    A couple sprint to mind for me:-

    "The Dictator" : essentially Bivol seems to always dictate every aspect of fights he is in through his execellnt footwork and distance management. Go back and watch the first 30 seconds of Arthur, Zurdo and Canelo. Bivol dictates the engagement from the get go very early in the fight, and very rarely lets his opponent change things much.

    "Cruise Control" : a bit of a backhanded compliment this one, as Bivol always seems to be coasting - and I'm sure he isn't, it just comes across that way due to his effortless & fluid style

    Bivol's title defences which went the distance

    Pascal - best LHW chin of his generation. Fought everyone only stopped x 2, by a prime murderous punching Krusher and he finished on his feet both times and has only been dropped a couple of times

    Chilemba - fought everyone, only been stopped once in his career, on arm injury against Gvozdyk. Think he's only been dropped by Kovakev and Vlasov

    Joe Smith Jr. has only legitimately been stopped once by the murderous punching Beterbiev

    Clenelo, Zurdo, Salamov, and Richards have never been stopped or even dropped AFAIA

    There are only five combined stoppage losses on all those fighter's records

    Two of them were injury related: Broken jaw, arm injury

    So there are only three legitimate stoppage losses on all those fighters records ie. not injury related and all three of them came at the savagely powerful hands of prime Krusher and Beterbiev

    Rivera has subsequently been stopped by Callum Smith and Arthur had been previously stopped by Yarde who is a massive LHW and a very big puncher. Bivol did floor both of them but couldn't stop them. Arthur only turned up to play defence and survive and he threw very few punches

    Bivol 181 - Pascal 188

    Bivol 184 - Chilemba 189

    Bivol 180 - Agnew 186

    Joe Smith weighed 188 against B-Hop

    Zurdo weighed 196 and 204 for LHW fights

    Salamov looked massive compared to Bivol

    Richards looked a weight class bigger

    So did Arthur to me

    Pretty much all of them were or looked bigger sans Clenelo

    So whilst it's true that Bivol hasn't scored a stoppage win in a long time it's a bit deceptive because he's fought a lot of very tough durable men who either haven't been stopped before or very rarely have been and when they were it was at the hands of some of the hardest punchers in the sport or very big punchers and almost all of them were heavier or much heavier than Bivol too

    It's not like he's on the back foot and running and holding all night or only throwing a handful of shots per round. He's very aggressive, busy and he throws a lot of shots
