    He needs to win the court case first though ... He can't really sign any of those fights before the case is settled.

    The best chance he has of fighting soon is something like this, ordered by the IBF.

    Beterbiev is definitely beatable, would love it if he takes it.

    Hearn will be laughing all the way to the bank and warren will be crying I can already hear the excuses for yarde

    He can't get anyone good to sign to fight him, at least not until he can get rid of Yvon Michel via the courts. And Johnson is a decent fighter.

    If you want to blame someone for Beterbiev's poor opposition, blame Michel - I have a good understanding of this situation and I can guarantee that he's the reason Beterbiev hasn't fought good opposition (with one exception - he once had a chance to fight Kovalev but turned it down to get more experience in the meantime).

    The Johnson cant take that beating.

    The Johnson will pull out to avoid severe bruising.

    Beterbiev beats Johnson.
