    Level 3: Georges Carpentier
    Level 4: Jimmy Bivins
    Level 5: Tommy Loughran
    Level 6: Billy Conn
    Level 7: Gene Tunney
    Level 8: Michael Spinks
    Level 9: Archie Moore
    Level 10: Ezzard Charles

    Where do they stop? Do they even stop?

    Those dudes mostly dominated 168 and 160, so I wanted to just choose ATG light heavys.

    Beterbiev matches up better than Bivol against a field of great LHWs. Bivol's style would get exposed at the ATG level.

    LHW is a physical division.

    Beterbiev has insane pedigree and the genetic makeup to have incredible longevity as long as he remains dedicated.

    I have him KOing just about everyone head to head, prime for prime.

    Like Crawford and Spence, They shouldn’t be in the conversation with ATG LHWs before they fight each other.

    I think Beter would have issues with Moore and Charles. Moore had great power.

    I think the opposite would happen.

    I think Bivol does better than Beterbiev against those guys, but they both lose to all of them.

    The sad part is that neither Bivol nor Beterbiev are nearly as good as they would be if they had come up fighting in almost any other era than the present. They'd be more active, fight better quality guys and would have fought each other, probably several times by this point in their careers.

    It's really not fair to compare them with he ATGs.
