Beterbiev is still very underrated, People don't give him enough credit and all the praise is going to Bivol for just beating small Canela.
Bivol has never been a legitimate champion. He is a paper champ. Beating Canelo at 175 is not enough to earn the distinction of consensus #1 man at LHW. Canelo is too small!
Oleksandr Gvozdyk is Artur Beterbiev's best win. But I would give him big credit for the win over Marcus Browne. Not because of Marcus Browne, but because of the pressure of fighting with a cut like that, and winning. That's a real champion.
So true the disregard thrown at the True Peoples Champ is contemptible at times as well as disrespectful while Bivol & Team continue to cross their fingers for the man to continue to age out.
Man MANY well known boxers have said Artur is the strongest guy they’ve shared the ring with. I mean I always knew he was strong and a big hitter but he might actually be a H2H All Time top 3-4 at 175. What he did to The Nail is unreal. Never thought anyone in that division would dominate Gvozdyk like that. Artur took some nasty right hands too in that one and didn’t really budge.
Beterbiev is an absolute monster and imo has a very good chance of beating Bivol IF they make the fight happen without the next 24-36 months. He’s getting up there in age and I don’t know how much longer Arthur has.
Father time beats every fighter. Every one was unbeatable at one stage until they got eventually got clipped.
Bivol's smart. He knows he wont win against Beterbiev and will likely age him out, so why not wait it out? He'd hardly be the only guy who's ever ducked someone else for years. Everyone calling out him for beating on Canelo, but that ain't his fault. Its Canelos fault. All Bivol did was accept the challenge.
Beterbiev is clearly the best at 175. Bivol is ducking like everyone in that division. AB could have achieved more if potential opponents did not run scared.
