    I always said Bivol has the best chance to beat Beterbiev, even when Kova was still in the mix.

    But I think Beterbiev stops him late if they fought next, within 6 months tme.

    Beterbiev of Gvosdyk fight stops him in 10. Now? More of a 50-50 fight.

    Beter needs one shot

    Bivol too fast, too slick

    I’ll take Bivol

    Always said Bivol would cause Beterbiev massive problems. He’d box similar to how he did against Canelo tonight and that would frustrate the hell out of Beterbiev too. Beterbiev is stronger and more explosive at 175 than Canelo though so it’s still a very dangerous fight for Bivol. Close one but I’ll go Bivol points

    If Canelo can back up Bivol so can Beterbiev

    Canelo was not strong enough to push Bivol off either whereas Beterbiev will just maul him

    You have to watch the Gvozdyk fight. Beterbiev THREW Gvozdyk to the canvas 3 times and he backed him up. He's also much bigger than Bivol too (head size, wrist, natural strength, insane power)

    It's hard to imagine Bivol not getting hurt or having the legs to stay away from that power all night.

    Bivol would box Beterbiev’s head off but get stopped late rounds once the pace drops.

    Beterbiev but he's going to slow down soon. I'd rather that fight than a rematch with Canelo.

    I think Bivol beats Beterbiev now, Beterbiev is 3-4 years past his best and Bivol is in his prime

    I don't know, not because of how Bivol won today, but because Beterbiev is aging and god knows how he would be in September

    Beterbiev. Too strong.
    Bivol has better feet than Gvozdyk but he still will not be able to keep AB away.
