    I think Bivol is actually overrated. Everyone high on him for beating Canelo who is nobody at 175. Other than that he has ducked the top guy in his division for 7 years and beat up B and C grade opponents.

    Tank is the most underrated overrated fighter. He reminds me of David Beckham where casuals think he is the best of the best and that irks more seasoned fans to the point they refuse to acknowledge anything good he does.

    Gervonta "Failure To Launch" Davis is nearly age 30, yet has never fought a top opponent. He avoided Loma for years, waiting for him to decline with age. He won't fight Haney, Lopez, or Stevenson.

    He has looked impressive against mediocre boxers, but so did Anderson and Makhmudov.

    Let's not forget that despite having fought in three weight divisions over the course of his 11 year career, and earning a lot more per fight than Bivol for a long time now everytime he fights sans Bivol vs Clenelo who Bivol still earned a lot less for facing than Plant, Smith and BJS 2.0 did against Clenelo, his best win is still Pedraza.

    Bivol who is like a large SMW has to move up 25lbs to become a two-weight champ like Twink (unless he moves down to 168) and he earns peanuts compared to Twink and unlike Twink doesn't have the luxury and advantage of fighting at home so you can complain about it taking so for Bivol vs Beterbiev to get made but how much realistically would they have made for fighting each other prior to the Saudis getting involved?

    Beterbiev and Gvozdyk earned $1.5 mill for facing prime versions of each other in a unification match up, Haney earned £3 mill for facing a complete washed inactive much smaller version of Linares despite never having beaten a prime world class opponent before

    If Twink fought an elite opponent the level of Clenelo or Beterbiev he'd earn way way more than Bivol did or will for facing either. Twink's earing more for fighting D and C levels than Bivol did against Clenelo and likely will against Beterbiev

    Bivol never wanted anything to do with Beterbiev for just as long as Tank hasn't with Loma though. Bivol is older than Tank and is yet to fight a single opponent ranked in the top 5 at 175. The Canelo win is nice and all but how many other top level fighters has he actually beaten? Tank at least has the Pedraza win over a reigning champ in his own division. I despise Tank passionately btw, I just find it strange that Bivol isn't criticised for his choice of opposition like others are.
