Artur Beterbiev: All time & H2H

[TIC]

someone ward was beating in his 7th pro fight.

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

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.

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

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.

Beterbiev is a very good fighter, tough as nails and an excellent finisher …. But he has slow feet, fights square on and is relatively easy to hit.

I think Michael Spinks beats him every time. His jerky jerky style was hard to time, very solid technically while being weirdly unorthodox and a crushing right hand. Very good chin at LHW too.
