John Scully, a former fighter, current trainer and long-time boxing diehard, answers a question about Artur Beterbiev, the unbeaten unified light heavyweight champion who has won all 18 of his bouts by knockout, by asking a question about heavyweights.
How would Beterbiev compare, Scully is asked, to some of the great light heavyweights in boxing history? The Light heavyweight division has had some of the best fighters in the sport's history, so it's high praise to even be considered among the top 175-pounders ever.
The late 1970s and early 1980s was a great era for light heavyweight boxing, with fighters such as Saad Muhammad, Michael Spinks, Marvin Johnson, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Mike Rossman, Victor Galindez, and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, among others, at or near the top of the division. The problem most modern fighters have when being compared to fighters of the past is the urban legend. Boxing was bigger 40 years ago than it is now, and most divisions were deeper. But athletes and their training methods have improved so much over the years and so it's unfair to ignore that.
But boxing still has a good share of elite athletes, and Beterbiev is one of them. Yarde, of course, knows what he's up against.
