Artur Beterbiev mandatory for Kovalev/Ward winner

Beterviev vs. Kovalev would be great!

 

I still believe Beterbiev is a much worse stylistic matchup for Ward as Kovalev is, and for Kova I see Ward as the harder fight.

 

I don't correlate the amatuers to the pros, as it's totally different. That said Kovalev is the better well rounded fighter over Beterbiev which is why it's going to be a difficult fight for Ward. Beterbiev is seek and destroy, Ward's experience would nullify his offense.. He knows when to hold and when to engage. I think he'll frustrate Artur after the first 5 rounds and he'll be following Ward around getting punched IN THE face.. Kovalev is the tougher fight.

We both know when a fighter can't figure out his opponent, and can't land flush they soon go into survival mode. That's what I think happens to Beterbiev if he fights Ward, after he beats Kovalev..... if it happens.

 

That's saying IQ doesn't correlated with success in life as it's "totally different". Yet there's a strong correlation. Success in amateur boxing and professional boxing is strongly correlated.

 

No its not like saying that, at all. Amatuers you fight with headgears, in the pros you dont.. you have some highly touted amatuers and Olympians that never become world champs in pro boxing. So I think your little comparisons are way overblown.

And you really don't need an high IQ to be successful in anything. All it takes is hard work, determination, ambition, passion and always believe in yourself..

 

And you have people who have genius level IQ who are homeless bums. Still IQ is correlated with success with life.

If you take 50 gold medal winners from the Olympics who turned professional their professional career prospects (statistically) are MUCH better than 50 random professional boxers in a control group.

 

I left more in my response to your first post, so I'd like you to go read it. Thanks.

And the second part, that maybe true about gold medal winners, but how many amatuers make the Olympics, or how many amatuers even medal? What you do in the amatuers doesn't always turn well for you in the pros.. that's the point I'm trying to make... for example, Ricardo Williams was a silver medalist, never won a world title. Andre Dirrell, a bronze medalist, never won a world title. . Joe Calzaghe never made the Olympic team, is considered the ATG super MW. It doesn't always correlate, like you think.

 

I dont see Braehmer getting by Cleverly

 

No, he has to win a final eliminator to be ranked number 1.

 

That's a good fight. But I'm going to favor Braehmer In that one@
