    Maybe because he hasn't beaten a world class fighter since 2019?

    So most fighters in the top 10 haven't either.

    I wouldn't say Lomachenko is genetically ungifted. His gifts are different to Beterbiev's. History will remember him with greater esteem, t'boot.


    Okay? What's this got to do with anything? :lol:


    You sound like you're unironically about to rub one out over the guy. I hope it's a half-act you're putting us all on with. :lol:


    Yes, Lomachenko does come on like something of a jagoff. By the by, however, so far as his ability goes.

    Incorrect.

    On Ring's top 10, only Inoue and probably Loma have failed to beat a top five fighter in their division since the start of 2021.

    Beterbiev isn't on the pound for pound list, because he a) isn't good enough and b) hasn't done enough to get on there.

    Bivol will beat him and all of that ATG talk you people claim about Beterbiev will just be absorbed right into Bivols resume.

    It will be an excellent moment to witness

    Beterbiev has the 3rd best win of anybody on the active top 10 p4p list. I would say that Usyk's victory over Briedis is the top win followed by Estrada over a slightly over the hill Gonzalez. Beterbiev's over Gvozdyk would be 3rd best.

    Crawford's best win a past prime Porter.
    Inoue's best win a past prime Donaire.
    Spence's best win a past prime Brook.
    Canelo's best win a past prime GGG.
    Bivol's best win is a 160 pounder.
    Lomachenko best win is a past prime 122 pounder.
    Josh Taylor best win is Prograis.
    Charlo best win is Castano.

    But he's really, really, insanely physically strong.

    There's a weird scene I'd like to embed here (not on YouTube), from Roy Boulting's Twisted Nerve, where Hywel Bennett's character practically jacks himself off over some bodybuilding magazines. That's the vibe I get from @tinman posts about Beterbiev's strength. :lol:

    Bodybuilding is useless in boxing.
