Is Dmitry Bivol The future of boxing

I believe he will be a top ten P4P fighter, and I also believe he's the future of the LHW division, with Gvozdyk his biggest threat. But the entire sport? I don't see it, he doesn't have the polarising attitude that turns him into a love/hate fighter, nor the unorthadox eye catching style of guys like Loma. He's also fairly average in size at 175 so I can't see him making the huge 25lb step up. If anything Nail's bigger frame is more suited to the 200lb division.

Can't wait for these two to get in the ring with each other though. Possibly the fight I'm most looking forward to in the entire sport.

 

Lord I hope not. He’s boring. Four-round fighter and then just bounce around and run out the clock.

 

Gvozdyk will be the future at 175 bank on that.

 

I record the Sat. night fights nowadays and I was fast forwarding thru this by the 5th round

 

Future of LHW yes.

 

Definitely not a superstar or anything close to it.

 

I say Bivol you're still cool lol

 

In a word... no

Alvarez would push his **** in

 

Well we may find out next.

 

Let's hope so, damn good fight.

 

Why, what does he do or have that makes you say that?

 

He didn't exactly impress this last time out but he's definitely top 5 in the LHW division so maybe it's time for him to fight the others up there. I just want them to mix it up so we can see, there's a lot of fights just in that top 5. A real boxing fan wants this, not just tourney because triangle theory doesn't work in boxing so they all should mix it up.

 

The same Alvarez who was lucky to escape with a majority decision in a very close fight against Chilemba?

 

He and Gvozdyk are the future of LHW division as long as they're moved along quicker. I think both of these guys are more talented than Stevenson and Kovalev were.

Bivol is one of those guys who will fly under people's radars because he's not very flashy. No devastating power, obviously skilled but not a slickster that catches the eye. He's just a really good basic boxer.

The fact that he comprehensively outpointed Chilemba who gives almost everyone a tough fight is something that will not impress anyone who's not a fan of the division but is appreciated by people who do know.
