Undefeated Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 For me it's the lineal and WBC champ Adonis Stevenson but who you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Re: Who's the best light-heavyweight in the world right now? I thought he lost to Badou Jack, although i'm not upset with the draw. Plus i haven't been impressed with his string of title defenses. I'd go with Dmitry Bivol. Now if Adonis beats Gvozdyk, and impressively? He'll be #1.

Adonis is 41, he's bound to have started slowing down by now. Gvozdyk looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman's not very 'likeable' bcos of his shameful past personal life, but there's no doubting his boxing credentials. No1 for me too, at the moment.

Cableaddict Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Re: Who's the best light-heavyweight in the world right now? I think Bivol may well be the overall best right now, but of course he hasn't been tested at the highest level. I also still like Marcus Browne, when his head's in the game, but H2H I doubt he could defeat Bivol. Same for Beterbiev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrianpitbull Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Re: Who's the best light-heavyweight in the world right now? The division is so wide open it is hard to choose, but if I had to I would have to say Eleider Alvarez. He is very hungry, paid his dues, has good physical characteristics and boxing skills to match.

Ton Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Re: Who's the best light-heavyweight in the world right now? Accomplishment / Record..... 1. Jack 2. Stevenson 3. Alvarez 4. Kovalev 5. Bivol Best in terms of talent/ability and who would win if they all faced off tomorrow..... Bivol goes to the top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all he's beaten is Cleverly at 175 if I recall right That's correct, plus a draw with Stevenson. I think it's fair to take into consideration who he beat at Super middle since he fought some top names and when the debate of who's ranked where it all stems from actual victories. --- You sound like a candidate for Ton's Fight Score Website experiment looking for better consensus scoring results that judges are never held accountable for.

I am not re-modding a forum that has 2 Super-Mods and 3 Mods. We actually have a No spoilers rule and I got sick to death of PM's on a Sunday morning complaining about spoilers which I had to edit while I should have been posting the downloads. When in fact 2 of the staff on that forum are actually the biggest culprits for posting spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Re: Who's the best light-heavyweight in the world right now? Bivol seems the obvious choice, even though he's still not solidly proven. - But Beterbiev could surprise a lot of people in his next fight. (vs Smith.) Having been tagged badly in his last fight, and really for the first time, he might finally be willing to realize that his defense basically sucks. If so, and if he starts working on this in training, he could finally become a complete fighter, and thus insanely dangerous. Bivol has gifts, but Beterbiev has a huge gas tank / high output that wears opponents down even when the shots are blocked. Also, I think Beterbiev's hands are slightly faster than even Bivol's, though it's hard to say because of the reach difference. They both have lightning fast reflexes. They both has incredible power. Beterbiev is also now proven to be tough & relentless, even when hurt. Has Bivol even been clocked really hard? Do we know if he has chin & heart? That could possibly end up being the difference.
