Beterbiev is chinny

He had more than 300 fights in amateurs, beat guys like Kovalev, Gvozdyk and Usyk, lost only in a few. He was a p4p#1 in amateurs. He became a world champion in pros on his 11s fight. Why don't you accept that is a great fighter, top10 p4p

You wouldn't call that 'square-on' and off-balance?

I would....

Nonsense thread...

 

that was fighting to you?

holy crap. no wonder you feel so confident calling beterbeaver chinny, lol

 

you are not convinced?

why does your thread title claim you have no doubt?

lol

 

I'd guess he assumed you were, there's no other explanation for Ward making it into this discussion. I searched your history, though, and it seems you hadn't made mention of Andre Ward in 12 years since signing up.

It's part of the problem on this forum, there's a culture of reciprocal jaundice and point-scoring so entrenched and infesting so many threads, people just assume any critical comment about a top fighter must stem from some kind of predisposition or jaundice (this isn't Serge's hamartia, it's the community's). If an outsider to these parties pipes up and offers a simple, unaffected statement of opinion, there's a chance he'll be dismissed as a hater and the baby will be thrown away with the bathwater.

I'd love to have some threads on LHW that don't start in pettiness or devolve into pettiness or, even when they do start in pettiness, are guided toward fruitful discussion by the forum's more thoughtful contributors. A thread isn't necessarily hopeless just because it starts out with a jaundiced post. Not to say it was your intent to be petty in the original post, but it happens.


I'm not too bothered whether Beterbiev is a bit chinny or not. If, for argument's sake, one concludes that he has a vulnerable streak, there's still a distinction between that and being easy to put away, and we've seen fighters with vulnerable streaks do well in spite of it (even a guy like Khan was able to survive a rough period with Maidana, and that's a fairly extreme example of a vulnerable guy, I don't think Beterbiev's issues are that bad). There are other intangibles involved.

We'll find out more about him soon enough, just as we found out about Ward (really good chin).

 

Some have described Juan Manuel Marquez as chinny, merely on account of the number of times he was sat down.

If he's chinny, he sure did great in spite of it.

 

Exactly. Guess the OP didn’t catch Adonis Stevenson’s last fight

 

Murk20 you stay silent to me from now on.

 

And got up immediately. He wasnt even hurt or dazed. He also finished the round strong.

Haters need something to hold onto.

Beterbiev will keep knocking out their heroes.

 

And got straight back up.

Chinny guys stay on the floor looking at stars wondering what day it is.

You wanna see chinny? Look no further than Kovalev.

 

If he’s so chinny, why didn’t canelo fight him as opposed to kovalev who was in a world of hurt against a guy with 19 amateur fight? Why was he ducked as Andre wards mandatory?
