    Probably, old Bhop is the only one I think could beat Bivol and even then I suspect Bivol does enough to out point Hopkins.

    Maybe? What is certain he would put me to sleep trying

    Hopefully the juiced up beterbiev knocks him out. Time isn't on his side, but I think he plant's bivol

    Bivol is similar to zaggers in many ways. I'd say that it's within the scope of his skillset to replicate that feat ... just not sure whether he would or not.

    I think Kessler could beat him.

    Hopkins, Kessler & Eubank are his top 3. I think Bivol beats them yes. But so what? Bivol is special too just like Calzaghe was.

    Possible. But Slappy slaps him up.

    Bivol falls to Kessler in a weight class he has never fought in. He would be too dehydrated, and he's not a power puncher either.

    I think Chris Eubank, Hopkins and likely Sakio Bika might give Bivol the most issues on Zags resume.

    But I'd take Bivol to win the all, and I'd have him favourite against Zaggers too

    Bivol could probably go through Calzaghe's entire resume in a year without losing a round. I'm not joking. Give him a week's rest and some protein shakes between fights. Bivol had harder fights in the amateurs than 90% of Calslappy's resume would be.

    Then he would dominate and TKO slappy Joe.

    How he would stop a guy that never lost in 46 pro fights if he can't stop anybody in the last 6 years?

    We’ve never seen Bivol at 168

    He could be weight drained and not be able to perform, take a shot and have a gas tank in the later rounds at that weight for all we know….

    Assuming he's fighting guys at 175, yeah. I don't want to speculate on 168 because I don't know if the cut would take something out of him. But at light heavy, I'd favor him over Kessler and washed-up Jones. And also Hopkins, who wouldn't be able to counter/spoil/roughhouse enough against Bivol's jab and distance control.
