    Beterbiev is a much better fighter than Dubois. But, unlike Usyk, Beterbiev's style relies heavily on physicality and breaking down his opponent. This may not work out so well with a man like Dubois who is considerably bigger than Artur. Plus, Artur tends to get hit quite a bit due to his aggressive style. Not sure how well his chin would hold up at heavyweight. It is not impossible that he out-hustles Dubois, but, I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

    What do you guys think would be Beterbiev’s limit at Heavyweight?

    What can he achieve at Heavyweight? Who is the best opponent at Heavyweight he can beat?

    I did not word the question correctly.

    I meant to ask what would Beterbiev’s limit be as to what can he achieve at Heavyweight? Who is the best opponent he can beat?

    Usyk was a big cruiserweight with a great style for slapping around bodybuilders. berterbiev is a small cruiser at best and doesnt move like usky.

    Dubious chins berb must to everyone's dissatisfaction in the same way fury chins usyk.

    Yarde hurt Beterbiev and Dubois hits harder than Yarde so I lean towards Dubois.

    Whoever lands their big shot first, Dubois could easily KO him.

    Dubois wins, he’s like a slightly worse, but much bigger version of Yarde. Beterbiev is too small and hittable.

    Kevin Lerena who isn't exactly a big puncher or a large HW was bashing Dubois all around the ring and probably would have finished him he had show more urgency. It's a tall task for the much smaller Beterbiev, but far from impossible. He's the better boxer, harder hitter and has much better killer instinct than Lerena. If he hurt Dubois like that he wouldn't be letting him off the hook that's for sure.

    Dubois beats the **** out of Beterbiev. Weight classes for a reason - Dubois is a good 40-50lbs on him, he'd bulldoze him

    I really think Beterbiev would beat any CW right now and most of the HWs, that are outside of top 10.
