Wins & Performances at 39+ years old : Where does Beterbievs rank?

Lol.

7-5 Beterbiev is very plausible. There are about 3 swing rounds in a fight where it's a winner by a round. A "gift" is disrespectful to his effort.

 

Many had Golovkin winning the third fight against Canelo.

 

Stopped dominantly for the first time in his career inside 7 rounds. I would say yes, that is relative ease. That's not exactly what a reasonable person would call difficult.

 

It was. I was wrong about Bivol not Smith. Keep on coping and reaching. Fact of the matter is you have been hilariously inaccurate in picking his fights for YEARS. Seeing the screeching and effeminate energy from you trying diminish his career accomplishments is both hilarious and pathetic to say the least. First ballot HOF, an ATG LHW etc.

 

Hopkins was done as an elite fighter by age 39. You want to see what an elite fighter does Jean Pascal? This is what an elite fighter does to B level fighters.

I'm no fan of Khabib or his successor Islam Makhachev. Beterbiev is the only Caucasian Muslim fighter that I'm a big fan of currently. So no that would not be true.

 

It's right up there.. to be undisputed is an exclusive club as it is but to do it at nearly 40 is exceptional.. he even finished the stronger one in the fight.. Beterbiev is an ATG. I remember following him right from the get go and watching his demolition of cloud and thinking this fellas going to be special ... and then his career stalled multiple times and I thought what a waste.. but finally he came through.. the robbery talk is nonsense as well.. sour grapes.. could have gone either way

 

No it isn't Hopkins racked up losses like nobody's business when he got old.

 

What are you talking about ?

Hopkins KO'ed ODLH aged 39.

Schooled Antonio Tarver aged 41 which would be Beterbiev's 2nd best win of his career.

Beat Winky Wright aged 42.

Razor thin close loss to Joe Calzaghe aged 42.

Schooled Kelly Pavlik aged 43.

Robbed vs Pascal in their 1st fight then beat him comprehensively in the rematch aged 46.

Schooled undefeated Tavoris Cloud aged 48.

Hopkins was ranked as the number 1 Light Heavyweight for 6 years after the age of 40 and you're saying he was done as an elite fighter aged 39 ? Are you mad ?

As for Pascal ? Hopkins beat him in his mid 40s lol and Kovalev fought him 5 years after the 1st meeting with Hopkins.
