Inoue has been voted by boxing medias/experts recently to be the hardest punchers P4P so you'd better make arguements against them not me.
This content is protected 2 ultra short right hands. And the right hand isn't even his money punch. 1 was a KO and the other was the hardest punch Donaire had ever been hit with in his career (his words).
If Beterbiev was the hardest puncher in the sport it wouldn't have taken him 10 rounds to stop Deines and 9 to stop Browne. Joe never left his feet, Beterbiev used his momentum against him. The hardest puncher in the sport, KO'd opponents cold, or at the very least, drops them long enough to not make the 10 count. Beterbiev is very heavy handed for sure, but an accumulation puncher more than a one punch kind of guy.
Many here obviously have never seen AB fight before. He is a skilled wrecking ball, and this performance puts him up there p4p, regardless of what the casuals believe. A fight with Bivol would add some clarity, but I'm not sure Dmitry wants that heat - noone does, which is why Beterbiev has not fought many bouts - boxers know what will happen when they get in the ring with him. Give Joe Smith credit, he stepped up and slugged with possibly the biggest precision puncher p4p in 30 years. LHW is a massive step, but if AB goes up and unifies, this is a greater feat than Usyk.
Slugging with Comrade Arthur Beterbiev is not a good strategy hence Bivol’s scientific approach will give him fits in my opinion.
I agree, this will test Beterbiev's ability to break down a true boxer. Gvozdyk is a boxer puncher. If he KOs Bivol he has arguably the strongest resume in boxing.
Extremely commendable if he can but don’t think he will. Bivol is a master of speed, distance and timing!
