Other than Zurdo and Bivol, Beterbiev has no-one else at 175lbs, he should face Briedis instead

    Zurdo and Bivol are the only stylistically interesting matchups for Beterbiev at this point of time.

    Yarde mandatory aside, i'm not interested in Beterbiev facing the British 175lbs core (Callum Smith, Buatsi, etc..)


    If Beterbiev is serious about moving up to Cruiserweight, he ought to move up sooner than later.

    How would you envision a fight between Beterbiev and Briedis ?

    Briedis beats him, and the hype train falls.

    Beterbiev should just attempt to dominate LHW and go down as an ATG, although he has his work cut out for him against Subzero Bivol.

    Beterbiev definitely beats Okolie though

    He needs to try and unify.
    Demolish Yarde in his backyarde and then move on toward the grand finale vs Bivol.

    What hype train ? nobody was talking about him until his last win. He deserves every single thread an post that he is getting right now. WTF is wrong with you people ?

    Likes of Tank, Romero and the UK hypejobs who has done nothing is getting a lot of media, but 3 belt holder, 100% KO guy, who destroys everyone outside of his home, don't deserve at least one week of threads and posts ?





    Briedis is fighting in July. let's see if he is aged or not. than we will talk about this fight, but first Beterbiev should fight Makabu, if he moves up

    I agree. And then give Canelo a shot if Canelo still has ambitions. Get that money.

    Beterbiev beats Makabu and Breidis. Far too refined and probably stronger on the inside too.

    He should ask the WBC for a shot at the Cruiserweight championship like Canelo did.

    Beterbiev has big fights to get out the way at light heavyweight first. If he beats, Yards, Bivol, Bakole, Zurdo etc which I think he can do and by knockout and maybe picks a CW title after that then he'll have cemented himself as an all time great.

    Will Bob Arum give him the fights after Yarde. Every other top 175lbs is with Dazn.

    With Breidis dethroned Beterbiev should easily sweep CW unless father time catches up with him.

    Pretty sure Bivol is on a fight by fight contract with DAZN and is a free agent.
