    I disagree. I think Kovalev at this point would stop him.

    So far, yes Beterbiev looks very impressive.. vs Fonfara's, kovalev's, and old bhop's leftovers, who were past their best when beterbiev got to them. These are hardly top LHWs anymore are they?

    I am impressed with Beterbiev's obvious accuracy, power, how he conserves his work rate, how he rips the body viciously.. hes the goods.

    Kovalev is more proven at this stage. i saw Campillo touch beterbiev up a little with a right jab. Kovalev's jab is not flashy but it's effective and it is a real shot. Beterbiev's defense is decent for a fighter of his style, but probably not good enough to avoid Kovalev's awkward, unpredictable combos. I pick Kovalev by late round TKO. Of course it would be competitive and i wouldnt count artur out. But id go with kovalev right now.

    Right now, no doubt Kovalev wins. Don't care about Beterbiev winning back in the amateur days. As of now, the Krusher is the better boxer. I even think he'd give him a lesson.

    All that said, Beterbiev is still very impressive for a guy with less than 10 professional fights.

    if you read what i said i backed beterbeiv to stop kovalev even before he fought cloud, beterbeiv is a monster, kovalev is a monster but boxing has never seen a beterbiev before, i knew it back then

    beterbiev stops everyone at 175 downwards

    I can't really predict this one. I'd like to see if someone could come up with some comprehensive, insightful explanation and not just something like "A is a bum, B has a glass jaw" sort of nonsense.

    Kovalev. Beterbiev is powerful, but still too raw to beat Kovalev.

    Watch Beterbiev vs Usyk on Youtube. Even though he lost, he's even capable of giving a good fight to a freak like Usyk. He's most certainly not "raw" just because he hasn't been a pro for a long time. The dude is 30 years old and has been fighting on top level for the last 10 years. He can go against anyone, anytime.

    You guys voting for the Bievs are forgetting that Kovalev killed a man in the ring, crushes ribs with jabs, and outboxed B Hop. Yeah, an old B Hop but a skillful one.
