    Was not in the top 10 P4P rankings.

    Now with an 18-0 record with 18 KO's should at least be ahead of both Shakur Stevenson & Devin Haney ( 9th & 10th P4P) and maybe ahead of Bivol currently at 7th too.

    What say you?

    I rate Beterbievs demolition job of Cvozdyk higher than Bivol outclassing Canelo.

    Bivol is more versatile, a small LHW and rarely loses rounds + no behind the shots and clubbing illegal shots like beterbiev does especially against gvozdyk

    Where are your pound for pound rankings coming from? I ask because Ring does not have Haney or Stevenson in their top ten.

    I don't know if I think Beterbiev should be in the top ten but he definitely should be ranked ahead of Haney and Stevenson. I think he should have been ranked ahead of them before the Smith fight. Haney and Stevenson need to do a bit more in their careers to show they belong in the top ten.
