    I favor Bivol heavily over Beterbiev and slightly over Krusher and Nail.

    I also think Usyk takes a wide UD over Gassiev (and repeats the feat in the HW title rematch in a couple of years)

    So...at least one person doesn't fit that Venn diagram.

    LOL, you had your chance when he had the "fight a fan" contest.

    Barrera is 36 (officially, he too has a lot of lines in his face), and Kovey is 35 next month. If you ain't a ridiculously smart, slippery fighter, that's about what you get in boxing.

    Bivol might beat Beterbiev, its a 50/50 fight, but loses to Gvozdyk and Kovalev.

    The Nail and Kovalev both destroy Beterbiev.

    And yeah Usyk dominates Gassiev.

    Where does hyperbole like this come from? I have no real gauge on who would win round robin fights between the 4 E.E. LHW's but i am pretty damn sure none of them would "destroy Beterbiev". Gassiev and Usyk would not come close eto destroying Beterbiev let alone a guy who almost got doen in a round by Tommy Karpency.

    How about because I don't like Beterbiev and think he's an overrated one trick pony? Is that blunt enough?

    Im a KOVALEV die hard since his rematch with Boone.
    Had the eye of the tiger and the Tula advertising on his trunks had me hook line and sinker.

    I never thought him unbeatable but clearly the best from his KO of Campillo.

    I think he's lost that killer instinct after BHOP.
    Made a few mil and settled at his current level.

    I think Gvodzyk is the best LHW if he can get the big fight without being lowballed.

    Time will tell.

    Don't think Beterbiev is complete enough for the weight.

    Needs to move N when Usyk and Gassiev go to HW

    Beterbiev at Cruiser? Would be interesting. And I can easily see The Nail emerging as the top guy at 175.

    I CAN’T WAIT until Murat and Usyk go up to HW. Gassiev is the hardest hitter in the sport imo.

    When the dust settles in two or so years... where do you see Usyk standing at HW?

    Something tells me that we wont see anytime soon unification at 175.Gvozdyk is friends with Kovalev and Bivol/Beterbiev are russians also [i know that Gvozdyk is from Ukraine] .And Stevenson keeps ducking , meh shame....we need 175 tourney with all title holders in it + Gvozdyk

    Quite a few intriguing career intersections and horizons.

    A great crop of fighters from WW up.

    Seems Loma is a little lonely in the lower weight classes.

    Lol! Loma isn’t seen as a good career move right now :D PFP top guy in the sport imo.

    I’m routing for Usyk to win the tourney. I’ve Always been a fan of his. But wouldn’t be heart broken if Gassiev pulls it off and wins. Seems like a really good dude. Both guys are going to bring wicked excitement to HW.

    If he isn't ducked, as high as he wants. He fought and tamed better super heavies than Wilder and Joshua in the amateurs & WSB.

    If he ends up at cruiser it should be mandatory that Beterbiev get in with Kudryashov. :lol: Would be the ultimate don't-blink shootout.
