Gvodzyk calling out the weight bullies (Benavidez and Beterbiev)

Gvozdyk is the same size as Beterbiev lol. Beterbiev is slightly stockier but he's tripping. Agree on Benavidez

 

I think Beterbiev is a lot stockier.

 

Weight bully lol what is he 5

 

Isnt beterbiev like 5'10? If anything gvosdyk is the weight bully.

 

Beterbiev is a normal size Lightheavy. He has dense bones, but his size is nothing out of the ordinary.

He's also way too small for the Cruiserweight division.

 

Weight classes were built to weight bully people. Almost every single champion since day of weigh ins ended rehydrates 15-20 lbs above the limit. The only exceptions were a handful of guys who moved up five or more classes like Pacquiao and Chocolatito. Rigondeaux too. All three of those boys could theoretically have dropped two or three weight classes and mother****ed everybody. Since then, maybe Lomachenko doesn't rehydrate much. Canelo probably can't when he fights at light heavyweight. Anybody know what Inoue weighs on the night of the fight?

Remember that B-Hop started out at light heavyweight then moved down two weight classes, while Roy Jones Jr and James Toney started down around middleweight and fought their way up to heavy for a challenge. Even when he couldn't make the cut anymore and moved back to his original weight class, Hopkins still usually had height and reach advantages over his opponents. He was both taller and had longer reach than either Jones or Toney.

 

Yeah, Beteroid is 178-180cm, stocky but I'd say almost undersize at 175 for modern fighters. Callum Smith was huge compared. So was Joe Smith. So was Nail.

 

I'm a huge Gvozdyk fan but I thought he was the biggest LHW in the division when he fought Beterbiev. Same with Usyk. he was a big cruiser.

 

He's right. Both of those guys are huge.

 

Oleksandr Gvozdyk:
height 6′ 2″ / 188cm
reach 75½″ / 192cm

Artur Beterbiev:
height 5′ 11½″ / 182cm
reach 73″ / 185cm

In a mutual fight Artur Beterbiev 174½, Oleksandr Gvozdyk 174¼.
What is Gvozdyk talking about; talk about a ¼ pound difference in weight?

 

nope.

Beterbiev is smaller than Gvodzyk, Smith, Zurdo and Yarde

 

Bro Usyk rehydrates to 207-212 in almost all of his CW fights. Usyk is exactly a CW sized guy.
And size is not just how tall you are. But thick, shoulder width, how much mass your frame can carry without you being bulky, etc. Beterbiev may not be the tallest, but he is build like a tank. But i don't remember him ever have problems with making weight, and he is 40 now, so if he was such a bully, he would have struggled. So crap take from Gvozdyk.

 

He’s also atleast 2 inches shorter with a 3.5 inch shorter reach

 

Sour grapes at least in regards to Beterbiev.
