    I agree but I see him beating the majority of fighters you listed.

    Sorry but Ward and Calzaghe got nothing to suggest me they can beat him and I find laughable to think otherwise, B-Hop at light-heavy was good but not that elite with age being a factor tho but I don't see any version defeatin' Biev, The Executioner might lose to the canadian to the distance after givin' him too much respect.
    Idk about Tarver, did each other face and beat convincely a fighter similar to the other?
    Spinks, Toney and Roy would be the ones that could outpoint him.

    How is Calzaghe even considered in the running at a great at 175lbs? It's madness

    Well, turns out you are the one that can't read. Here you go: https://i.ibb.co/2MP86VT/1.jpg You're welcome.

    A lot of pundits and boxers had the fight for Beterbiev too.

    In other words, cope harder. Bivol lost. Couldn't beat a 40 year old with a bum knee. Put up a great fight tho. He's the next best and will rule 175 after King Arthur retires.

    No fighter in history is unbeatable

    No 40 y/o is in their prime either

    This is what I said before the fight

    ''Whilst I think it will be competitive, I do expect Bivol to have a lot of success outboxing Beterbiev and with his fast flurries and punishing him in between shots with them, especially if opts to use the ring more than he usually does to prevent Beterbiev from getting set. But the reason I lean towards Beterbiev is because he's not merely a huge puncher he's force of nature with good skills of his own and I just don't know if Bivol can keep him off of him for 12 rounds.''

    Why did I think Bivol could do that, aside from him being a P4P top 10 ranked master boxer who literally gets hit less than anyone else in the sport?

    ''Bivol possesses the right attributes and skills to expose the areas a near 40 y/o fighter will have declined in due to age''

    I got the result wrong but only because Bivol was the first opponent of Beterbiev's who was able to withstand the pressure and late rally and even then it was looking very dicey and like he might succumb to it late

    The point is:

    A guy who barely beat somebody, isn’t in any way unbeatable.

    He's unbeaten, but not unbeatable.

    And the longer he hangs around, the more beatable he becomes.

    Well said not only did he win but it was a performance for the ages, and it is getting clouded by the controversy.
    It’s not possible to find a win for Beterbiev, I have tried, it was a boxing masterpiece against one of the most feared fighters in the sport.
    In many ways it was a better performance than Crawfords against Spence.
    But iam with you here, results are not all there cracked up to be in this sport.
    And like you say a corrupt trio of multinationals verdicts don’t carry the weight they should, the historical evidence of corruption has degraded the value a judge’s decision for me, and it can’t change what I saw.
    It’s that bad now that I have to go and watch a fight back and try being biased towards the fighter that received the corrupt win.
    Almost to make sure I didn’t miss something they saw.

    Yes. I believe Bivol is 100 percent clean. Because Kate doesn't talk about it.

    Do you think their wives are present when they inject themselves with PEDs?

    I think Bivol won and was surprised by the result. Then I remembered that it's boxing and this is the norm.
