Arum, outta his got dam mind! I can think of many who would have boxed circles around his aSs and more lately Andre Ward, but Michael Spinx and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and many more would have given him a run for his money but I understand Arum, it’s still all business.
Best ever? GTFOH are we forgetting guys like Ezzard Charles, Gene Tunney, Archie Moore etc etc
Bob Arum needs to put the crackpipe down, his attempts at "prompting" his fighter(s) are a joke of late.
He's definitely a good fighter, but still, u don't have to go back too far to find many light heavyweights who would beat Beterbiev, including Andre Ward, and a prime Kovalev. No need to go way back in history. Those guys would also beat Beterbiev. He's pretty good for right now, but he wouldn't even beat Bivol
You cant blame Arum, Dementia is setting in already. It is normal at his age. And this is not denigrating Beterbiev 'cos he is good, but there is a string of all time Light Heavyweights all time better than him at this point. Spinks, Muhammad, Jones Jr etc.. He may be in that mix later, though he's already up there in age but he isn't right now.
