    Gerald McClellan vs Arthur Beterbiev would be one of the coolest, if not the coolest fights of all time in my opinion. Please each of you express your opinion. I'm a huge Arthur fan but Gerald McLellan is one of the best for me along with Mike Tyson, Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano.

    McClellan has better one punch power P4P but in a mythical match up between the two Beterbiev would destroy McClellan. Beterbiev is a Cruiserweight fighting at Light Heavyweight and McClellan's best weight was Middleweight it's a no brainer.

    McClellan is not even close to a prime Tyson or Robinson and not too sound harsh to you as you're a new member but quite frankly it's insulting to put McClellan alongside those names.

    McClellan was outboxed by Ralph Ward, Dennis Milton, and his claim to fame is beating a past it Julian Jackson with eye problems. He never beat one prime elite fighter i think McClellan is very overrated in all honesty.

    I don't know if there's any middleweight in history who's a puncher first, who would be favored to beat Beterbiev at Light Heavyweight.

    Eugene Hart has a chance with that Philly bred "touch of death". ;) Hagler said he hit harder then Thomas Hearns, who's power carried to cruiserweight.

    DP, yet again I could not agree with you more. Whereas Gerald was an excellent puncher and huge at 160, just who the **** did he beat besides JJ? Well put!!!
