    Assuming Bivol can actually get past Artur how does this fight play out. Can Bivols superior iq, defense and Soviet footwork destroy aj ?

    I don't know about Bivol, I would bet that Beterbiev would hurt AJ

    Would Bivol have to be weighing in at HW?

    70 lb weight difference. Let's be reasonable here.

    AJ got sparked by a big power puncher, not a little guy. His massive size advantage and power advantage will give anyone at cruiser or below (outside of Usyk) nightmares.

    Because of the size difference it is easy to dismiss Bivol's chances but his " superior IQ, defense and Soviet footwork" would make him a very live underdog who could frustrate the hell out of AJ.

    Well, I said Bivol would box the ears off of DoubleCheese Ruiz, I stand on that.

    Change Bivol to Beterbiev and it doesn't sound so crazy huh? After 80kg any man can knock another man out unless he's a pillow fisted Devin Haney type, Bivol ain't pillow fisted and we all see what happens once you hit AJ right in his dome, he looks discombobulated and loses his will to fight.

    Hell, I'm sure AJ would be coming out behind his jab trying to box with Bivol because he's just that clueless

    Let's say AJ hasn't knocked out Bivol in 3 rounds, how does the fight look?

    Now let's say Bivol is still standing after the 6th round, you really think AJ is gonna have the gas tank to knock him out if he hasn't done it by then? The answer is no.

    Joe Louis would do an assassination job on AJ in a similar fashion, except he wouldn't even have to move and tire him out, he'd just put him to sleep gently, like a son tucking his kid to sleep
