    Who wins? Makabu hits like a truck, and is naturally bigger.

    Makabu gets iced but you know what, he would have a good go

    Id enjoy this fight

    Although id never forgive him for losing to Bellew and thus spawning the obnoxious Bellew twit we see everywhere today

    Makabu can definitely knock Beterbiev out.

    Makabu would be too big and too strong

    I'm lost by comparing a CW to LHW.

    Beterbiev is happy not fighting at light heavy.
    Makabu by KO if Beterbiev ever has the guts to step up

    ABs biggest advantage at LHW is his physicality, at CW he has nothing.

    Hmm, interesting fight. I'd pick Beterbiev, but Makabu would be the biggest puncher he's ever been in with, as isn't too poor in the skills department either.

    Beterbiev is like a modern day Rocky though, and if any LHW is going to run roughshod over a higher division it's him.

    I'd pick Makabu to obliterate Beterbiev until he shows he can deal with someone that size.
