    What's that rot got to do with pro boxing?

    For some reason I don't think Beterbiev would even bother stepping into the ring if he knew his opponent was Ken Norton.

    And as a pro?

    Audley Harrison did fine as an amateur heavyweight.
    What titles did Beterbiev win as an amateur heavy?

    Not to mention that the Amateur Heavyweight Boxing weight limit was 91kg (200.6lbs) in Beterbiev’s am days.

    And Usyk must have had no potential at heavyweight as a cruiserweight.

    noneck is literally the only poster on this forum who uses someone's career in the AMATEURS to gauge how they'd do in a pro fight.

    I like Butterbean’s chances vs. Norton as much asI do Beterbiev’s … I’ll throw Beavis and Butthead into the discussion too.

    None, just like Arguello, Hagler, SRL, Carlos Zarate and those types.

    That's a fair point but Marciano never beat a class 212 pound heavyweight either aside from perhaps a faded Louis and I wouldn't classify any of the big men Dempsey beat that size as being in Nortons class either
