Who is the best at this time?
Dmitry Bivol
Adonis Stevenson
Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Badou Jack
Eleider Alvarez
Artur Beterbiev
Marcus Browne
Anthony Yarde
I'd say Dmitry Bivol. I think he'd out-box Eleider Alvarez (who I rate as the second-best) for a clear decision win.
Agreed.Quote:

Beterbiev could be at the top if he were a bit more active.
So Bivol is top for me at the moment.
I'd like to see a second or third gear and sense of exhilaration with Bivol. Breaks a guy down impressively but seems to settle in and get a bit predictable in last couple. Alvarez knows he belongs now and has some serious tools and focus. If Stevenson loses and think he will I can see him calling it a day.
Bivol is kind of like caught in the middle of spectrum between What kovalev was and what beterbiev is. He doesn't have Kovalev's ferver / ruthlessness. But he doesn't appear to have beterbiev's wandering indifference/complacency. I'm sure he could probably get mean late if someone drove him to it and was fading. Hes just going to be very controlled unless there's a lot of blood in the water.Quote:

I think Bivol, but we don’t really know unless he fights Alvarez or beterbiev. Not up on Gvoz to be honest, will have to see how he does against Stevenson, who I think looks half done.
