Artur Beterbiev: All time & H2H

[Big J]

The knockdown against Kovalev was more than a flash knockdown. Just because Ward smiled doesn't mean he wasn't hurt. You're actually taking credit away from Ward for getting back up from that shot
I'm with you that the low punches didn't make any difference to how the second fight would have finished
Why is mentioning the Boone fight & knockdown ridiculous? You asked: When did you see Ward wobble? & When did you see Ward even lose a round against someone of Yarde’s level?
I provided an example of when I saw Ward wobble, I saw Ward wobble back from the uppercut Boone landed as he fell
It could be debated but I'd consider Boone & Yarde comparable in level, so I also saw Ward lose a round against someone of Yarde's level
Dismissing the Boone fight because it was a 6 rounder is moving the goal posts from your original questions

Excellent, this is a great line of argument, I approve. Yarde and Boone at the same level!.. so now we've got beterbiev in his 7th title defence losing rounds to a guy on the same level as someone ward was beating in his 7th pro fight.

artur beterbiev would have abused andre ward. it would have been as one sided as a gang rape

I was responding to the question that was asked about Ward losing a round to someone of Yarde's level. If you want to debate that Yarde is a higher or lower level to Boone we can do that but your reply has nothing to do with the question I replied to

[palmerq]

Well It has nothing to do with the question you replied to because I wasn't responding to the ambling alp... Anyway why would I want to debate Yarde and Boone I was agreeing with you!

someone ward was beating in his 7th pro fight.

artur had already beaten a former world champion by his seventh fight

[Spicoli]

I'm gonna go with it being a wash and chalk it up as both Ward and Beterbiev were 1 year into career give or take a few months as pros. Both got 'touched' in their 7th fight but won. But Yarde quite possibly will never compare to Boone in big name wins and moments. But Beterbiev still beats Ward at 175..hypothetically . Of course.

[palmerq]

If Boone was the money man he'd have beaten them all and we wouldn't be having this discussion.


So my revised rankings

Rjj
Boone
Ward
Kovalev

In the words of his camp and wide eyed trainer..."we wuz robbed...a lot"!

You guys forget that SOG was a bigger draw than Arthur, he would have fought Beterbiev in his backyard, dragged him at SM and he would have Dawsoned him.
