    Limbo fighter versus out of nowhere cometh the fighter! Beterbievs career is being wasted.. What happened to Mekhontsev too?

    Still thinking Beterbiev via KO. Poll is close.

    55/45 Arthur
    Gvozdyk is a strong guy but the Real AB (not Broner) seems more dailed Into his power, accuracy and work rate.
    I think Arthur would catch him in the mid rounds and most likely end this with a TKO as I don't see either guy getting KTFO

    That's fair. For what it's worth, I rate Beterbiev very highly myself and hope he gets the opportunities to prove his talent.

    Then again the fancy footwork of G could have Arthur following him all night if he fails to cut G off....Crap I just know for certain I would love to see this FIGHT

    The Mayweather comparison is at best unreasonable. Beterbiev has done nothing noteworthy in his career so far.

    And honestly, Beterbiev hasn't impressed me.

    Maybe when Stevenson gets old. MAYBE. Ward clowns Beterbiev and so does Kovalev..

    I think Stevenson knocks Beterbiev out.

    I even think it'd be one of Stevenson's easier fights, and I don't rate Stevenson that high. Beterbiev is slow and plodding, with poor defense.

    If Gvozdyk is on his toes for the majority of the fight, jab move or smother I think he could beat him. Bivol and Gvozdyk are the most impressive upcoming LHW's for my money.

    Really hard, to say as both have looked nearly unbeatable so far as pros. I'd slightly lean towards Beterbiev as he has next level power and we'd have to see how well Gvozdyk could deal with this. I doubt either side has the confidence to put one another against each other yet.

    Exactly - and these are the guys who Steveson makes his bread and butter with...
