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.

We will see how Gvozdyk looks this Saturday. He could be top two. I would say Bivol for now but he hasn’t looked super impressive his last two fights. He still looks good but not at all unbeatable. I still think Alvarez is a bit overrated. I never thought he looked that good and got fortunate to fight a Kovalev who wasn’t what he once was. 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.

At the moment it's Alvarez for me, but if Gvozdyk is impressive this weekend he could take over.
