    Just in general overall boxing ability and IQ

    Just trying to get a sense of where everyone's head is.

    Reality Check I like Abregu he's a very good fighter, but Abregu was getting beaten up badly by Tim Bradley and dropped by him as well, Abregu lucked out and KO'd Dulorme he set traps for him and caught him in his glass jaw. But Abregu obviously doesn't have a ****ing clue how to fight a retreating counter puncher, dare I say most fighters with that style would have been a problem for Abregu that night.

    Francisco Santana isn't the most amazingly skilled boxer nor is Jeremy Bryan but they were both on his ass from start to finish, Ali looked average against Santana and terrible against Bryan and that match rightfully should have been a draw if it weren't for a late KD Bran suffered.

    Ali is not that skilled otherwise he wouldn't have struggled with 2 erstwhile contenders the way he did.

    Beterbiev already has wins over Cloud and Campillo, either of those wins trump anything on Ali's resume. Beterbiev is a offensively brilliant pressure fighter with great timing and great footwork that gets him into position to land effectively before his opponent seems to even be aware of it, which takes far more skill than running away and landing sucker punches as his opponent comes after him and that in reality is what Ali does.


    Beterbiev is far more well rounded and skilled than Ali who is nothing more than an average Mayweather clone.

    I'm just curious who Biev will fight next. He's stepping up with every fight and it looks like he could face someone from the top 15 now.

    Nothing funny about it, their preference. With that said Beterbiev is the better and more skilled fighter.

    How come you did not show up for our fight the other day? I was shadowboxing outside Minute Maid Park for two hours wearing a Reilly Cooper jersey but you never showed.

    Beterbiev without a doubt, just because Sadam Ali looks more flashy doesn't mean he's more skilled.

    I hope people who picked Sadam Ali aren't serious. Just because someone is an outside fighter doesn't make them more skilled. :patsch

    Easily, Beterbiev has the more skills.
