    of what you listed Callum Johnson has the best chance... the strength advantage doesnt exist because Callum is almost as strong.
    Kovalev is past it but I will admit Kovalev clearly has the better power in single shots. I give Kovalev a slight chance but he's way past his prime.

    He's a hell of a coach for LHWs, they should all be wanting to have him take them under his wing.

    He runs through all 3 of them, they don't even make the final bell. Once upon a time, I thought Kovalev was the only person that had a chance against Beterbiev. That version of Kovalev is long gone. I don't think anyone beats Beterbiev at this point. Bivol (who is solid on all cylinders) is the only person at LHW that has a chance to outbox Beterbiev but I question if he can do it and remain upright through 12.
    Beterbiev does some crude things at times that some elite guys may be able to take temporary advantage of but ultimately you have to contend with an endless engine and insane power/strength.
