    Didn’t beterbiev thump bivol in sparring and Kovalev in the amateurs?

    If anything at all this year/early 20/20 we might get the nail vs beterbiev which I’d be happy with

    Looks as though bivol moving to 168 and Kovalev vs Yarde

    Top Rank is holding up the division.

    They are wasting Gvozdyk's prime years. He needs a meaningful fight this year.

    Yeah, it seems so at first glance, but it's not so easy. First, TR is a business entity, not a charity. Their priority is to earn money. Second, for a professional boxer his career is a job (a business if he's really smart) not just a sport. So, even if the three champions want to unify, they want to get paid well for this, they understand that their titles are at risk, so they don't want to fight for peanuts.

    And, unfortunately, there's no money in a Gvozdyk vs. Beterbiev fight... Where should it even take place? In New-York? How many people will attend it? A couple of thousands? Neither of the two is a charismatic talker. Their press-conferences are boring as hell. Well, Atlas is a good addition in this respect, but it's Gvozdyk who's fighting not Teddy. So, all in all, it's a hard sell.

    Complain when Adonis does it... love it when Gvozdyk, Bivol, Beterbiev do it.

    Top 5 fighters don't face off very often, at all. Stick around, you'll see.
