Is Beterbiev top 5 all time LHW with a win over Bivol?

His best win was Leslie Stewart. This "many" that you speak of only exists in your head.

 

Maybe step outside and get some fresh air in the real world.

 

I can assure you that Michael Moorer's 175 resume isn't a topic of discussion in the real world. You seem upset.

 

Just observing the obvious.

 

Where do we rate Bivol if he beats Beterbiev?

 

RJJ was a great fighter but he avoided boxers much worse than Beterbiev.

RJJ vs Beterbiev prime for prime would be a fantastic fantasy match that could cement either one's spot in the speculative ATG lists.

 

Not as high as Beterbiev if he beats Bivol.

 

Nope, he becomes a Light Heavyweight H2H ATG fighter, think of Pretty Boy Floyd being an ATG H2H at 130lbs like Saddler despite Argeullo, JCC and Azumah Nelson having the best resume in that weight class.

Beterbiev passes the eye test and he would have cleaned up his division, other than winner of Buatsi vs Azeez but he is close to Azeez (Sparring partner) so I don't think he'll fight him, probably move up and let the belts be scattered for Azeez and co. to take up.
