    Both became undisputed and unified all 4 belts in the modern era. That is so hard to do given how much politics run boxing

    Both fights were classics

    If that doesn't seal it for you, what does?

    Also, Bivol is bigger than Xanelo and GGG

    Elite Eurasian brothers are the pinnacle of human evolution when it comes to fighting and especially the sport of boxing. We're just built different and have specific advantages which are perfectly tailored to making us the best fighters in the world.

    The only elite Eurasian brother to lose a boxing match in their prime is Kostya Tszyu and it took him overlooking his opponent and not being in top shape and them very likely being on PEDs at the time, which for the record they got popped for when they fought outside the US for the first time in a country which actually tested for PEDs and even then it took hundreds of flush PED bombs to defeat Tszyu

    Tszyu was obviously shot to bits when he lost for the second time

    There's a reason why Floyd rated Tszyu P4P 1 and why all of North America's best fighters in or around his weight class at the time flat-out ducked him or even completely skipped 140 when King Kostya was sitting atop of the 140 throne

    GGG never lost in his prime and should be 2-0 against Clenelo in his prime, who is also a PED cheat

    Most believe Bivol should still be undefeated

    We different not just physically but mentally too

    How can you say Bivol fought bums? Besides Canelo and Beterbiev x2 he has Zurdo, Barrera and Pascal. If he beats Benavidez, that'd be a great resume for one division

    He's right in the mix I'd say. Primes, they can all trade Ws and Ls with one another any way you mix them.

    It’s really close. GGG seemed a more complete and versatile fighter to me, so if I had to say, I’d say he was a little better.

    I don't see GGG as a big talent. What was so talented about him? I see him more as a technically solid meat and potatoes type of fighter. Strong, real fighting spirit , and technically very good. Like Bivol and Beterbiev really. None of them stand out as amazing talents.
