    I was always interested in gassiev dropping down and fighting Beterbiev, would’ve been a great fight

    I would give Beterbiev more chance to stop Usyk, than any current HW or CW.

    You know damn well that wasn't no kidney shot. If by scoring fights you mean bull**** amateur rules then i don't care about that. All i know is Beterbiev busted up Usyk and plenty people that saw it think that way too

    Ah so you see me posting on the threads in the "Lounge" and decide i'm a bad poster, not only that, you call me a dumb kid. You must be a really good poster yourself

    Beterbiev would have beaten Bellew for sure. At his peak I'd favour him over Opetaia too. Opetaia is good but (having followed him closely as he's from my side of the world) wouldn't stand much of a chance against prime Briedis to be honest.

    Even if you don't think Beterbiev is special, a unified champion will usually be able to beat all but the very best at the division above.

    BTW well done on finding the 1st fight footage @IntentionalButt.

    The punch was to the back of Usyk's torso. The kidneys are to the rear.
