fight was arguably a draw while floyd beat pacquiao clearly.
My top 3: 1. Boxer-punchers 2. Pressure fighters 3. Front foot counterpunchers
Not a bum. Hes just not elite.
He has mainly just fought favorable styles like sluggers with terrible defense. I knew that when he'd face a pure boxer, he would look ordinary....
probably average. he just dosent get hit clean much
bivol would be competitive with any version of beterbiev. he has a great chin, great fight IQ, great counterpunching, great speed, and great footwork.
40 year old hopkins could also be competitive with bivol
Fair but he did duck shakur (even turki said so in this AMA thing he did on reddit)
those KO's were from lesser quality opponents. when he faced a better one, he didn't have it in him to fight fire with fire. he just hid behind...
Briedis and chisora could have been draws
115-113 Bivol
