    There's plenty of fantasy matches with Beterbiev against legends, so here's a matchup I find interesting from his main rival; Bivol.

    Who wins?

    Schmeling lost to worse guys than Bivol. The question is how does Bivol deal with the size difference.

    The Schmeling who beat Louis would bury Bivol...

    I think Schmeling would probably have better luck pushing the fight like he did against Stribling, rather than trying to counter Bivol like he did Louis.

    If they fought at 175 then Bivol has a chance. But if Bivol is expected to take on the heavyweight version of schmeling and around the time he was beating the best then I can’t favor him

    I have doubts Bivol would beat Stribling.

    Do you have to be exceptional to beat Stribling? He lost to guys like Schaaf I wouldn't rate as being close to great. Bivol has been extremely consistent.

    Spoke to Dimitri today. Asked how he felt about fighting Scmeling at 175. He said 'I saw something " and predicted a win by decision but had doubts at 190.
