    Mark my words, Beterbiev will be exposed when he fights a top fighter. He's slow, has poor defense, and tends to throw wild swings.

    He has poor defense thats true but he is not slow except on his feet at times. nor does he throw wild swings.

    His style requires being a bit slow at times anyway. He is constantly coming forward and he saves his energy like Golovkin does.

    His defense needs a lot of work though i agree

    Defensively no he really isn't.

    TBH, I don't see anything special in Beterbiev.

    He's the LHW reincarnation of Mago Abdusallamov.

    Usyk disagrees

    His one inch power punch dont impress you much?

    His in-fighting ability dont impress you much?

    His strength of a grizzly don't impress you much?

    Each to their own Shania

    If he's not any good all the champions should give him a title shot then.

    Quite a bit more devastating relative to his weight class in all honesty though.

    Gvozdyk dismantles and KO's him. And Kovalev I still say does as well.

    Artur can blast, therefore he's a problem for anyone.

    i mean, he's quite possibly one of the hardest p4p punchers of all time, a frightening physical specimen in general, and more skilled than someone like kudryashov IMO, but yeah, he'd probably struggle against the cream of the crop. yknow, if we lived in some alternate fantasy utopia where he actually got in the ring with a live opponent ever again.

    Us Beterbelievers are high on the idea of what Beterbiev COULD be if he mauls and manhandles.

    All non-Beterbelievers will regret their heresy when he's the top LHW.
