If Mikhalkin passes on the fight, Sullivan Barrera is a fight away from the matchup that he's talked about wanting (while facing an opponent that's likely to bludgeon him, tbh).

Barrera vs Beterbiev should be next then eventually add Joe Smith Jr. Aka Bazooka Joe to the mix!

175 is heating up!

Kovalev

Ward

Cleverly

Chilemba

Beterbiev

Joe Smith Jr.

Barrera

Pascal

Wait? This Haymon affiliated promoter is "having trouble securing" opponents for Beterbiev???

WHAAA??? I THOUGHT ONLY TOM LOEFFLER COULDN'T "CLOSE THE DEAL"? BUT NOW HAYMON'S BIGGEST PUNCHER CAN'T FIND TOP OPPONENTS EITHER? EVEN THOUGH HE HAS WAY LESS FIGHTS THAN GGG?? HMMM!!

Weird huh? I guess maybe boxers are just reluctant to get in the ring with power punchers who can break their orbital bones etc after all! I guess it was the obvious explanation after all.

Yvon Michel, don't worry though. You just have to wait until Beterbiev turns about 35 like GGG, then guys will suddenly start saying how they wanted to fight him the whole time....

slappin' soggy would have to be forced at gunpoint into the ring with beterbiev

Joe Smith Jr isn't rated in the top 15 by the IBF. Nice try, trying to protect Barrera there

You forgot the Lineal... Like him or not, he's way up there... Also Beterbiev has to fight Barrera or Gvozdyk and wait for a title fight (Cleverly ?)... All the others are irrelevant at this stage... It's time !

175 is suddenly lit up! Get Barrera in there with Beterbiev IBF! Barrera was running his mouth about fighting Pascal, who is trying to rebuild after getting f***ed up twice by Kovalev, get in there with Beterbiev. Man 2017 in the 175 division is looking hot! Why do fighters not mention Chickenson?! Why is he getting a free pass, Bazooka Joe Smith Jnr deserves a shot against Adonis.
